How sad was it that Ashley Leitao got kicked off Canadian Idol last night? The poor girl was obviously surprised (as was I) and she was heavily sobbing and hyperventilating (as was I)! And while Ben Mulroney keeps saying all this stuff about how proud Canada is and how great the girl is and blah blah blah - it's so redundant and his fake praise means nothing anymore - Ashley is trying hard not to cry and/or get angry. Then comes the part I find really ironic: Ben finishes up his long-winded speech about how Ashley is so talented and more blah blah blah and then asks her to THANK her fans? Huh? Thank them for what? Not voting enough to keep her in the competition? For getting her "this far?" She hasn't gotten very far if you ask me... no thanks to her "fans."

At least Ashley didn't deliver the cliche "You haven't heard the last of me" line that eliminated contestants usually say. She's smart enough to know that her 15 minutes are pretty much over and no matter what Ben Mulroney says, so is her career.

Cruel cruel Canadian Idol world eh?
