Does American Idol think it’s viewers are stupid. If Matt Breitzke and Michael Sarver had a singoff and in a ‘dramatic turn of events’ and then they kept both contestants. Shouldn’t there be 37 contestants?? The singoffs were for people they weren’t sure of. This means that they either quietly kicked someone off the show that they were sure of, OR (and this sounds more likely) they picked two of the better guys in the competition put them in a ‘dramatic’ singoff to get our emotions going, and then kept them both. American Idol wake up! This is a singing competition!
