Scott MacIntyre...OUT!!

I'd like to say a couple of things about American Idol this morning. This is a direct quote from my post yesterday concerning what would happen on the show last night:

"So there you have it. My bottom three...Scott MacIntyre, Anoop Desai, and Lil Rounds, with Scott at the bottom and in that order."

Well the rest of America agreed with me when they voted and Scott MacIntyre, from Scottsdale, AR did go home last night. Also, rounding out the bottom three was Anoop Desai, and Lil Rounds.

I sat here last night watching the show in amazement myself and how it unfolded exactly as I had predicted yesterday. I texted back and forth with my daughter, Jenna Roberts, and had fun with that too. My favorite text of the night to her was, "You're dad is approaching awesome-ness." Of course it was a joke, but it almost appeared that way as I was nailing it right on the head!

Scott MacIntyre on the other hand did NOT nail it right on the head and emotionally stirred the hearts of everyone watching as he was voted off of the show last night. MacIntyre came to the show with a visual impairment, a great sense of humor, and talent to go with it.

Watching him receive the news that he was going home, even after singing again last night to try to save his spot, was definitely a little moving because he was just that likeable. But think of it this way -->he will still be travelling around the country with the Top 13. He will be on an album for that. And being in the Top 8 on this show will most likely give him a shot at making some kind of record deal for himself.

Then there is the fame of being on talk shows and the opportunity for a book deal. This show propels people into what they want if they are good enough. And I believe Scott MacIntyre has enough talent to do something and succeed further with this opportunity. Nice job Scott, sorry to see you go from the show. But like I said, this IS a singing competition, not a talent show, and because of that, the voting was correct and the right person went home last night.

So that's going to be my coverage of American Idol for the week, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. I look forward to covering the Top 7 in the competition next week. Peace!
