Well, the last chance we had at any real drama for this season of American Idol went out the window Wednesday night when Syesha was unceremoniously bumped from the Final Two. I’m sure no one was more surprised than she. After all, with that nagging sense of entitlement she’s had all season, she probably thought she’d actually wrapped this thing up back in week one. I’m shocked she didn’t tell Ryan last night, “YOU MEAN THERE’S ANOTHER WEEK? I THOUGHT I ALREADY WON! You’re silly, Ryan.”
Alas, Syesha now must enter her post-Idol life as a coulda-been contender, but even if we never hear from her again, we’ll always know that she is — and always will be — a STAR!
Pictures of her trip home after the jump…
“Wow, look at this private airplane Fox gave to me, and all because I won American Idol!”
“I’m being flown to my victory parade!”
“So Syesha, do you think you have a shot to make it into the finals?”
“The finals? You must be mistaken. I’ve already won!”
“Hahahahahaha! I’m a champion.”
“Rupert Murdoch himself gave me this Fox affiliate! Just the perks of being an American Idol winner!”
“A baby? Do you want me to bless him for you?”
“It’s amazing! All these people came out here to see ME, the 2008 winner of American Idol!”
“What? You’re giving me an honorary Oscar? For lifetime achievement? It’s too much, really!”
“Right now, I’m being driven to the American Idol Hall of Fame. I’m being inducted!”
“What’s this? I’m the Democratic Party Presidential Nominee? How grand!”
“If you put your mind to it, you can achieve anything. Just look at me, a Nobel Prize winner!”
“Wow! My very own helicopter! Thanks, America!”
“Here’s a sneak peek at my new single, to be released this fall. It’s already gone triple-platinum and won a Grammy!”
“Are you here because you want me to be your mayor? I’D BE HONORED!”
“I didn’t expect to cry so much. I’ve just accomplished SO MUCH and done it SO WELL!”
“It’s amazing that someone like me could still be so grounded, given all my talent. I just really inspire myself!”
“And here’s the award they gave me for being The Best American Idol Winner Ever. It really means so much. Thank America!”
