Clare Henney: April 2011

American Idol isn’t turning out to be what I expected.  I’m disappointed with how things have turned out.

While several of my “maybe” bets are out already (like Karen, Naima and Thia), one of my favorites, Paul McDonald was already voted out.  On one end, it may be a good thing so that he can do his own kind of music in his own style (and just let Idol be a platform for him to stardom like what Chris Daughtry did), but it would have been nice to see someone unique like him win.

I don’t really care about Ashthon or Pia leaving, the one person that really affects me Haley.  I can’t explain it but I just don’t like her.  Yes, she can sing, no doubt about that…it’s just that her personality ain’t much for me.  She’s just too blah in that department.  Ditto with James Durbin.  Too many rockers have come and gone on Idol and he just feels like one of the many to me.  Compared to Idol rockers of the past, he’d be the weak link.
