Tatiana Del Toro - American Idol Season 8
With American Idol rounding out the top 12, we can all happily say “goodbye” to the biggest two drama queens the show probably has ever seen (and no, I’m not talking about Paula):
Tatiana and Nathaniel.
Tatiana has talent. She has a good voice. But I swear, if I had to watch the season to cheer for Kris Allen and Lil Rounds and hear more of her, I think I’d go nuts! In my opinion, she had the vocals to make it but her personality made her an easy target for elimination.
Combine that with the fact that she did the same song as many times as she did and it only makes sense why the four judges would choose her not to come back (I could tell in Simon’s post-performance remarks that he had become bored and frustrated with her, and her choosing of “Saving All My Love For You” again was the straw that broker the camels back).
So no hearing that annoying laugh, the overly emotional thank yous, etc. Yes, she wanted it, and we all got that….but so did everyone who auditioned for the show.
Nathaniel Marshall - American Idol Season 8
And who will ever forget Nathaniel, the “drama queen” in Hollywood week even moreso than the “Bikini Girl”, Tatiana, and every other female combined.
Flamboyant.
Over the top flamboyant.
The real world version of “Noman Gentle” (Nick Mitchel’s alter ego on this season of American Idol)…except I don’t believe Nathaniel was acting…he was just being Nathaniel.
Fortunately, he never had to worry about showing his same emotions during Hollywood week but probably sealed his fate from making the top twelve with a horrific song choice and even less-than-impressive singing of the song.
And with the final selections done, I believe we have an entertaining final 12 that will not thrive on emotional drama but rather pure suspense and anticipation.
