American Idol March 15th  “A Parallel Universe”  3/16/06 

By Marcus  

After a campfire sing along with the twelve hopefuls hawking a Ford, Stevie Wonder showed them and us true creative genius in the music business. After that, it was time to reveal the outcome of 30+ million votes. The three lowest scorers were announced and this is my recap:

            The first to walk to the chopping block was Ace. Someone stacked the deck against this tasty hunk of a singer. He isn’t the best male vocalist in the group but with his “come to me, darling” bedroom eyes and dangerous smile, and with just a little more polishing, he could be the whole package. There is no way he should be even close to the bottom three.

            Then the “oh, am I suppose to remember all the words to the song?” Melissa did her walk to the block. This was not a surprise to her or to us. She just didn’t shine when she had the chance. She missed the big-time and has no one to blame but herself. Will she continue singing somewhere else? Of course. But she will never be a major hit and will soon be forgotten even as a contestant.

            Finally Lisa was called to do the block walk. This is madness. This is the result of a psychotic populace delusional with inability to separate the reality of this incredible dynamic WOW singer for the baby check wobble of Kevin. It was an insult for Lisa to be there. There is a parallel universe out there and they have been allotted too many cell phones. Come back to sanity, my friends.

            But tonight only the bottom road sweeper was given the brush-off and it was Melissa. Both Ace and Lisa were given a second chance. And come next week, they will have to powerful, dynamic and exciting to come up in the votes.

            Did I mention that Kevin should have walked the block walk?
