It was very interesting to hear David Hernandez's "exit interview" on Idol Extra last night. He talked about choosing "Let It Be" and not getting it because "someone else" wanted it (Brooke, one of the golden children for some reason I still can't figure out), and they "drew out of a hat" and he didn't get it (gee what a surprise - he didn't say exactly how the hat draw worked - I still think it was rigged) and he said the song he sang was the "one I got stuck with". He said it pretty quickly in the context of the sentence and didn't dwell on it or sound bitter about it, and did a nice interview though.

Also, Amanda said the same thing. She picked a song someone else wanted (and go figure, the other person got their first choice), and she was told to sing her song, that bluesy song that no one, even the die-hard Beatles fans, can remember, but it just suited Amanda.

Very little "reality" in this reality show. I think so much of it is scripted, it's more like the singers are just actors, kind of like "The Monkees" back in the day.

Well thats crap, kinda like the purple stone in Survivor all based on luck. Yeah David got screwed in that deal, which probably could have been avoided if they had more songs to pick from, therefore less chance for people to pick the same songs. Besides since when could they could not sing the same song on the same night, its happened before and they know the risks. But that just goes to show that AI is a reality show first and foremost and not about the contestants or talent.
