And then there were five...

AfterKara Dioguardi told Sioban Mangus that she was "back in the game", Sioban was kicked off of season 9 of American Idol on Wednesday night after Simon accusing her of sounding like she was "giving birth". Mangnus has been known to have never conform to anything the judges asked for. What made her competition so intense, was that you never knew what you were going to get from her. Her unique style and vocal chords that could reach notes that were unheard of, everyone saw her as instant competition, and possible top three. Always good vocals, but songs that would make you wonder, "why?!" and outfits that cause you to ask if there was a mirror in her dressing room. 

"Siobhan also said that she felt it was important to she the unique sides of her personality. "I've always been an independent person and a different kind of person, but I'm very stubborn and strong-willed," she says. "It's important for me to get that across, that I'm not going to change to please other people. I do what I do because it rests well on my heart.""

Mangnus' performances have included Paint it Black, Superstition, and Think. Many times, Wednesday's montages included Sioban being very upset with the judges comments and not being able to pin point what to fix in her performances.
While Sioban was performing, there were always some fans there for support which quickly took the names of "siobanbies"(fans dressed as zombies). At the end of her run, the judges gave her encouraging words about recording an album and whatever else her future holds.

I'm not a huge fan of American Idol. I typically watch it when they have terrible entry auditions and at the very end when the winner is announced. I never heard Sioban sing, but I do like the new twist they put on this season. It was cool having Ellen there for the entire season and not just for special episodes. I wonder if they have another season in them left. Simon's leaving..alledgedly, Paula is GONE..Randy has America's Best Dance Crew and they seem to be bored at panel anyway.
IDK. Best of Luck Sioban.

Being unique is not a bad thing when it comes to being a pop star. It seems like everyone in history that has been popular has gotten their popularity from being different. The reason KISS was popular is because they were doing something that was unheard of. Guys wearing make-up was more than ridiculous at the time but they were different than everyone and therefore popular too. I hope that these idols don't change in order to please the judges because they should be themselves. The reason lady gaga is one of the biggest stars of today is because she is completly outrageous. So i guess what i am saying is, be yourself and if being yourself means being different, then be different.
