Eliminations - Week 1

Oh the horror. Brent Keith was eliminated!  I love country music, so when a contestant picks a country song, I get excited. That song did not do him justice! But, he also has (in my opinion) an unfair advantage, being that he's recorded songs for a major motion picture soundtrack (Dale) and had Sessions recorded for CMT. 

I was wondering how this all was going to work with 36 finalists... I can't say that I'm enjoying the new process.  It seems wasteful to get attached to contestants who are very likely to get eliminated. The fact that only 3 make it through each week... wow! Odds are stacked against them. They had to change things to keep it fresh and keep people interested. But, this new system just seems like it's dragging things out. 

Give me the good singers with real potential and few unique contestants to keep it interesting and I'm happy girl. All this BS feels like a waste of my time.  I could honestly care less what the judges think anymore... Simon has got it right 90% of the time. Even if he's harsh - it's the truth. 

Go Danny!!!!
