4 SINGERS FALL, SIMON GETS APOLOGY AND SHOW STARTS $10,000 CONTEST
The first results show of Season 6 reminded us that American Idol is on the same network with 24 for a reason. Both shows specialize in torture. But Jack Bauer's never stooped to telling someone they're going home for butchering a song and then -- in my wife's words -- telling them, "You did such a horrible job the first time, let's just sing it again." All 90 seconds of it.
-- Say goodbye to: Amy Krebs, Nicole Tranquillo, Rudy Cardenas and Paul Kim.
-- Pucker up: Chris Sligh said he was afraid people thought he was really taking a shot at Simon on Tuesday night and insisted, "America, I love Simon." I'll bet you do.
-- Now it's cool: Remember when Kelly Clarkson wouldn't thank Idol for launching her toward a Grammy? Evidently the show is no longer a threat to credibility. Planned guests include Diana Ross, Jon Bon Jovi, Jennifer Lopez, Gwen Stefani and Martina McBride.
-- Trouble in paradise? When Tranquillo went to sing her finale, LaKisha Jones tried to lead the girls out on the stage for support. They didn't go.
-- Predictable: DialIdol.com called it on three of the four who were bounced. Tranquillo was the surprise, especially considering that Alaina Alexander got a score of 0.
-- Dead presidents: The folks who put on Idol also line their litter box with big bills. As if it needed more fans, the show began giving away $10,000 a week in a text messaging contest.
