The Elimination of Restless Road...

..Stalling time, stalling, and more time stalling. And then Mario had to trick us all, knowing we’re impatiently waiting for the results of the final 3. I seriously wanted to jump through my television screen and choke Mario for that. (Laugh out loud)

After the killing of the suspense, the first act announced to make it to the finals was Carlito Olivero. I was hoping and wishing he would make it to the finals, and it happened. Carlito deserves it. If you follow me on twitter, than you’ve seen me say numerous of times that Carlito is the next Marc Anthony. And I truly believe he is. I’ve said it for weeks now, and coincidentally he sung one of his songs last night. Carlito honors his Latin roots very well.

The guest performer of this week was the legendary Enrique Iglesias. Enrique has had hit after hit after hit, ever since the 90’s. I tip my hat off to Musicians like him. I tip my hat to him because he has not only sold millions of records all over the world, but he’s been successful with making that cross between the genres of Latin and Pop with ease. Enrique would be a very good mentor for Carlito, considering the genre and look Carlito is going for.

The next act to go to the finals was Alex and Sierra. I like them, although, I feel like their spot in the finals should have gone to someone else that was eliminated earlier on in the competition. In spite of that, I would really like to see where their career is going to go. As it has been stated, there hasn’t been a couple to do this musically since Sonny and Cher, so I’m anxious to see where this is going to go.

The bottom two acts this week resulted with Jeff Gutt and Restless Road.

For the past couple of weeks Jeff has managed to change my opinion on him, and he’s really been stepping it up with his song choices. Therefore, I was hoping he’d make it to the finals over Restless Road, which he did. Restless Road was the act that had the least amount votes, and honestly, I’m not surprised. America couldn’t have gotten done any better by getting rid of them this week. Their elimination was well OVERDUE. They aren’t that entertaining, and I honestly feel like they slid through this competition with ease, when they shouldn’t have. That group needs to major nurturing.. I wish them the best though.

I’m anxious to see who is going to take the title home next week. It shall be an interesting show to watch next week. I’ll meet you guys at the finish line.
