American Idol Update

Last week's episode of American Idol called for something unique for our 8 finalists. Each contestant would perform a song from the year they were born. Most of the songs came from the late 80's, to a standing ovation from the crowd. Some have made the grade, while others took the fall. The bottom three that night were revealed to be Anoop Desai, Scott MacIntyre, and Lil Rounds. Out of the 8 contestants that night, these three were the most disappointing during the performace. Unfortunately, Scott MacIntyre received the lowest number of votes and was not saved by the judges.
Scott Douglas MacIntyre {born June 22, 1985 in Scottsdale, Arizona} is an American singer, sognwriter, and pianist. MacIntyre is visually impaired, and while not completely blind, he suffers from tunnel vision and has only a two-percent field of vision, both due to Leber's congenital amaurosis.
It is later revealed that Scott produced his first CD when he was eleven, and he has recorded five more CDs since then. In 2000, at the age of fifteen, he made his orchestral debut as he performed with the Phoenix Symphony as a guest piano soloist. In 2002 he competed in, and won, the Butterfield Young Artist Competition at ASU. In 2008, Scott won the VSA Arts 2008 Young Soloists Award. He recently has been accepted to both Oxford and Cambridge University for further graduate-level education.
Scott MacIntyre auditioned for the eighth season of American Idol in Phoenix, Arizona. As of this year, MacIntyre is the first visually-impaired finalist on the show to get to Hollywood. Scott MacIntyre was eliminated on April 8, 2009 becoming the eighth place finalist of American Idol. We give him our best wishes in the music industry. He may not have won this year; however, big things are happening for him.
This week, our seven remaining finalists have a big task ahead. The two contestants who should really be prepared are Anoop Desai & Lil Rounds. Anoop Desai has been in the bottom 3 2xs in a row. He has been in the bottom 2 TWICE in 2 weeks. If Anoop doesn't improve this week, he's only one step close from being eliminated. Last week marked the first time Lil Rounds has been in the bottom 3. The fans are letting her know what they really thought of her performance. She really needs to step up on her game & find a song that will work to her advantage. Becuase she's not exactly the best singer out of Jennifer Hudson & Fantasia.
Until tonight's episode, all I can say is: break a leg!
