The Elimination of Paul Jolley

I want to start this week’s blog off by saying, I totally agree with Jimmy. It’s very clear of what was going on last night with the contestants. It was an off week for some of the favorites, and Jimmy got a lot of backlash and the blame for it. Jimmy got blamed for the contestant’s mistakes, when his job is only to direct the contestants with their song choices of the ‘Weeks Theme’. Jimmy’s job is not to select the songs for the contestants nor steer the songs for them, that’s all up to them. The judges must realize this issue, and put a stop to blaming Jimmy for the contestant’s mistakes, favorite contestants or not.

The performance from Jessica Sanchez tonight was such a shocker to me. I had NO IDEA that she’s been doing a little modeling, and was all over billboards. She’s definitely evolved a lot since the last time I’ve seen her. She’s became a sex symbol in a VERY GOOD way, kudos to Jessica for making such a huge transition. I wish nothing but the best to her and career.

Tonight the bottom 3 contestants contain Paul Jolley, Devin Velez, and Amber Holcomb.

Lazaro Arbos, the weakest performance of last night. Lazaro obviously had an off night last night, and I’m sure everyone agrees. In spite of that, Lazaro was the first person Ryan announced to be in the Top 8 next week. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve loved Lazaro since his audition, but he definitely deserved to be in the Bottom 3 instead of Amber. And I’m sure I’m not the only person that believes so.

On the contrast of it all, Paul Jolley is the contestant to go home. Honestly, I feel him going home should have happened last week, instead of Curtis. Actually, he should have gone home before the Top 10. Paul is a good singer and all, but he just doesn’t have IT, compared to the others. There’s way better talent on the show, and it’s just time to get to that. At the end of the day, there can only be ONE WINNER, keep that in mind everyone. I wish nothing but the best to Paul, good luck with your career and future endeavors.

See you guys next week.
