Excited
Tonight wasn’t a good night for AJ Talbado, as he was voted off American Idol tonight. The judges called him one of the better singers of the competition (and he was, honestly) but without a lot of early camera time, he had one of the lowest vote-totals of the night. The weird hand flippy thingies he did while he sung didn’t help either. Neither did the fact that another girl sang the exact same Nina Simone song, and she was eliminated tonight as well. Ouch.
The hopes of an Asian-American Idol now rest on Sanjaya Shalikar and his rabid, under-18 female fan base. (Thankfully, he has a HUGE fan base, as he was one of the relatively few contestants that had a safe chance of advancing to the next round, according to DialIdol. He just needs to stop singing weird.)

I missed a couple weeks of American Idol and when I switched it on, i could not believe that out of the 3 Asian American candidates, SANJAYA WAS LEFT. What on earth?! Dude cannot sing!
