Dear Anoop Desai and Lil Rounds,
No one could say you didn't give it your best effort, although if we're being honest, we'd kind of had enough of you. Especially, you Lil -- toward the end there, your name was the only thing about you we were finding cute anymore. But we suppose we can be grateful to you for bringing us some of the craziest outfits in the history of our American Idol viewership...
Easily the most nonsensical outfit you wore during your Idol run. Be confident in the knowledge that we will never ever be able to get the fit of those white pants out of our head.
Girl, please. What's happening here? Even Whitney never wore turquoise rayon. You look like a mother-of-the-bride.
It goes without saying that folded napkin chic is always a risky choice, but on the up side, the shoes kind of save it. Mostly we just can't understand why the glam squad always wanted you in high-school-prom-meets-business-cocktail.
In the end Lil, you were largely a disappointment to us, but on the plus side, you seem like a lovely person and we wish you well. Anoop, bless your heart for hanging in there even though you never established a consistent voter base, and your whole Idol experience was a bit like sitting in a carnival dunk tank. Props to you for keeping it endearing. Also, both you and Lil can feel good about the fact that at no point during your time on Idol were you ever as awkward as David Archuleta was last night.
Peace,
The Remote Island
