AI2: The Men Return

The male contestants on this year’s American Idol came back in full force last night, with stellar performances from Blake, Sundance, Chris Sligh and Nicholas (who I don’t particularly like).
Based on last night’s performances, I think those four are safe.
I’m not a Phil fan; mainly his shiny bald head freaks me out (a little stubble or a hat would help). But last night Phil was boring. I can’t remember what song he did, which as Simon is always quick to point out is a bad thing.
So I think Phil is going to go. I think Brandon is in danger of leaving too. I like “Time after Time,” but his interpretation was blah at best. Plus, I kept laughing because I was thinking about Randy from My Name Is Earl, who always listens to “Time After Time” when he breaks up with a girl (if you watch the show, you know how hilarious that was).
Chris Richardson and Jarod failed to wow me as well. But it was good to see Sundance come back. He did that massive goatee proud!
Of all of the men, I think Blake has the best chance of taking it (though after last week, I think the women have a better shot this year). Speaking of the women, they’ll take the stage tonight. People, stop voting for Antonella. She should have gone home last week, she (by the actions of previous years) should have been sent home when those “art” photos showed up on the internet, and no matter what, she should be sent home this week.
