Bye Bye Robbie Carrico . . . and Your Wig

I was sad to see Robbie Carrico get the boot last night on American Idol. I mean the interesting rumors had just started flying . . . forget that he used to be in a boy band or that he used to date Britney Spears way back in the day. The best rumor of all about him–which I’m pretty sure is true–is that his hair is actually a wig! Yesterday I was doing copious websearches to get close-ups on his hair, and I finally had a good collection of proof of his synethetic locks, and boom! Just like that he gets cut. Total bummer. Wait, I’m supposed to judge him just on his singing? What show is this? Remember, it’s American Idol, and thus it has very little to do with singing!

To send Robbie off into obscurity, the good folks at VotefortheWorst.com–by the way the most hysterical American Idol blog, period–have tons of photos of him from “back in the day.” This means back when he looked exactly like every other teen singer coming out of Orlando, Florida circa 1999.
