Our Take On The American Idol Results Show 02-21-08 Thursday Night it was the 'Results Show' where the results of "America's" votes were broadast. This was the first Results Show of Season 7, where 2 'boys' and 2 'girls' were sent home. The below were the scores of the contestants that were sent home as ranked by Tina and Michael the night of their performance: The 'Results'
The following are our thoughts after watching the performances nights and the results show night: Garret Haley - Michael was surprised that Garret was cut so quickly at the beginning of the show, but then again it was the first Results Show, so a 'shocker' start would keep 'America' tuned in. Tina wasn't surprised although she had ranked others lower in performance than Garret. Joanne Borgella - Ryan had Amanda Overmyer and Joanne stand up together... one was going home. Now that would have been a shock if Amanda had been sent home as both Tina and Michael gave Amanda a 10.0 each! However 'America' got it right between those two and Joanne was sent home... Amy Davis - At this point in the eliminations there are usually too many choices and those contestants that don't stand out right away are cut. Tina ranked Amy's performances as the 8th lowest so it wasn't a surprise to her. Michael also had Amy ranked in the bottom quarter of contestants so no surprise there.... Colton Berry - Now Tina and I were both surprised that Colton was chosen to stand as one of the two to go home, but when it came between him Chikezie, it wasn't a surprise that it was Colton going home. Early on 'America' gets into different "camps" and votes for 'favorites' instead of by performances. Chikezie was both Tina's and Michael's lowest ranked 'boy' performer, but it was not he who went home.... This early in the elimination round it is hard for Tina or myself to get overly upset that someone is cut... as neither of us has invested enough time in watching a contestant make a run for the Idol crown. We aren't as close to these contestants as those that are actually participating. However it is a little unusual this early in the game for tears to flow and flow by any contestant like Ramiele Malubay, who we thought did an excellent job performing, but come on, the overflow of tears for those going home that night was a little much this early on...!
