Phew. That was close.
Due to a collective, nationwide brain fart, Michael Lynche found himself in the bottom three last night on American Idol. Once Aaron Kelly was deemed safe, Lynche then found himself in the bottom two alongside Andrew Garcia – and then the bottom one!
Granted, Big Mike’s rendition of “Eleanor Rigby” on Tuesday was overblown and far from his best. But, unlike viewers around the country, the judges were willing to give Lynche another shot: they unanimously voted to save him from elimination.
Think they made the right call?
The excitement, and flamboyance, on American Idol will be ratcheted up next week: Adam Lambert will mentor the contestants.
Regarding anyone’s fears, Adam Tweeted this week: “Don’t worry America: I will be beyond family friendly. Relax and enjoy. For Your Entertainment.”
