“Adios To Four More”

American Idol, February 28, 2008

By Marcus

After nearly thirty-one million votes, four more hopefuls have tasted the harsh bitter reality of defeat and rejection by the voters. The first to receive the kiss of gloom was Jason Yeager and that was no surprise. He has not demonstrated any impressive singing nor has he made contact with this audience.

The next to be sent home packing was Alexandrea Lushington. Again, this was not a total surprise. She needs to find herself musically and then maybe, and only maybe, she will have a chance to make music.

The third one voted out was a very emotional Alaina Whitaker who just last week turned 17. She was almost beyond recovery to sing her farewell song, but the American Idol women surrounded her with love and support that enabled her to sing her final song on the Idol stage. The problem she had during Wednesday’s performance was that she did not stand out. Whether or not in the future she will make her music mark is unclear, but at such a young age and with drive and guts, she can do it.

The last to go was Robbie Carrico who I thought would last into next week but not more than that. He did not make himself standout from the pack to become the leader. He will continue drag racing and singing, but don’t expect him to be among the racing legends nor on the top of the music charts.

We are now down to 16 finalists and next week return here for the recap written just for you.
