On last night’s “American Idol,” Filipina Jessica Sanchez was “saved” by the Judges. And, good gawd, what a tribal dance of love that “save” was.
Know what? I could be VERY wrong, but, to me, there was something very orchestrated about it all.
Firstly, two of the best singers on the show had the lowest votes- the Joshua bloke, Ms Sanchez and some woman- Elise? who shouldn’t still be there.
She’s crap and should visit places like the Philippines and even Hong Kong and listen to any of the covers bands.
She wouldn’t even raise an eyebrow with her karaoke singing and where her duet with that other overrated piece of crap on the Gotye/Kimbra song – Philip?- showed that how fucking ordinary they are/she is and just how outta touch the judges are with music produced outside of the States.
You’ve lost a long-time fan, Steven Tyler: The version by these two karaoke singers was something which should never have been allowed to happen.
How the fuck can you praise this piece of shit? Shame on you and now go and belly flop again.

As for these three with the lowest votes yesterday for real or contrived to create “good television.” Or was it www.fark.com at work?
I know my thoughts on the whole damn thing and have to wonder who is running this Titanic of a show these days.
I am proud to say that Simon Fuller, the creator of the “Idol” franchise, is someone I know, respect and consider a friend.
But, where does Executive Producer Nigel Lythgoe fit into all of this along with Freemantle, the production side of the show, and News Corp/Fox Television?
Along with Elvis, has Simon left the building? I think so.
I just don’t believe he would have allowed something as so orchestrated as the “save” of Jessica Sanchez have happened.
This was cornball, manipulative, rancid television and which has made me turn this wretched season of “Idol” worship off for good.
Jessica Sanchez- and her parents- have been touting this girl for years- and I know this for a fact.
She is an amazing talent as do VERY many singers in the Philippines.
Remember, that fleeting fame of a girl called Charise? And where the fuck is she now?
She performed in Hong Kong recently and few cared and even less went to see her. She is a has-been before being a never-been.
Where are all those who once fawned over her- Oprah, Ellen, David Foster, the Producers of “Glee”?
She is finished.
As for Jessica Sanchez, she won’t win “Idol” but she probably already has a recording contract- whatever that means.
The song she sang on “Idol” before her “save” was a gawdawful choice for a TELEVISION talent show- and MAYBE this song choice has something to do with her low votes.
But I doubt it: When “Mr. Deandre”, the hair-dresser with the dreads was not “saved”, there was this very strong telepathic message running though my brain that the “save” was being, well, saved, for someone else.
So, was Jessica Sanchez being “saved” and the judges showing disgust at the results etc and all the “love” onstage after the “save” ring true for me?
Of course not. It was baaad showbiz shuck and jive.
It was orchestrated, it was pimped and it was the death knell for “Idol.”
It was a disgusting and an embarrassing sham, scam and con.
And for all those who thought up this “master plan” to create “shock value”, here’s my answer.
Who’ll be the winner? Who cares?
I’m betting it will be some white guy who listens to that God person.
As I have said before, fuck, “American Idol.”
This show is all about finding the next “Christian Idol.”
And as a Christian, I find it all sacrilegious and as hokey as television evangelists.
Praise The Lord ‘cos this show, this piece of crap is damned forever for what it did to dupe so many last night.
