American Idol: Goodbye Chris, Goodbye Phil

by guest bloggers Becky and Bethany

Last night we bid adieu to Chris Richardson and Phil Stacy. Yep, Phil Stacy. America paid its last respects to the bald sailor, as he was one of the latest casualties of American Idol.

We’ll admit we were wrong. We knew Chris was going; it was just his time. But we were sure that LaKisha was going to get the ax also. This baffles us why? Well, not because Phil was our favorite, and we wanted him to win, but because he has actually been trying and seemed to want it more than LaKisha.

The only explanation is that maybe LaKisha’s fan base is a little bigger than Phil’s? There is no doubt though that he will be around in some other form. He actually does have talent and seems like a genuine guy. He’ll probably land a record deal, probably in the country genre. So he won’t be gone forever. It’ll be interesting though to see if the big-time record executives let him keep his current look.

Other than that and the show being extended into an hour-long drama, it wasn’t that bad of an evening. R & B singer Robin Thicke performed, as well as Bon Jovi.

On a disappointing note, it would have been cool to hear Bon Jovi sing one of their classics, but that didn’t happened.

So, next week we rewind in time and go back to when we were only mere toddlers and the contestants weren’t even thoughts. Barry Gibb is the guest mentor, and the Idol producers are already getting out the disco balls to hang. Can you hear the excitement and thrill in our words? How will we cope getting through the next six days? Come on Idol producers, Barry Gibb?

Maybe we’ll be back next week, maybe not….
