America you’re doing it again! You have eliminated the most talented singer from American Idol well before their time. Are we going to have another Kris ‘mediocre’ Allen as the winner this season? Siobhan Magnus was robbed of the American Idol title or at least the chance to be in the top three. The only way the show will redeem itself is if Crystal or Lee wins. But Casey James, who shouldn’t have even been in the top 24, much less the top three, has a good chance of winning. Don’t get me wrong, the man is incredible on the guitar. But do you seriously want to have a whole CD full of Goat Boy singing? Perhaps that is mean, but I’m keeping it real here. My money is on Crystal now, who is an amazing talent. Unfortunately people keep attacking her looks, ie: dreadlocks, less than perfect teeth. If you want to make this a beauty contest, then notice her beautiful eyes and porcelain skin. Or Lee, he has gorgeous eyes too. However it is NOT a beauty contest and looks should never be considered in this competition. TALENT is the one and only reason to vote for someone. Sorry I have gone off on a tangent. I would like to salute the incredibly talented Siobhan, who was voted off of American Idol, leaving her in sixth place.

Siobhan auditioned for American Idol in the summer of 2009 in Boston, and was one of two Massachusetts contestants to make the semi-finals of the show. Magnus has exposed a wide vocal range on Idol, often displaying very high notes. She is known for her interpretation of classic songs, such as "Think" originally by Aretha Franklin and "Paint It Black" originally by The Rolling Stones. Some of her rock singing techniques have been met with criticism from Simon Cowell. On April 20, Magnus performed "When You Believe", originally a duet by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston, but the judges criticized her fashion sense and general lack of direction. On the top 6 night, when she performed "Any Man of Mine", judge Kara DioGuardi told her that "she was back!" Despite praise from the judges for her performance, Magnus was eliminated the next day. Magnus was never reported to be in the Bottom 3 until the night of her elimination. Magnus' elimination came as a surprise to some viewers as she was considered one of the front-runners on the show. It was reported that as a result, many fans of Magnus have vowed to not watch the rest of the American Idol season. The week after Magnus' dismissal, American Idol had its lowest ratings since 2002.

I will be waiting patiently for her first CD to be released. I would really love to see her do a duet with Adam Lambert, the Season 8 contestant who should have won. I am not one of those who will refuse to ever watch the show again when the wrong person is eliminated. There have been so many great talents that have emerged from American Idol, who did not win the competition. (Chris Daughtry, Jennifer Hudson, Clay Aiken), and I would hate to miss seeing more of these truly talented people.

Siobhan, you have a loyal following and we all love you!
