Error Leads to 'American Idol' Revote
Can't they just send Mikalah home and get it over with?
Last night was filled with strong performances and strong statements, including Simon's bizarre assertion that Carrie, who I like but who has underwhelmed lately and whose vocal imperfections last night were masked by a mix that amped up the background singers, will not only win the competition but will sell more records than any previous Idol. What on earth will they do for an encore tonight? I suppose if any show could come up with a way to fill an extra hour, this is it. Almost makes you wonder if this mistake was an intentional ratings grab...
Speaking of intentions, it looks like I was right and it will be up to the Supreme Court to decide whether Michael Schiavo has the right to determine those of his wife. Every day that passes leaves less chance that Terri's parents will succeed; the folks who want to keep Terri alive so her parents can imagine that her reflexive movements are actually forms of intentional communication are running out of both time and venues. If the Supreme Court actually rules on the case rather than simply dismissing it, I look forward to a scathing Scalia dissent that derides the majority (which will side with the Florida courts, I predict) as both killers and soldiers of evil in the culture war. It's that kind of respect for your peers that will make you a great Chief Justice, Nino!

I'm not sure if God knows the answer to that question. Here's what all the articles say: "This new show will combine new live elements with encores of Tuesday’s performances from the remaining 11 contestants." Does "encores" mean "reruns," as it does when the West Wing season finale gets an "encore" before the new season starts? Or will they sing again? And what are these new "live elements?" (I'm betting they're just re-showing last night's stuff and tossing in the ensemble dance number that would have been done on tonight's results show, for the record, but I'll let you know...)
Actually, I'm kind of glad that they're showing it again (or parts of it again) because I wasn't home to watch it last night and we forgot to schedule it into our DVR.
That ratings thing is the key, though: They don't need help with Idol's ratings, but they could use another night of Idol to help Fox's overall standing. This way they get it AND avoid being accused of relying too heavily on the show. It's win-win.
Ratings, schmatings. I don't care about ratings. I am just looking forward to being able to see (or hopefully see) last night's performances.
Oh, and I agree--get rid of Mikaylah (or however she spells it).
