American Idol of April 5, 2006: Goodbye Mandiva

The results show has been over for more than an hour now, and I have to echo what Kenny Rogers said: I was heartbroken by the results this week.

I was sure that based on their performances this week either Taylor (who really didn't sound comfortable in the country genre) or Ace (I'm starting to dislike his nasal performances) would be gone. Instead it was Mandisa, who I saw as a front-runner!

Next week I'm both looking forward to and dreading. I'm a huge fan of Queen, but the group also has a very defining sound. I don't see any of the current singers able to really do justice to Freddie Mercury's performance.
