American Idol - Final Four



David taped American Idol and wrote about the performances of the final four contestants: Carrie, Bo, Vonzell, and Anthony.

American Idol - Final Four

Let's see, American Idol is looking for a pop star, and the top two contestants (arguably Bo and Carrie) don't even really sing pop. It's ironic that the judges keep telling them to be true to themselves when all that's going to happen is that they'll be pushed towards the mainstream audience of Top 40 and Billboard and given an image. They'll have songwriters, musicians, stylists, and sent on American Idol tours with the likes of Fantasia et al. I wonder if any of them have had second thoughts about trying to win this competition, especially after Mario Vasquez bailed.
