The Elimination of Lazaro Arbos



Tonight they split the remaining 6 contestants in pairs of two, meaning one pair is the most voted contestants, and another pair is the least voted contestants. The pair on the far left of the stage contained Angie and Janelle. The pair in the center of the stage contained Lazaro and Amber. The final pair on the far right of the stage contained Kree and Candice.

Kelly Clarkson, the original winner of American Idol. I remember it like it was yesterday, back in 2002. Boy that was a long time ago (laugh out loud), I was 11 years of age on the day she won Idol. I’ve been a fan of hers since her season. I also remember her first single ‘Ms. Independent’, I loved that song. I’ve loved watching her grow as an Artist, from American Idol to “Justin to Kelly” to her many Albums and Grammy’s. Kelly rocks. I hope to see much more come from her career. Keep up the great work Kelly.

Just as I suspected, the top 2 contestants were Kree and Candice, meanwhile the bottom 2 contestants were Lazaro Arbos and Amber Holcomb, causing Angie and Janelle to be safe as well.

FINALLY, Lazaro was the least voted contestant of the week, and the save was not used on him... I liked Lazaro from the start, but his elimination was well over due. Somewhere along the line, as he got further along in the competition it seemed as if his confidence was shot, causing him to fall short practically week after week. And unfortunately, we saw some very talented contestants go before him, when they didn’t deserve to. I believe what attracted people to Lazaro the most was the fact that he had the courage to come on the show with his stuttering issue. He had a marvelous story to tell, he told it and he presented it to us very well. Lazaro was an inspiration to many people, and I’m sure he will continue to be for many years to come. I wish Lazaro nothing but the best. Good luck with your career Lazaro.

In spite of the many disappointments we’ve had this season, the five women that completed the Top 10 has remained on the show to the end. The top five females have dominated the remaining of the season and have kicked all of the male contestants to the curve. For the first time in Idol history, the Top 5 contains nothing but girls. So there you have it, the ‘Male Winning Streak’ of Idol has been broken, because a female is definitely taking home the title of American Idol: Season 12. *round of applause*

See you guys next week.

  1. Lazaro's exit may have been long overdue, but I'm really disgusted the way the Idol judges and Jimmy mocked and embarrassed him. That was uncalled for.

  2. Yeah, I somewhat agree with that. Although, he is an equal individual, just as the other contestants, so he shouldn't get any better treatment than the others just because of whatever reason.
