There's Just No Justice... Was there a Conspiracy behind Mandiva's Elimination?

Oh my God!... I was stumped when the elimination results were anounced on American Idol last night. It was a country-theme week; I thought Katherine McPhee excelled in this one and Bucky Covington gave a very appalling performance. All the others were rather good eventhough this was not an easy category to handle.

The first stinger came when the bottom three were revealed. The group comprising Mandisa, Elliot and Paris was announced to have purportedly received the lowest number of votes. None in this group has ever been in the bottom three, and all three have been consistently good throughout the competition if not outshining everyone else. Logical?... Definitely not! Country music was supposed to be Bucky's forte but his rendition of Vertical Horizon's "Best I Ever Had" was simply pathetic. I was positive that the group comprising Ace Young, Katherine McPhee and Bucky "the back-up singer" Covington would be the bottom three. Hell was I wrong.

The bummer to end the night: MANDIVA's elimination. Frankly speaking, she did a decent cover of Shania Twain's "Any Man of Mine" and does not deserve to be eliminated at this point of the competition; at least not when Bucky is still around. I have always agreed with Simon Cowell that Bucky is just okay and he will be nothing more than just a back-up singer. Mandisa on the other hand, nicknamed Mandiva because of her powerful vocals and superior performances, was outstanding every week. Eventhough, Chris Daughtry is my favourite to win this competition... I thought Mandiva deserved to be in the Final 3.

If you think this scenario sounds all too familiar, you bet! It has happened before in the third season when Latoya London was prematurely eliminated though she was predicted to be in the Final 3.

Simon Cowell was quoted to have named his Final 3 predictions for this season, namely Chris Daughtry, Taylor Hicks and Kellie Pickler. Sounds like he's got insights from someone or something that must be brewing within the Fox organization that has actually predetermined who will be leaving the competition. I think there's some sort of a conspiracy... just dunno what! But why Mandisa... why? Anyone out there has anything to say, please feel free to comment!
