‘American Idol 15’ results: Was Sonika Vaid or Dalton Rapattoni eliminated?
Tonight, “American Idol” did one of the cruelest things that they’ve arguably done through fifteen seasons tonight, and that is eliminating someone before they even got an opportunity to perform. They ultimately spent all week having to rehearse songs that actually did not end up being a part of the show in the end.
Ultimately, though, we really cannot say that this is going to be much of a surprise: Sonika Vaid is gone in fifth place. There are people who just seemed destined to go home, and after two weeks in the bottom, it makes some sense for the results to be what they were. She and Dalton Rapattoni, who has struggled at times, were the two in danger of going.
Why did the show choose to do this in such a way? We figure it’s mostly so that they could inject some other filler into the show … yep, filler. There’s a lot of it on the show tonight, and don’t even get us started on the whole Stevie Van Zandt treatment.
The good news for Sonika is that she made it far enough on the show that she will get some name recognition from this, and maybe that is something that will be very useful for her as she starts to be propelled further into their career. Ultimately, though, it’s more about the platform that you are given than being on the show itself. You have to find a way to move forward and work hard.
