Cruel And Unusual Punishment
Why do they make the poor contestants on American Idol sing *after* they’ve been told they’re getting the boot from the show? Isn’t it just plain cruel to make them belt it out after their dreams have been crushed? On Wednesday night, Brooke was told she was gettting the hook. She immediately burst into tears when she received the death blow, so you can imagine what her departing song sounded like. The poor girl could hardly keep it together, not to mention she couldn’t remember the lyrics. I think it’s time for a change. Wouldn’t it be much easier to have the person who receives the most votes sing their heart out?
