Idol Chatter 2-29-08: Week 2 Results
How did the FOX43 Idol Experts do on their Week 2 predictions?
Off the top, an apology to our dear, sweet, attractive and spunky Idol Expert, Julie. Somehow, her predictions for Ladies' Night were not properly posted, and the Wednesday show post went live with her predictions from Guys' Night, instead.
This was CLEARLY an error, and we'll blame Clyde for that.
Our apologies to Ms. Heart for the mix-up, and the necessary corrections have been made. Check it out before reading these results if you want to see her predictions before you find out whether she was right or wrong.
So...let's get to it!
4 had to go home...but few potential shockers were in that unlucky group! Who was sent packing?
4 contestants (Jason Yeager, Alexandrea Lushington, Alaina Whitaker, and Robbie Carrico) went home, and our Idol Experts made their calls before Thursday's Week 2 Results Show.
How did they do?
Artie Funk
Artie picked Amanda Overmyer, Alaina Whitaker, Jason Yeager and Luke Menard to go home this week. Well, he was a bit off, as America threw a few curveballs with this week's voting.
That's 2 out of 4, which is .500, but what does Mr. Funk have to say about the results?
Funk: 2 for 4 this week, huh? HIGHLY disappointed in you, America! SHAME ON YOU, America! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Alexandrea was not supposed to go home this week AT ALL. I thought she had REAL potential, but...America forced her to struggle for her OWN contract, now. I thought it was really funny and sad when Alaina sobbed, "I CAN'T SING!" It was cute, and she did a good job, considering! I'm glad Skunkhead's gone, and the faux-rocker...can't say I'm sad to see him go, at all. I was more okay with the male choices than the ladies choices. I noticed that Amanda Overmyer's not a "hugger." When the rest of the group is hugging, she's kind of off on the fringe...
Julie Heart
Julie chose Amanda Overmyer, Alaina Whitaker, Jason Yeager and Danny Norriega. That puts her squarely in the middle...
...2 out of 4!
Heart: Jason leaving was no big surprise, even to him! I actually liked his singing better when he was upset, rather than with the big, goofy smile he flashed Tuesday night. I would have thought Idol would have made sure his son was there to fully cash in on the emotion. Alexandrea, on the other hand, was a big surprise! Especially next to Amanda, who I thought for sure would be out. Overmyer was horrible AGAIN in the Results Show intro song, by the way. It was sweet that Alexandrea hugged David at the end...they know each other from a Starsearch when they were kids. Alaina went home...didn't Simon call her the "dark horse" of the girls, this year? The Battle of the Blondes in the bottom spot didn't work out for Alaina! It was a REAL moment of breakdown, trying to make her sing her final song...but she got through a song about CRYING on the way out, so...aww! And holy COW! Robbie out and Luke IN?! I never would have thought that! I mean, I thought Luke's looks might float him through a nother week, but...not at the expense of Robbie! Man, definitely some emotional and shocking moments, this time!
Clyde Collins
Clyde chose Amanda Overmyer, Alaina Whitaker, Jason Yeager and Luke Menard to leave, this week. Well...2 of them didn't!
2 out of 4 for Clyde, once again. Here was his reaction:
Collins: America, you're absolutely mentally challenged if you think keeping Amanda Overmyer in this competition is a good idea. Pathetic, completely wrong and careless. I mean...sure, I've been saying Alexandrea's going to be sent home before long, anyway. So, I'm not that upset over losing her. I think Robbie Carrico was a phony, as well, so...no loss, there. But, based on ACTUAL PERFORMANCE...Amanda should've left, and Luke Menard is still a completely vanilla waste of airtime. They. Will. Go. Soon. Days are numbered. Oh, and Jason Yeager's been lousy since we first heard him. Good riddance, Skunkboy.
There it is! Straight from the FOX43 Idol Experts' lips!
