Archive for February, 2010

This week on American Idol is the first elimination round. The show will be cutting the second girl to join the first four contestants to leave American Idol. First it’s Janell Wheeler that gets the boot, and now it’s time to name the second girl. There were two girls: Ashley Rodriguez and Didi Benami standing next to Ryan Seacrest.

Be the judge on these videos…
