Bad call on 'Idol'

Hi Jennifer:

I have to say that giving Allison Iraheta the boot last night was a bad call by the 'Idol' voters. She is the only singer who can stay (almost) note for note with Adam Lambert. She also has a stage presence far above Kris Allen and Danny Gokey and at least equal to Adam. Danny and Kris look so awkward and clumsy on stage that I get the heebie jeebies just watching them try and be comfortable. Yuck!

But this is the beauty of reality TV. It's more then just singing talent and when you tally up 64 million votes in one night anything can happen. I am also disappointed that Allison just couldn't establish a strong fan base and I think its because she's only 17 and doesn't express herself that well. It's too bad because she will be on stage somewhere long before Allen and Gokey who I believe, to quote Simon Cowel, are pretty "forgettable."

Also, the pairing Danny Gokey and Kris Allen in a 'duets' contest was almost sinful. Two guys with zero stage presence singing together is not a good thing and when Adam and Allison sang together it was fantastic and natural. I don't know how they decided who would sing together but it was bad for Danny and Kris. So I thought.

Which reminds me, since Allison did such a great job in her duets song how did she get voted off? Are the Idol voters awkward as well as tone deaf because this gal can sing circles around Danny and Kris. By the way, that scream at the end of "Dream On" was obnoxious to say the least.

Right now its a one horse race with Adam Lambert far out in front and the other two are fighting for a distant second.
