This is up to America.
It’s up to the power of love.
And up to faith
and up to talent
and hard work.
I’m so blessed to be here.

She’s one crazy beotch
She was one contestant that was truly lost in being herself.
Surprisingly I felt sorry for Tatiana today. The producers were really mean when they clearly set her up to have a meltdown towards the end. Anyways, not that much of a loss though. Its just that Idol producers could learn to be careful of other feelings once in a while. Drama is not everything, idol is a TALENT show. So stop creating one.
Tati, you will be sorely missed. Guess VFTW did not have that much power after all.
Hope she will now check into some meds for her bipolar disorder.
I have to admit that I felt a little sorry for her too. The previous night the judges kept harping on how disappointed they were that she wasn’t being crazy and wacky and then they milked it out on results night when it was obvious that she wasn’t going through. To basically be told on live tv that they were disappointed that you sang well and didn’t act nutzo instead…. Well, she gave them the breakdown they wanted last night. I hope they don’t bring her back for the wildcard round. Leave the dangerously fragile emotions alone.
Why did they let Paula make the final comment? That just seemed a little weird to me.
Maybe we should ask if this all would have happened on Nigel Lithgoe’s watch? I think the new exec producers played this all terribly wrong.
