Latest casualty

SPOILER ALERT!

From AP:

Gina Glocksen, who had her share of good and bad American Idol moments, kissed the show goodbye Wednesday, becoming the latest casualty in viewer voting.

The exit of Glocksen, 22, of Naperville, Ill., trimmed the number of finalists to eight. The winner will be chosen in May.

Judge Randy Jackson had said on Tuesday's program that Glocksen -- the show's resident rocker girl, with her red highlights and all-black outfits -- gave a ''nice, controlled performance'' of the classic song ''Smile.''


His colleague Simon Cowell, who has griped that Glocksen was not in the same league as other finalists, sported a frown.

Haley Scarnato and Phil Stacey had the next-lowest vote tallies in the phone balloting.
See, this is how the show works. Middling contestants will all go before the really cruddy ones. You'll probably also lose a Lakisha or Melinda before they get rid of Phil or Sanjaya. More reason to not care.
