Scott MacIntyre became the sixth finalist eliminated on “American Idol” Wednesday on a night that brought out a level of emotion rarely seen from the judges’ stand.
MacIntyre, the first blind finalist in the show’s eight seasons, was an inspiration to many. Unfortunately for him, he couldn’t come up with performances to match his backstory. In a field where nobody is making big mistakes, it’s the smaller issue of bland song selection that did him in. But it appeared to be with genuine regret that the judges sent him on his way.
Blown Save: MacIntyre closed the show with a performance of “The Search is Over” that would likely have saved him had it occurred on Tuesday. “How can I convince you that what you see is real?” the lyrics asked, and the vocals were almost good enough to do exactly that. It earned him a standing ovation, and a long send-off speech from Paula calling him an inspiration to the world. Unfortunately for him, since the judges couldn’t agree after much discussion whether to save him or not, the “Idol” search is the one that ended for him.
Anoop escapes again: It’s getting to be a weekly occurrence for Anoop Desai to be left sweating until the show's final seconds. The 13th and last finalist selected, he’s been among the lowest vote-getters three times this season, and somehow always manages to escape elimination. This week, it was 30,000 votes that kept him just ahead of Scott in the race to stick around. No word on whether MacIntyre will take on the role of a politician and demand a recount.
