Idol Finals Soon

"American Idol" held its first finalist elimination Wednesday night, and the bottom three singers were really no surprise. Or were they?
If you'd just watched Tuesday's performance show and then shut yourself in a lead-sealed capsule until the elimination was announced, you wouldn't be shocked at all that Sanjaya Malakar, Phil Stacey, and Brandon Rogers were the three lowest vote-getters. They just didn't sound that great. The six men in the contest have been almost universally decried as being much less talented than the women, so it's no surprise that half the men ended up in the bottom three."
