- You can tell we’re getting closer to the end when it comes to American Idol. The show is getting crazier each and every week. This week the contestants performed songs from Neil Diamond’s collection, as he came on to work with the final five. Each contestant performed two songs this week, and the judges commented on both. The original plan was to have the judges comment after their second performances, but a Fox executive looks to have changed that asking Ryan to talk to the judges after the first round of songs was complete.
  
  This led to a much talked about moment as Paula Abdul had a moment of confusion where she is talking about Jason Castro singing two songs. He had only performed once. Several excuses have been brought forth since the night the show aired. Everything from Paula having seen rehearsals to her just being confused. Each of the contestants did well this week, but one had to be sent home. This week the show ended for Brooke White. She has been a favorite of mine this season, and it was hard to see her go.
  
  Each and every week I keep asking myself how Jason Castro is still in the competition. He can sing, but his style isn’t my taste. I thought for sure after his performances this week and the judge’s comments, we would see him go home. Once again, he was saved from elimination. I know I’m not the only one asking this question. He has stayed long after some eliminations that people thought would still be there now. With the contestants now left in the competiition, I do agree with Paula Abdul about David Cook. He is my pick for this year’s American Idol. Syesha will make it to Broadway someday soon. David Archuleta is great as well, and I foresee a finale between the two David’s this year.
  
  As for American Idol, the producers are already looking ahead to next season, and they have gone to the fans to ask what they think. Rumor is we might lose the audition round, at least on television. The series might start next year with the Hollywood round, showing the audition process only in flashback. Now this is an idea. I have always thought the month long airing of the auditions was the weakest part of the show. I know we need auditions, but showing them for four weeks is just tedious. Cutting down the amount of auditions shown or getting rid of them altogether on television is an idea. I can see a week or two auditions, but four has always been stretching it in my mind. We’ll have to see what changes are made to American Idol next year.
