Well here's a guy who we forgot existed. Back in season 8, Anoop Desai showed a lot of VFTW promise early on but then stuck to slow ballads that didn't really interest us. Now he's making music videos where a girl keeps killing him. The results are actually not bad. The song is kind of catchy and the video is kind of fun, although the effects are a bit cheesy. So hey, maybe there's a career in the cards for him after all. Not too shabby.
Oh hell no. Lil Rounds is gone, and the bottom 3 are the non-white contestants. AMERICA IS RACIST! And God said let there be light... skinned people. America puts on its KKK hood and eliminates the 2 darker skinned contestants. The judges save the white guy and let the others go home. Now we're stuck with 4 white dudes and a 40 year old red head. America, what have you done? Listen to the radio show at 10 PM Eastern and help us decide who's next.
From MJ's Big Blog, here is a video of Simon Cowell on Good Day LA. Fast forward to 4 minutes in. Simon says that the save was used this week because he figured the following week, the last week it could be used, Anoop would be the one with the least votes. He says he would not have wanted to save Anoop. Since Simon banks on being prescient each week, look for Anoop to be one of the 2 sent home next week. If we can get Lil past Matt, Kris, or Allison in the votes, our girl might stick around. But it's going to be incredibly, incredibly difficult.
Since we're not 100% sold on any of the other contestants in the way we were with Megan, we're going to wait to make our pick until this Tuesday when we see them all sing again. Scott is leading the pack at this point since he has the foresight to make us really like him these last few weeks. But he also definitely has Allison and Anoop along for the ride and hot on his tail as the other 2 VFTW considerations. So if any of you contestants want some extra votes, ours are up for grabs. And if the loyal readers of this site want to know who the pick is as soon as we decide, sign up for our Facebook and Twitter feeds. We'll send you the number on Tuesday as soon as we know, especially since we're still tweaking the site to get it to stay up well during show nights. Make sure to join up so you won't be left out. And check back on Tuesday! (P.S. Watch out for Gokeysaurus)
