Done in by "Unchained Melody," Trampy Barbie got sent home last night on "American Idol."
In week after week of subpar-even-for-"Idol" performances, Kellie Pickler had dodged the Bottom Three on the strength of her pouty dumb-blonde routine, which never failed to enchant the all-male lineup of celebrity coaches, the mostly male judges and show host Ryan Seacrest.
Simon Cowell was so smitten he proclaimed her a naughty little minx.
But even Simon couldn't overlook her funeral dirge version of the tune made famous by the Righteous Brothers.
Not even this week's brilliant variation on the dumb-blonde routine could save her:
I'm so sad because I don't have a boyfriend, so I'm singing this song because it reminds me of that pottery scene from "Ghost," and won't you come play pottery with me?
Though it was very, very good.
How bad was Trampy Barbie singing "Unchained Melody"?
When she was announced as this week's ejectee and handed the microphone for the traditional Song of the Loser, Ryan suggested she instead use the time to thank her fans. That Ryan is such a diplomat.
