American Idol has a way of brining out the starts to advertise their music. Last night Marron 5 and Elliott Yamin joined the American Idol crew to try and boost album sales. And once again, I thought it made them less appealing.

First up was Elliott. Now he got third last year and it’s great to see him doing his own thing. The man can sing and sounds great. But that hair has to go. He look much older and I think he’s going to loose a lot of fans since he’s not ‘cute’ anymore. I really really do hate the hair. Please Elliott, go back to the short hair as you looked much much better and younger.

After Elliott came Maroon 5. Now I love the new song but it sounded pretty bad live. It’s amazing the amount of touching up and mastering you can do in the studio. It really was only an OK performance and maybe, if you hadn’t heard the song before, you’d never know. Download it from iTunes and you’ll notice the difference.

Then poor Melinda went home. I’m really sad and again find myself going into the finale not really caring who wins I’ve been a big Blake fan but I think Jordin will win it all. Only one more week though!
