My predictions

 

Bottom 3: Elliott, Kellie, Paris.

 

Eliminated: Elliott

 

If Elliott does not get the boot then it will be Paris.

 

Kellie survives another week, but it's reality check time now.

 

What is with the Elliott love fest from the judges? Am I missing something? Is he really as good as the judges say he is?

I think he's good, but not that good. He's been middle of the pack in this competition to me, and I think it's only a matter of time.

 

Also, why were the judges putting the hate on Katharine so much? She was great tonight. Oh well, she's safe anyway.

He was better than Kelly last night.

 

But I think people "LIKE" her.

He has a beautiful voice.

Yeah, when Elliott is ON, he's quite good....he sounds somewhat unique and I enjoy his performance. When he's NOT on, though, it's like agony. He won't win AI, but after the show he needs to find his niche, hire Barry Manilow to do his arrangements, and target a particular audience. I think he could pull it off.

Final 2 = defo Daughtry and McPhee. They and Hicks are in a different league. Paris is too annoying, and frankly a bit too, well, Whitney Houston for me and wayyy more annoying. Pickler, well gosh, she just bores me. Yamin... Does anyone else sing "We Jammin'" with Yamin in there instead each time he appears?

 

I can't vote. I'm merely a passive spectator... ;) It still rocks.

I'm with you on this one. Elliott is okay, but not deserving of the praise they give him week after week. I also thought Katherine was good and not deserving of the criticism they gave her last night...but then again, I might have been distracted while she was singing. ;)

McPhee was horrible last night. i think she has got to fire whoever dresses her. yeah the boobs looked good last night but the dress looked ridiculous.

 

Taylor looks like a heavier younger version of George Clooney. I like him. (Taylor, not Clooney). last night he was a bit flat, but i think he will continue on until the final 3 at least.

 

Chris was pretty good last night. the only problem is that all of his songs sound the same.

 

the blonde pickle. she is awful, and is beginning to not even be as much fun to look at. she has to go.

 

Paris was ok. she looked like a mini-me version of gladys knight.

 

Elliot. I don't get him either.

 

GOD it was good not to have to sit through Ace singing and watch his brother in the audience.

 

 

I loved listening to he guest judges last night. i know who they are but i can't remember their names. the one guy made simon cowell sound like a pussycat.

The thing with Elliot is that you have to look away from the TV and just listen. When he is on he is really good, and last night he was really good. I do think his days are numbered at Faber but last night he was in the top three.

 

Top Three:

 

Chris

Kat

Elliot

 

Bottom Three:

 

Taylor

Paris

Pickler

 

Her time has come, good bye Miss Pickler, you little minx.

 

Hey anyone else notice the promo for the OC with Lisa Tucker guest staring?

Here we go with the round of six. I’m fresh off a weekend marathon of Veronica Mars Season One, so I’m chock full of hardboiled adolescent Storm and Stress (snaps for G. Stanley Hall). Body type angst and feelings of alienation aside, it’s Andrea Bocelli night on American Idol. That’s two blind singing coaches this season if you’re keeping track at home. We can be sure Ray Charles isn’t going to white-cane-it through that door under his own power, but Jose Feliciano can be had if the Border Militia lets him over the fence and we are willing to sit through sixty minutes of Feliz Navidad covers. Aquí vamos…

 

Right out of the gate and it’s really David Foster night… Andrea Bocelli is just along for the sight-gags. The Idols get slapped across the face during vocal warm-ups, and we see that the guy who scored St. Elmo’s Fire and ran down Ben Vareen isn’t going to go easy on these six wannabes. Oh baby, David Foster night is gonna be sweet.

 

To hammer home that Idol is driven by cell-phone data, Seacrest announces that each contestant gets two phone numbers now. The producers have clearly over-estimated the ambidexterity of today’s youth, and a voting controversy looms on the horizon. I am on the edge of my uncomfortable office chair (my wife gets the cushy couch and the big TV for Rory, Lorelai and a hospitalized Logan, while I get the cramped office and the crappy set until the season ends). Stay tuned…

 

Katharine McPhee “I have nothing”.

Katherine is going with a song written by David Foster for the crack whore Whitney Houston. I’m lucky enough to have never heard her version, so it’s going to fall on a fresh set of ears. Yowza! McFunbags, indeed! She is in another freaking league than these other clowns, and she looks fab tonight. My only critique is that I would have worn a thong in that dress, but other than her poor choice of unmentionables, she kicked “butt.” The judges don’t agree, and it looks like it’s “Tear down Katherine” night on Idol. I’d actually vote to show them I think they’re full of crap, but the new two number system has me and my can of PBR confused. C’est la McVie.

 

Elliot Yamin. “A song for you” by Donnie Hathaway.

Foster seemed a bit ambivalent on Elliot, and Andrea sat there and collected his paycheck. (Who let Kevin Nealon in?!? Get back in the kitchen and grab another tray of canapés, Kevin. You got time to lean, you got time to clean.) I thought it was another lackluster Elliot performance, but the judges were freaking out. Paula was crying hysterically, and couldn’t form words. Randy was “diggin’ it dog.” Simon trotted out the “You’re the best male vocalist we’ve ever had” line. I’m speechless, too, but it’s because I’m dumbfounded as to what they’re watching and listening to. It must be the lousy television setup I have (Damn you, Gilmore Girls and your pop-culture smaltz!). Anyway, the Yaminiacs will have to bust a move on their cells this week, because despite the high praise from the three monkeys judging this thing, he’s in trouble every Wednesday.

 

Kellie Pickler. “Unchained Melody”

Pickler gets the pre-song Seacrest interview and we find out she’s just a lonely single country gal longing to find someone to do pottery with. A shameless attempt to pull our heartstrings from the pretend-stupid untalented fake blonde. David Foster’s facial expression said it all when she opened her mouth during rehearsals and tried to do the song without the “money-note” that everyone expects to hear. “You mean I have to sing (bat eye lashes).” She was doomed from the get-go, because the “cute” naïve blonde shtick was bound to bomb when confronted with a blind guy and an actual music producer. As predicted by all, her version of “Unchained Melody” was a three minute long unhinged shriek. And also predicted by all, she attempted the “Gosh, I’m sorry for sucking” routine again. But like the “I’m with stupid” T-shirts her cheering section wore and these tedious reviews I continue to write, the joke’s gotten old. The judges squashed her like a June-bug, and Seacrest had to step in to end the bloodbath. This could be it for Pickler, but probably won’t because this has nothing to do with talent.

 

Paris Bennett. “The way we were”

Paris chooses the Babs Streisand title track from the 1973 Sydney Pollack classic movie of the same name. Choosing a song from a movie about a snake-bit romance between a Jewish commie and a sitcom writer would usually get high praise from someone like me. But I don’t like Little Miss Thing even a tiny bit, so I went to the kitchen for an oatmeal cookie.

 

Taylor Hicks. “Just once” James Ingram

Foster said Hicks has “charisma.” You say “charisma”, I say “po-tah-toe” with silver hair. Hicks hits the stage in a black velvet suit with a red pocket hanky, and immediately goes into his clenched buttocks stance. (Tori Spelling cameo shot!!!!!!) I’m not feeling it tonight, and neither were the judges. He’s safe and the Soul Patrol will twist and jerk lamely on for another week.

 

Chris Daughtry. “Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman” by Bryan Adams.

Foster and Bocelli got him to sing lying on his back, a trick that wasn’t lost on The Dumb One That Can’t Sing. Chris did an adequate job (ie I was bored), and the monkeys sure dug him. Paula was hopping around like a sugared-up cheerleader. Despite the AI producers screwing with the viewers and placing him in the bottom two last week, he’s most likely safe.

 

The Bottom Dwellers:

I’ve been consistently wrong all season, and the producers have been toying with us, but I’ll say Elliot and Paris bottom out this week, much like these exercises in futility I’m calling reviews. Elliot goes. Or Paris…or Pickler…or….

Fezmid got me watching that a while back....I actually really enjoyed it for the most part. There were a couple of goofy teenie-bopper moments here and there, but I guess that's to be expected. I thought it was pretty well done overall!

 

Great review, as usual!

I thought both Katherine and Kelly were bad last night...sorry guys.  I think you may have been a little too distracted with her outfit to really hear her.  :P  :lol:  I think Kelly will be voted out.

I was too busy looking at what was under her outfit to really be paying attention to it :lol:

I was looking and listening and I still thought Katharine was one of the better performances last night.

 

Oh well, obviously people hear it differently from others.

 

Case in point: How I heard Katharine(thought she was great) as opposed to the judges, and how I heard Elliott(thought he was fair) as opposed to the judges.

I usually don't 100% agree with evrything the judges say but tonight I 100% DISAGREED with everything they said. Paula was flat out embarassing. I turned off my TV twice as a direct result of her actions. I was never completely sold on the fact that this show is not legit but I am now. The judges inexplicable tearing down of good performances and Chris and Katherine both being in the bottom three in recent weeks has me thoroughly convinced that the show is riggged. That being said, I could care less either way.

Amen, I loved her second performance. I had never heard the song before but I liked her version. I also liked the way she looked while she sang. I noticed that Simon apologized for dissing her last week, I thought she did better than they said. I think Paris is finally gone...

I think she's starin' at the fork, too......She's a cutie, and very talented, but she's not the best singer in this group. McPhee and Daughtry are both much better, IMO.

 

The artist who has that second McPhee song as a top 40 hit currently was featured on Star 94 as "The Next Big Thing" the other day. It's a catchy little number.

I do not think that the producers will let Spazz in the final two. It will be Chris and McFunbags. Tootie will be gone this week. Then Elliot. Then Spazz and then Chris, leaving McFunbags as the winner.
