Didi Benami became the third girl in a row to get voted off of “American Idol.”Wasn’t this supposed to be the year of the girls on “American Idol”?
So far, not so much. Didi Benami became the third in a row voted off, finishing in 10th place. Unlike Lacey Brown and Paige Miles, who went before her, she’ll get to sing in the “Idol” summer tour, and if she can channel the vocals she brought to her version of “Rhiannon” on Wednesday, we may not have heard the last of her.
Sadly, however, Tuesday’s theme was R&B and soul rather than Fleetwood Mac songs, and she hadn’t done enough to justify using the judges’ save on her. You could tell Simon Cowell and company were thinking, “Why, why, WHY couldn’t you have done this last night and allowed us to send Tim Urban home instead?” But she didn’t, so out she goes. Maybe her voice is just made for a recording studio, and not a competition like this one.
