Tatiana del Toro, that Hot Mess of a Drama Queen, is Back

Everybody Run and Hide; a Look Back to American Idol, March 4, 2009

Michelle K. Miller
As I do every Tuesday and Wednesday (and sometimes Thursday) night, my butt was planted on the sofa, and my eyes were glued on the television, as American Idol came on. I was particularly interested in the night's show, because the final group sang, that would fill out the nine that were chosen from America's votes. This was also the night that it would be announced who would be battling it out for the final three spots in the top 12, via the wild card round.

For the most part, I was pleased. Although my boy, Nathaniel, didn't make it, two out of three people I'd voted for the night before got in -- Lil Rounds and Scott MacIntyre. That doesn't go to say that I was upset that Jorge made it in. He did an incredible job. I just grew to love Nathaniel.

Then came the most thrilling part of the evening-- the announcement of the eight that would be in the wild card show. I agreed with a few of the choices, such as Ricky Braddy, Megan, and Anoop. However, the one thing I never wanted to see, happened. They chose Tatiana to be in the wild card. Oh dear god, have mercy on the souls of Randy, Kara, Paula, and Simon. I sat there, yelling "NO! NO! OH MY GOD! NO!" at the television over and over again.

Really, judges... really? Was this necessary? If you've been following Idol, I think some of you--scratch--most of you probably share the same opinion of Tatiana. If she doesn't screw up badly tonight and the judges don't kick her off, this could mean another week (I only say one, because no one can stand her) of Tatiana's tears, fake sincerity, and self-centeredness. Out of all the judges that voted her in, I am willing to venture Simon wasn't one of them. He's smarter than he looks. But really... Tatiana? Wow. Horrible choice.

We all know who's going to win the whole competition-- Danny Gokey. However tonight, I think I want Ricky, Megan (maybe Matt,) and Annop to be the ones to fill out the top 12. Let the games begin!

    @Tony: ROFL! Funny comment!
    @Ron: I agree... she could sing pretty well, but I don't think she would have made it far with the attitude. I think the American Idol winner needs to be someone likeable... and she was not.

    She was hard to take, but she was one of the better singers,but hey!!! who said it was a singing contest !!!

    Hahaha I adore how everyone is at a consensus on this one. I am so stoked that she's gone. I had to endure fakeness form by brother's ex-girlfriend for 5 years... I don't think I need to see it week after week on TV. What were the judges thinking putting her back in the running? Like I said, I would venture to say only 3/4 of the judges did so.

    I cannot STAND that chick! Thank GOD she is gone. I just love how 'all the sudden' she has an accent and "thinks in spanish when she gets too excited'?? WHAT?? She saw all the attention Jorge got when he was having trouble translating his emotions into english and thought -Hey! I can fake an accent too! Ummm, yeah, Bye Bye.

    I couldn't have said it better myself!

    ROFL! I know! I said the same thing! Too bad for her... Jorge pulled it off. She did not. Back to acting in her community theatre. Ha!

    I totally agree..she is nuts!I really think she has a problem and needs counceling and medication..LOL, when she started talking I was like?What? And then when she walked over to the judges after I was like oh dear lord....

    Funny how she suddenly developed a Spanish accent after hearing the compliments Jorge received. I was literally LMAO! Thankfully, she didn't make it through!
