The Unsinkable Tatiana Del Toro

Well, American Idol has officially gone live and there is a smattering of talent (Thank You, Danny Gokey)


And then there is Tatiana Del Toro. Tonight she came out onto the stage and acted as if she wanted to be taken seriously. There was no giddy cackling. She didn't thank the sound stick man. And she tried to "market" herself like she was selling a used car.

So what does she choose to sing? The average person would think someone as bipolar as Tatiana would choose something by Amy Winehouse or maybe take on rapping like Joaquin Phoenix.

But NO....

Tatiana comes out and sings Whitney Houston. And not the 2000s bipolar Whitney. She went with 1985's "Saving All My Love For You." And it was actually better than drunken karaoke...

Consider the brick to be officially shat.

So who is the real Tatiana? If she had been serious from her first audition, I might be able to think of an artist rather than as a freak show. But now I and most of America is probably uber-confuzzled.

But hey, VoteForTheWorst.com thinks she's a winner! Lemmings, phones at the ready... It may be time for Sanjaya 2.0.
