American Idol Season 11 announces Top 6

First entry for this blog and I’m strategizing to make this BIG, and by saying BIG, I mean Beguiling, Interesting and for lack of a better term Great, someday. My other blog concerns technological stuffs, mostly tutorials about networking devices and updates. If that just poked your attention, here’s the link http://epicguru.blogspot.com. Now, for this blog, I’m going to get into some of my most interesting thoughts about people, events, lifestyles, places, and things that I know a great deal of people crack about.

Now, let’s talk about the world’s number one TV show, American Idol. In its eleventh season, Nielsen’s statistics shows a sharp 17% drop in its ratings compared to previous year’s pilot episode. It was also noted to be the series’ lowest opening since its first season. This year must have been worrisome for Fox given that NBC’s newest talent competition, The Voice, topples the 11-year old Idol by nearly doubling the latter’s premiere ratings. Though competition is raging between these TV shows, Idol still promises a lot more exciting episodes from its auditions to its finale considering that The Voice runs on a more distinctive pattern. Randy Jackson even pointed out once that the latter pools its casts not just from any remote counties; these are people who have had record deals beforehand.  While AI searches for the total package, The Voice seeks for best vocal abilities that might deter the need for auto tuning.

American Idol Season 11’s thirtieth episode has put through six incredible talents to clash this Wednesday 8/7C. Joshua, Hollie, Phillip, Skylar, Jessica and Elise are the lucky remaining contestants who will battle for the five remaining slots for next week. It’s a tug of war between these young people and the number of their supporters around the US and all over the world skyrocket incessantly. The Idol judges have become very exacting about each contestant’s song choice, arrangement and overall performance week by week especially when Jessica was almost extracted from the show a week back. It was a night full of drama for Idol since Jessica has been very consistent with her performances and the judges has repeatedly conferred that she might be the next female Idol winner after Jordin Sparks on its sixth season.

Last week was the toughest for all remaining finalists since their fate lies solely to America’s votes after the judge’s only save was used up to Jessica’s favor. Before hitting the stage, nerves were painted all over their faces. Each got to sing two songs from now and then. The soulful powerhouse Sanchez said that she was already hopeless when she was announced eliminated since nobody’s really safe in this kind of competition. Everyone stood on their feet including Jane Lynch from Glee when judges Jennifer Lopez, Randy Jackson, and Steven Tyler ran across the audience to cut Jessica short from singing since for them she doesn’t merit the judgment. It could have been a wakeup call for Jessica’s fans that put her through until this week. Jessica’s performances that were posted on youtube earned millions of views and praises. Followers of the show said that she’s the first AI finalist to top youtube views and the first female contestant to receive the judges’ save. Apparently, Jessica’s making a history for the show and hopefully for the world. Unfortunately, following Jessica’s save, it was the end of the road for Colton Dixon, a 20-year old lad from Tennessee. Colton, alongside Phillips and Sanchez, has never been n the bottom three and was anticipated by many to join Jessica in the finale. Although it was hard for him and his family, Colton said he’s so much lucky to reach as far as Top Seven for someone who never intended to audition, recalling that it was only her sister Schyler who auditioned this season and he, being in the audition room, was convinced only by the judges.
