"American Idol" Trims Its Dreads

Well, they got it right tonight on "American Idol," and I don't mean the horrible singing and kindergarten-level dancing during the group version of "Reelin' in the Years." That was the worst thing I've heard on "Idol" in weeks...unless you count Jason's versions of Bob Marley's "I Shot The Sheriff" and Bob Dylan's "Tambourine Man" on Tuesday night's performance show; he managed to forget Dylan's line about the jingle jangle morning. It was awful and he knew it. He laughed during tonight's results show as he related, "Someone said I shot the tambourine man." Great line. And then he got the very-much-expected news that he is going home. Like all ejected contestants, he then sang goodbye via the song that got him ejected, and this time he managed to screw up Marley's words. Buh bye - and none too soon. Next week: Syesha vs. David vs. David.
