I've literally waited six days to write anything on The Top 4 Results show so there's no reason to stop my halfhearted treatment of it. There was no real surprise. Marcus Canty finally went home and now we're going to find out who the public really wanted all this time. As for who I think should win it all, I'll just continue my lazy streak and defer to Yahoo!'s Lyndsey Parker instead of actually having to write anything myself before they perform tonight. At this point, why bother, right?
I will editorialize later about tonight's performance finale but I do agree with Parker's assertion that Josh Krajcik deserves the unprecedented $5 million prize. It was equally interesting watching his mentor Nicole Scherzinger perform live on the show although the idea of her not wanting to be pretty anymore is beyond laughable on so many levels. She did probably help herself out however by performing on the show, reminding everyone that she is in fact still a performer in her own right.
I must say I really enjoyed Florence and The Machine's performance. They are fast becoming one of my favorite new artists of the past several years. Florence Welch has everything going for her that the remaining three contestants are all vying for; talent, charisma, and crazy good music to perform. I'll leave the Top 4 Results recap at that since there was really nothing else noteworthy going on. I never bought Josh Krajcik being in any real danger. That was definitely the producers causing trouble and it was the only hint of "suspense" they could really conjure up but they weren't really fooling anyone.
This should make for one of the closest results in the history of these singing competitions but truth be told, nothing would really surprise me. I'm already expecting anything to happen so I'll be back later with my recap of the Top 3 performances. The order will be Josh, Chris, and Melanie and it all starts at 8:00.
