American Idol Says Buh-Bye to Haley Scarnato
Although I don't think she would have made it to the Final Four, or won, I was sorry to see Haley Scarnato get booted off American Idol last night. Sanjaya Malakar definitely should have gone before her. Hell, he should have gone before Sabrina and Stephanie too!
While I think Simon is usually spot-on with his critiques, I wish he would have given her more constructive criticism on her voice, and less about her legs, shorts or lack of clothing. Today, she told TVGuide.com that though she shrugged them off on stage, Simon's quips about her flesh-flashing definitely nagged at her. "Yeah, they hurt a little bit. They always say, 'This is a singing competition,' yadda-yadda-yadda, so I'm like, 'OK, this is a singing competition.... '" But as all she heard about was her look, "You just brush it off and do the best you can do."
Later in a press-conference call, Haley denied that she was using her sexuality when performing and dressing for "Turn the Beat Around" this week, saying, "The style of the song was about in-your-face rhythm, it was funky and Latin, and it has a sexy vibe, and that’s what I was going for. When it's time to sing, it's time to sing. I was just enjoying my moment."
