Abysmal
This is my new favorite word, because I like the way Simon says it and uses it to describe nearly everything on American Idol.

And in truth, the results show from last night was abysmal. It was just all wrong in so many ways (I'm not even going to mention the catastrophically bad music video of epic proportions in the grand scheme of horrible things to witness being done to an innocent group of kids). But in one good way we learned yet again that pink-haired people never win. Sorry, Amy Adams. And your mom. Who also has pink hair. I wonder if it runs in the family?

That would be abysmal.

So, not only did Camile not depart the show last night, she did not even make the Bottom Three Bad Awful Singers Group. I just cannot understand this. But the reasons for this problem are three-fold:

1. I mis-spelled 'Camile' in my last post, giving her far too many 'L's in her name. Clearly the power of The Alliance was distracted by not knowing which Camile was targeted (being confused with Camille - two 'L's - from ANTM).

2. The combined strength of Amy's pink hair and her mom's pink hair was too powerfully strong in distracting the power of The Alliance. It was confusing. Amy needed to go, but it wasn't her turn, yet. However, pink-haired people never win, and that was just too much pink hair to let pass to the next round. Next week her boyfriend would surely have had pink hair, too.

3. Camile's weird dance-step-hand-gesture must have been a hypnotic attempt to brainwash America into thinking she is a good singer. Next week we can only hope she sings in a straight jacket, so as not to be able to hypnotize America into voting for her. People, SHE CANNOT SING. She must go. Immediately.

Also not in the Bottom Three was John, who sang so horribly off-key the night before that I actually hoped he would stop singing and just talk his way through the rest of the song. Sure, he's a "sweet kid" and all. I wish him no harm. I just am absolutely sure he should have been in the Bottom Three last night. It should have been a duel between John and Camile, with Camile walking of shame all the way home.

A minor setback. But let's not let it happen again.

That would be abysmal.
