American Idol Forget Lyrics and Gets the Boot

Well, I dislike the fact that I keep coming back to American Idol, but since this is the world's biggest showcase for music and lyrics, I guess it's unavoidable. If Diana Ross is known for singing songs with unforgettable lyrics, you wouldn't know it by Tuesday evenings' performances.

Three contestants on American Idol forgot the lyrics that night to some of Diana's best loved songs. Brandon Rogers started off the evening before a larger audience in a much bigger theatre. Apparently, nerves got the best of him as in the middle of the song he paused, having forgotten the lyrics to "You Can't Hurry Love". Because of his gaff, Rogers was hurried off from public view as the first American Idol of the final 12 to get the boot.

Rogers wasn't the only American Idol however to flub the lyrics as both Stephanie Edwards and Haley Scarnato did so as well. But, the women committed their lyrical sins in a little less obvious manner than Rogers did and were safe for one more week. Remembering one's lyrics is essential for surviving the cuts at American Idol as Sanjaya Malakar proved by staying around another week, when he has been expected to leave for several weeks now.
