The results are in and we have our new Top 5 for American Idol 2013. It’s a shocking turn of events that few could have predicted when Season 12 debuted back in January, but careful planning and calculated moves by production succeeded in eliminating all male contenders, insuring a girl winner for the first time since 2007.
We heard it over and over from production and the judges, this would be the year of the girl. They were right.
So now it’s just a matter of time until the American Idol season 12 finale in mid-May where either Angie, Candice, Janelle, Kree, or Amber will become the next American Idol winner.
Branden has made his latest predictions for who will be the Top 3 and who will win it all. This is definitely going to be a close race and we can’t wait to see how it turns out.
Let’s give the girls some credit here. The girls were strong from the beginning. I don’t agree with the order that the guys were eliminated, but even so the girls were so strong it was bound to come out this way. Yeah, the producers always have their fingers in the pie, but all five of these girls are deserving. Let them have their time in the spotlight.
I never said the girls weren’t very talented. They are. But production did everything they could to pick cannon fodder to fill in for the guys to give the girls every boost possible.
Lazaro was definitely cannon fodder. If he sang the Carpenters’ standard (Close to you) during audition, he would not have received a gold ticket. i predict that Lazaro will disappear post AI Tour. Remember, Colton Dixon and Jennifer Hudson were both Top 7 eliminations for their seasons. And Lazaro has pretty much destroyed his standing in the music industry.
But, I do see great things for these women. But then again, I thought the same thing about Joshua Ledet and Skylar Laine from last season. Whereas P2, Jessica Sanchez, and Colton Dixon have gone on to do a lot in music, Joshua and Skylar are stil MIA.
Still a bit early to be counting out Joshua and Sklar. Anyway Lazaro was cannon fodder and yet look how close he came to being a force, 3rd the week before, and not even able to sing in tune, or remember lyrics. Still wonder why they haven’t considered having a male and female winner. Takes a bit of glow off the winner, but gets rid of a lot of the controversy which seems to have driven a lot of viewers away. Mind you changing the voting methods would probably help a lot as well but they seem to take number of votes more important than overall ratings on this show.
I dont think Lazaro was necessarily the one to blame for his situation. Maybe he realized he didnt belong in the top 10, but with all those people voting for him what choice did he have but to do his best and accept the criticism. He sure didnt vote himself through. He handled some pretty harsh comments with grace and dignity. He could still have a nice career with some more vocal training and the right mentoring. He just wasnt quite ready for the competition on American Idol.
BTW Lazaro was on the Tonight Show on Friday and sang with the band. He had a music stand next to him and I noticed he kept glancing over at what must have been the lyrics to the song. He did a great job.
TOP 3 should definitely be Angie Kree and Candice. it could be either of them but I am an Angie fan since Hollywood week.
100% yes
1) Kree
2) Candice
3) Janelle
4) Angie
5) Amber
Just for fun… i think Kree Harrison will win this season because of the Kristy Lee Cook curse LOL… but I am all after Candice…
i bet candice will be voted off next week…..
Ah! What! Janelle is a goner. Candice is the next American Idol
Top 3 will be Candice, Kree and Amber
I think it is great that there are no boys in the top 5 then it can be decided who is the best female singer.Personally on the judging Mariah Carey should be there for ever more and I am in love with he beautiful big twins what a fabulous pair of knockers,Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!
