Asian-American Idol Watch: AJ Talbado eliminated

Posted on March 2, 2007 by Ernie

asian_idol_watch_2.jpgTonight 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.)

Thanks for rating this! Now tell the world how you feel - .
(Nah, it's cool; just take me back.)
