fracas

Tuesday February 19th was the first show in the new season where the audience has a say. The top 12 men guys performed (sorry, but with several of the contestants being only 17 and 18 years of age, it’s hard to call them men without a bit of a chuckle) but because tonight is the night for the gals, we won’t know until Thursday, who doesn’t make the cut.

Fracas has a sneaky feeling it will be none other than the lads pictured here, photos graciously borrowed from the American Idol site. The first photo you see is none other than Luke Menard. It’s not that he doesn’t have a nice voice, it’s that his style is reminiscent of Glen Campbell. I’d be proud of him were he someone in my personal life or family, but it’s doubtful that anyone is looking for that in a recording artist right now. Had he chosen his first song differently, it might not be his only one. I will be fraccily surprised if he remains.

The other bloke who fracas suspects will be living out Chris Daughtry’s “Going Home”, is Garrett Haley. Garrett’s performance was, as Simon likes to say… forgetable. His own interview revealed that he’s not performed much and his inexperience showed. When you’ve inexperience dogging you, you’d better be damn good, and frankly, he’s just not. His favorite quote is  ”Go big or go home.” Being only 17, perhaps he’ll be one of those contestants who goes home, works on it, and returns in another year to knock everyone’s socks off, but this year… since he didn’t “go big” he really should be going home.  Prophetic words from a teen.

And that folks, is the fraccy predictions for tonight. Gypsy Fra-Kitty plans on posting her predictions too, but in Gypsy Fra-Kitty style, her predictions will come out on Thursday… following the elimination show.
