SURPRISE ENDING

American Idol Pours On The Heartbreak

By Nicki R

Nicki R. BOO AND BOO HOO!

Americans' sent home four performers last night and it's night's like these that makes you think the vote is rigged.

First to go is Katelyn Epperly. I was happy to see her go since she hasn't wowed me this year. Apparently the judges are looking for people with "wow" factors and Katelyn doesn't have it.

Then Todrick Hall gets the boot. I thought he did a great job and he moved the audience. But I guess he didn't "wow" America and wasn't memorable enough to get votes.

Then Alex "Mullet" Lambert gets cut -- but still not the one he needs!

Yes! Alex did good this week but maybe he'd be better without that mullet! Not too sad to see him go.

The big shocker is the last girl to be eliminated. The show pits Katie Stevens and Lilly Scott against each other and it's the very talented and amazing Lilly who's sent packing.

I would have bet gobs of money that Lilly was going to make it to the final top 10. This is a sad moment in American Idol history. I haven't been as heartbroken since David Archuleta lost two years ago.

The show goes on. Next week the top 12 contestants compete to see who will be the next American Idol.

Everyone keeps asking, did America get it right? If we have to ask this question then clearly no! BRING BACK THE WILDCARD! I think if next week we hear Andrew does another acoustic rendition of something (probably a song originally sung by a girl) American will know they've made a grave mistake, lets hope he surprises us.

OMG what a travesty!!! Alex Lambert really had the most unique voice with real potential. An Lilly who came as a surprise to everyone. I can't believe it but I think it wasn't a surprise to me. He had some of the lowest online fan base which goes to show why people who lets be honest don't still belong there like Tim Urban and sadly also Andrew Garcia who have a ridiculously huge fan base. Same with Lily who just didn't have much of an online presence.

Goes to show people should have been more active in spreading the word online to support their favorites. No one to blame but yourselves. Studies done by Baduku show that Baduku and Twitter fan base have been the most accurate when it comes to defining the top 12. http://www.baduku.com/americanidol9
