This has to be the strangest Idol season ever. I just have no sense of who’s leaving and who’s staying. Well, I didn’t before today. I was checking out Vote For The Worst again this morning. Turns out they are voting for Brooke White now. And they are celebrating the loss of Carly Smithson. Weird. But the last time I looked at the site they were voting for Kristy Lee Cook. She hung on for ever didn’t she? Do you think VFTW is strong enough to swing the results that much?
Anyway, here’s the latest from EW.com:
Simon Cowell may have loved Carly Smithson (this week), but American Idol voters didn’t. Despite rare praise from the hard-to-please judge Tuesday night after her roaring performance of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ‘‘Superstar,’’ the former recording artist-turned-bartender-turned top 6 Idol finalist couldn’t rustle up enough support from the public to avoid getting cut on Wednesday’s results show. Joining her in the bottom two was her Idol roommate, Syesha Mercado, who now returns to compete next week, when Neil Diamond will be the mentor. True to form, front-runners David Cook and David Archuleta were announced as safe early in the show; more surprising, the judges’ harsh assessments of Jason Castro and Brooke White this week clearly didn’t hurt enough with voters to leave either at risk of elimination.

Ugh. What will happen now?
