American Idol Afternoon Dose

From Bossman (and Idol-freak and David Archuleta supporter) Jim Fraenkel:

Cry-baby Ramielle Malubay and website Vote For The Worst are both in mourning today following the expulsion last night of the heir-apparent to Sanjaya’s silver stool. Danny Noriega had the vocal chops but they were more often than not eclipsed by his eccentricities. Was he too flamboyant for the public’s tastes? Or just too bratty? Even before that smarmy viral video leaked earlier this week, we suspected that he was a real handful behind the scenes. Perhaps Simon was doing the producers’ bidding with his claws-out critiques? After all, what Simon says, America usually does.

The end of Noriega’s journey capped off another water cooler week of “American Idol.” And lucky for you, our very own Jim Cantiello boiled down all 10,800 seconds of it into 60.
