This past Thursday I got home around 7:45 and didn't want to turn on the show I was recording and watch the ending so I decided to catch a glimpse of the American Idol voting off show. Wow, what gripping television, just kidding. The part that really amazed was what happened after the released the voting results.
First every one was in shock. I know nothing about these singers; which one is better or if one is a jerk and doesn't deserve to be there. However, the nature of the show is that people are voted off weekly, so you have to expect someone to leave each week. People were in tears and saying how great of a guy he was and didn't deserve to be voted. Of course, if he's a good singer he must be a great guy. No one that can sing would run over kittens or anything mean like that. Its not like he is going out to pasture and being shot. He is just being voted off and has to go back to his mitiful, meaningless life in Anytown, USA.
The second thing that stuck out to me was that he had to sing another song moments after being told he sucked and had to leave the show, and oh yeah America hates you and they didn't vote for you to stay. It hadn't even hit him yet and then he had to belt out a song for the same American Public that voted him off, and now these same voters were cheering and having a good time with him. It seems bizarre to make someone perform one more time after being voted off. Thats like being fired on a Monday and having to finish the work week. Telling a pilot that he's fired, but first land this plane.
If I was voted off American Idol I would proceed to sing Rape Me by Nirvana or Closer by Nine Inch Nails or College Girls are Easy by Eazy-E.
