Statistically, Siobhan Magnus lost last night’s American Idol. But remember that it was Shania Twain week.
So, in a way, everybody lost. Especially you. Shania Twain week was a spectacularly bad move, even by American Idol‘s standards. Not only was it the first episode of the season that could only really be enjoyed by mulleted truckers in Three Wolf Night T-shirts and elasticated waistbands, but it was also the first episode where there was a very real sense that Man! I Feel Like A Woman could leap out and ambush you at any point. Our lives are stressful enough without having to live in that sort of fear.
And last night Siobhan Magnus was voted off American Idol. Although to put things into perspective, she was voted off American Idol because she couldn’t make a Shania Twain song sound particularly listenable. There are worse things to be eliminated for.
