I thought it but was lying to myself. ;) I guess he doesn’t have the masses voting for him like the kids.
I have a friend with record industry ties and she said they’d never let him win Idol b/c of his age...starting a career that late at that age nowadays just doesn’t ‘sell’ as well, especially for Idol.
I did think he had potential to be the dark horse into the top 5...it was the DC thing and going first that killed MJ this week I think. Besides, they saw him as their expendable “other favorite” (out of DC/DA/C/B with MJ next up) and a wake-up call but one who’s elimination saved Carly.
