Didi Benami was eliminated from American Idol last night, making her the third finalist to leave this season.
The 23-year-old waitress from Knoxville, Tennessee found herself in the bottom three with Tim Urban and Katie Stevens. It was no shocker seeing Didi at the bottom this week after receiving heavy criticism for her rendition of Jimmy Ruffin’s “What Becomes of the Brokenhearted.”
“It was like swimming in jelly,” Simon said of Didi’s Tuesday night performance, adding that it was over-the-top, old-fashioned and off melody.
And though Didi gave a great performance of Fleetwood Mac’s “Rhiannon” last night, the judges did not save her with their Judges’ save. Simon however told her she was “a million times better” than her Tuesday performance.
The question that is now on every one’s minds seems to be why does Tim Urban continue to stay on the show despite receiving harsh criticism from the judges week after week? Well it seems Tim might be this season’s “Sanjaya” as the website votefortheworst.com (which urges America to vote for the worst American Idol contestant every year) has deemed Tim the worst this season, which might explain why he continues to receive plenty of votes.
TELL US – DID DIDI BENAMI DESERVE TO GO HOME LAST NIGHT?
