Early Favorite Stephanie Edwards Sent Home On ‘Idol’

Craig Berman of MSNBC writes, “Singing early on one of these early two-hour ‘American Idol’ heats is bad. Being unmemorable is worse.

Neither was the worst performer of the night, but there were eight more singers and nearly 90 minutes of television between their songs and the opening of the ‘Idol’ polls. Since both were bland, they wound up in the bottom two, and Edwards became the second of the 12 finalists sent packing.” Read more.
