American Idol 2011-Thia Megia Should've Been Sent Home Not Karen Rodriguez

Karen Rodriguez Vs Thia Megia

Olga L. Chacon
I'm not going to waste your time rambling about everything that happened on American Idol this week from beginning to end. I'll go straight to the point. As we all know Karen Rodriguez was sent home even after performing, "Hero," by Mariah Carey one last time for the judges, Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson. In my opinion, Thia Megia should've been sent home not Karen Rodriguez. These are the reasons why:

Karen Rodriguez

Karen Rodriguez didn't perform quite well last week, but this week I liked her performance, "Love Will Lead You Back" by Taylor Dayne. Karen's performance was much better than last week's. She seemed to be coming back. Even Randy Jackson said, "Definitely better than last week. Welcome back." Karen Rodriguez sings in Spanish, which that makes her unique. She's proud of her roots. At least, she was making an effort to stay in the competition. I could tell she was.

Thia Megia

Thia Megia has performed nothing but boring songs. Even Randy Jackson said that Thia's performances had been boring to him. And I totally agree with Randy. Yeah, Yeah, so she has a beautiful voice. But all that Thia Megia has been doing for the past few weeks is stand on stage, and perform the same old type of songs, "ballads." This week, Thia Megia performed, "Colors of the Wind" by Vanessa Williams. Another ballad...shocker!

It almost seems that Thia is not even trying to be in this competition. She's playing it way too safe if you ask me. Too safe = boring. American Idol is not only about having a beautiful voice and looking pretty. American Idol is also about being creative, artistic, and unique. For example, performing different genres, or simply changing it a little, playing an instrument. Thia, this is a competition for God's sake!

    I totally agree with the post. Thia is a boring performer

  • Zairo3/19/2011

    Karen was sent home because she is not good enough. And stop picking on other contestants Thia is not even on the bottom 3. Can you watch Karen's performances again, really Hero? love will lead you back? Please those are way big songs for her voice, she is pitchy all over its a hot mess she deserves to go home.

  • The Clueless3/19/2011

    Those that are clueless will find it surprising that Karen was voted off, but if they've only done some online browsing they won't be surprise cuz Karen's always in the basement that it's almost inevitable...IT IS CLEARLY COMING HER WAY!!
    so stop blaming the other contestants!!! GROW UP!!!

  • Karen s in the bottom 3 2x3/19/2011

    So what's the deal!?! Why pick on Thia?!? Naima's out of tune all thru out her song and Paul cracked his voice! Karen has move on already and had accepted her fate gracefully so you, dear Olga, should also move on!!!

  • Martin Kloess3/19/2011

    good work

  • ThiaFan3/18/2011

    I also want to point out that while every blog sites out there are focusing on the Bottom 3 namely naima, haley, and karen as to who should have been sent home, This blogger of Hispanic Descent tries to inject her racial opinion on somebody who did not even had a chance yet to be at the Bottom of the pile.

    you are probably deaf. Karen is pitchy all over. Try to listen to her Love Will Lead you Back song and you'll notice that her timing sucks. She deserves to go home.
