Speaking of clout in the industry, let's fast forward to Joshua Ledet being deemed safe (don't you just love it when they annihilateyour predictions in the first five minutes of the show?) and thereplay of Jennifer Lopez urging Jimmy Iovine not to screw up Joshua's recording career. Is it not crystalclear to the judges and producers of Idol that America takes umbrage when the judges promote their favorites in suchblatant, conspicuous ways? Apparently not, since not only did theyshow Jennifer playing "teacher-with-a-pet" again, butthen Jimmy follows up with his solemn vow to do everything in hisand Interscope 's power to make Joshua a star. Wow. Remind us again why we vote at all? Why don't the judges, AmericanIdol producer Nigel Lythgoe and Jimmy just form a club that gets together once a week todetermine which aspiring singer they want to endorse? It was hard to stay angry with Jimmy for long though. When heoffered his take on Jessica Sanchez 's performance of "Proud Mary," it was as if he wastaking the words right from my page and announcing them for theworld to hear. Yes! Jessica's performance was disconcerting. And no, Jennifer, it isn't just"middle-America," who finds teenage girls beingsexualized on television as disturbing. Moving on. The performances of the evening canceled each other out. Coldplaywas decent but something was going on with Carrie Underwood. Shelooked amazing in her white, billowy, Grecian gown but her vocalson "Blown Away," were so sharp they were slicing throughmy eardrums. It was obvious when she chatted briefly with Ryan Seacrest after her performance, that she must be under the weather. Thatdefinitely was not the voice that helped her outlast every othercontestant to be crowned American Idol almost seven years ago tothis day. We then learned that Phillip Phillips and Jessica were one week closer to experiencing the same fate, asthey were both announced as safe. That left us with ng Hollie Cavanagh and Skylar Laine in the bottom two. Seeing Hollie in the bottom two was notsurprising, since she's basically a fixture in the bottom weekafter week. But it was disappointing (the fact that I didn'tinclude her in my bottom three predictions , only enhanced my disappointment.) When Ryan announced Hollie wassafe and Skylar's journey had come to an end, the girls embracedone another fiercely before Skylar performed one last time on theAmerican Idol stage. And did she ever perform! So many times, theswan song is a half-hearted, lame duck performance characterized bychoked back tears or some other prevailing emotion. But Skylarperformed "Gunpowder and Lead," with suchprofessionalism, it was as if the viewer were watching her inconcert. This season won't be the same without our "Little-Reba." Let's hope that Jimmy can take a break from planning Joshua's worlddomination and help Skylar do what she was born to do - perform.
