American Idol Top 11; Miley Cyrus Mentors!

Top 11 week was clouded with mysteries. The most important being where did all the talent go?! Seriously, is this the bunch that has to compete as the next-big thing in the entertainment industry. Season 9 is turning out to be a huge disappointment and I'm really sad at that. At such a crucial night when the people making it to the American Idol LIVE! Summer Tour were supposed to be decided, majority of the contestants delivered lackluster performances that show cased absolutely nothing. The only two managed who managed to save themselves some dignity were Cyrstal Bowersox and Aaron Kelly. Otherwise everyone fell flat on their pretty faces.

Last week they announced the theme as Teen Idol with a mystery mentor. There were speculations of Taylor Swift or Miley Cyrus taking the stage. The odds were stacked equally on both sides due to Swift's recent Grammy shower and Cyrus's soon-to-be-released movie; The Last Song. A few days later Team Cyrus won the war much to my disappointment. Firstly because she's older than only two of the contestants present and she doens't have that much experience.

Her advice did work in the areas of making a mark, but artistically speaking she couldn't offer much. Truly speaking, it isn't her fault. She still has much to learn. Paige Miles was eliminated, along with Tim Urban and Katie Stevens in the Bottom 3. The thing that is the real issue here is Tim Urban, scrapping just enough votes to be one slot above Paige. If this keeps going on, Tim just might go further and eliminate some of the contestants than have more potential talent. And no offense to the Urban clan, but that is really going to suck.

Next week the Top 11 tackle R&B palette, with Usher mentoring. I'm interested in seeing how Crystal and Casey perform, because these two are treading a most unfriendly turf with this genre.

Till next week, guys!!!
