The skill level of singing (some might say screeching, croaking, screaming, whispering, gasping) has really declined. These candidates would have been sent home in years past, because the quality and talent was really, really good. American Idol will go out as a pale imitation of what it once portrayed.
So long Mac....happy trails to you!
Who should exit next and who should win! That really depends on whether the voting is honest and who is voting! From a monetary standpoint, Idol management want a return on their expenditures. They would probably make the most money on Dalton, since he is a stage bunny and could be groomed into putting on reasonably good road shows and concerts. The shows would generate some disc sales, but nothing outstanding.
Trent won't generate anything is disc sales, IMO. Ditto concerts.
LaPorker could generate sales by cutting discs geared to gospel, blues, jazz, soul and stage. She could do Broadway. Do I hear a ka-ching in the background?
So long Idol.....thanks for the memories!
