Final goodbye!

PIA TOSCANO is finally out of American Idol! And I’m glad the judges have used up their Wild Card because I can’t stand another day listening to Pia’s boring ballads, no matter how strong her voice is.

Viewers were shocked with her elimination. So were the judges who let out a swear word or two but to viewers who feel she’s just playing it safe by singing ballad after ballad, it is good riddance.

Pia was voted out on Thursday night after her rendition of an Ike & Tina Turner song, taking the judges’ advice undoubtedly. Swear all you want judges but I’m glad the road is open for other more unique talents.

There’s no argument on how good she is. Like the judges have said a thousand times before: she just doesn’t miss a note. But, not missing a note does not mean every one will like her voice. If the voice is good but it can only do boring ballads – hello, goodbye.

(From Top, Left) Casey, James, Ousted Thia, Lovely Lauren, Bye Bye Pia and Closed-Eyes Stefano.

Some viewers might be pointing a finger at the judges for suggesting she does something else besides ballads and when she did she got kicked out. My very point - she can’t sing anything else but … and probably this made people think – she isn’t that special after all.

But don’t worry Pia. With that voice and good looks you’re bound to become a recording artiste anyway. So let’s give the space on American Idol to unique talents like Jacob Lusk, Casey Abrams and Paul McDonald. If you noticed, these guys always get the crowd’s attention, no matter what they sing because there’s uniqueness in each of their voices.

I love Stefano Langone and his closed eyes but he is inconsistent. One day he feels his music, the next he doesn’t. I think Lauren Alaina is talented, cute and cheeky and wouldn’t mind if she wins or leave at an earlier stage (yes, she will get a recording deal as well anyway). Scotty McCreery – you rock with country and that’s where you belong. You can leave early too and still get a record deal. Haley Reinhart, you're good too but I think you will soon leave too. And what have I to say about James Durbin? No way. You’re too much like Adam Lambert but several notches down. If there’s going to be two “Lambert”s I only want the original please. Sorry.
