All Hope Ends for Valley

Brandon Rogers, who forgot the words to his song in competition yesterday, got the big boot Wednesday - and with him went any chance that a Valley guy or girl would be among the season's finalists.

Rogers, 28, a former backup singer who lives in North Hollywood, was the last of four L.A. residents to be eliminated. You can now officially abandon all hope of something similar to last year's McPheever phenom taking place.

The first of the final dozen to be voted off the top-rated Fox network talent contest, Rogers said he had no hard feelings, especially after stumbling through lyrics to the Motown classic "You Can't Hurry Love" on Tuesday. "I kind of expected it," he said.

So did we. Although most of us predicted Sanjaya would be kicked off first. Close. Sanjaya Malakar and Phil Stacey had the next-lowest vote tallies in the phone ballotting, which drew about 28 million calls and text messages.

Uh... does this whole blog system work? I don't think it does because I see little or no comments left and this is AMERICAN IDOL, the most watched show on TV. I think your blog system is broken and needs an overhaul ASAP!
