Who got kicked off American Idol May 19? Casey James. We knew it was coming. He’s a good-looker, and can sing pretty well, but gosh, not the personality of Lee DeWyze or Crystal Bowersox.
Have I mentioned the formula for American Idol, and the various programs around the world – that multi-billion dollar “Idol” machine that it is? What exactly is it that is the winning formula? It’s the “back-story” of the contestant, and the emotional appeal. It’s the ones who come from the most modest, or even most difficult circumstances that get the votes. It’s not just the singing by a long shot. Search it on the web, you’ll find articles about this phenomena.
Now – -who will ultimately win? Who is the next American Idol. I’ve been saying that it will be Crystal Bowersox all along, and I still think so. I think Lee is great, too, and would buy both artists tunes (my criteria).
Who do YOU think will win next week? It’s big fun to predict – so please post!
