Surprises In American Idol First Cuts Of The Season
TENSIONS ARE HIGH WHEN THE FIRST ELIMINATIONS OF AMERICAN IDOL'S ninth season are announced. The night's results were tallied after 24 million votes were cast.
Sent packing first is Janell Wheeler who had sung Heart's What About Love. I was certain Janelle would be safe for one more week; I was very wrong and disappointed.
Up next is shocking red-haired Allison Iraheta who sings Scars, the second single off her debut album Just Like You. The 17-year-old fan fav jokes on stage that she feels like she's about to be eliminated. "I'm just glad I'm not in their shoes right now."
That was no joke for Ashley Rodriguez, who had sung Leona Lewis' Happy. She's the second girl to go. Simon predicted she'd have a hard time getting through this week so no doubt he's HAPPY to be right.
I was shocked by the elimination of Joe Munoz who had sung Jason Mraz's You and I Both. I was stunned that he was ditched before Tim Urban who had performed horribly. And I was positively gobsmacked when Tyler Grady was the second guy offed. He was a fun performer and I would have liked him to have gotten a chance to show off more.
But as last season's winner Kris Allen sings during a tribute to Haiti, I'll just Let It Be. I'm happy my Chicago guys are still standing strong.
The top 24 is now the top 20. Next week, more hits from Billboard.
