American Idol

By Michael Slezak The first cut is the deepest, as the old Cat Stevens song goes. Then again, if Cat Stevens had been writing about the first elimination episode of American Idol's seventh season, he'd have been completely and utterly wrong, seeing how the initial four eliminations didn't even leave a surface wound tonight. Sure, Amy Davis, Joanne Borgella, Garrett Haley, and Colton Berry all seem like sweet, likable ??? or, well, at least blandly inoffensive ??? folks. But anyone who's planning to tune in to Fox two or three nights a week for the next 13 weeks couldn't have been crying like Ramiele Malubay or Asia'h Epperson at any point during tonight's program.
