I think Katherine will go tonight, which will piss me off...She is the only one on this show I even remotely care about just because she is pretty damn hot. The problem is and reason I think she will be booted is because I think all the teenie girls who vote will get real catty and vote her off, especially after the way she looked tonight. Its the reason why Kellie is so untouchable. The only thing that will save her is the teenie and young male vote, which I dont think is quite as strong.

It's either going to be Kellie or Paris going tonight, I believe.

Bottom three will be Paris, Kellie, and either Katherine or Elliot. Taylor and Chris are safe.

I've been expecting a "shock" vote either this week or the next where either Chris or Kellie is eliminated with little warning. After Kellie's last two performances, I'm very much leaning toward her going before the final four. She's played the "Aw, shucks, I butchered that didn't I?" card two weeks in a row now. It just reeks of LOSER and the viewers will begin to turn on her.

Here's how I think it will break down over the next few weeks.

This week: Kellie or Paris is eliminated. (I'm pretty much fifty/fifty on which will go. Maybe leaning a little more toward Paris getting the boot as Kellie still might have some good will she hasn't used up.)

Next week: Kellie will go if she's still around; and Paris if Kellie goes this week.

Leaving a final four of Elliot, Chris, Kat, and Taylor.

After which, either Elliot or Chris will go. At this point, it'll depend on who gives the best performance. If either one fucks it up, they're dead. I'm leaning toward Chris staying because Elliot seems to have softer support.

Taylor and Kat will make it to the final three. Kat will have the advantage of being the only female left in the running, so that should keep her safe during the final four.

With the final three of Taylor, Kat, and Elliot/Chris. I give Kat a 2/3 chance of being evicted here unless Elliot/Chris royally screws the pooch. Kat beats Elliot, but Chris beats Kat.

Leaving a final two of Taylor and (most likely) Chris.

And Taylor takes it all. He's unstoppable, like Carrie was last year.

I do think Taylor is unstoppable, but if Kat survives this week, she will be the clear best female voice and now the producers have to pimp her to have a male/female finale. After her unfair evisceration from the judges this week, I expect nothing but praise for her the next few weeks as they begin to reset their sites on Elliot and begin to whittle the guys down. If Kellie does not go this week, she has taken on major water and looks like she will go soon.

I think all the judges forgot their meds last night.

Katherine and Taylor were the best of the night.
Elliot and Chris were good.
Paris and Kellie sucked.

Why is it when Katherine sings a "Whitney" song, Randy and Paula knock her and compare her to Whitney ?
But when Paris sings a Barbara Striesand song and butchers it, nothing is said and there are no comparisons made ?

Hmm...

The judges are clearly trying to influence the voters on who they want to win.


(Paula is a physcho and should be thrown off the show)

Has Elliot ever sang a different song?


Have the judges ever been this biased and predisposed in other seasons? I ask because I did not watch the first two seasons, nor much of the third.

Yes.

I just rewatched last night and I have come to the conclusion that the performance from Chris was one of my all time favorite ever on AI!

agreed.

chris took a song that i really dont like and made me like it. thats what a good performer does.

kat getting ripped like she did really suprised me. while no one should sing a (insert BIG vocalist here) song on AI, she actually did a very good job of it. i dont get how contestants keep hearing that they shouldnt sing a song like that, yet the ystill do...yeay after year.

taylor - looked like he started off key, got nervous, and could never really get into the song after that. he came back strong at the end, but he seemed to be chasing his tail during that song.

paris - just cant stand her. her voice gets on my nerves. sure she can sing in key most of the time, but eh.

elliot - obviously has a great voice, did well last night, but i have never been into that r&b styled voice. should be top 3 though.

Pickler - by far one of the WORST contestants who have made it to the final 6 of this show. that song was HORRIBLE. she sounded like she was auditioning for a high school musical and the only part she got was chorus...because she is good looking.

unless Paris gets booted, if Pickler is still in this competition tonight I will be disgusted. the jog is up sweetheart. go back to the farm and continue to give head ot guys who tell you sperm is full of vitamins.

From this week's "We Watch . . . So You Don't Have To" from the Washington Post. Good stuff.

Shocking night on "American Idol."

Andrea Bocelli, Tenor Muzak Man, was supposed to be the guest coach, only his "Amore" album producer, musician and songwriter David Foster, took over, seen at the top of the show saying things like "Are these the finalists?" -- and not in a good way.

Katharine McPhee wasted no time sucking up to Foster, saying this week she'd picked "I Have Nothing," written by someone named David Foster.

Oh, are you David Foster?

Not the David Foster!

Then she just burst into opera like you or I would start humming the "Friends" theme song, and totally charmed the pants off Bocelli. It's sickening.

"I think Katharine has a great future," Foster simpered.

McPhee, who suffers from performance dyslexia, finally figured out how to distract viewers from this crippling inability to move naturally onstage -- cleavage.

Lots and lots of cleavage.

"Great moves in that dress," oozed Ryan Seacrest, who has completed his transformation from T-shirt-wearing pop-culture-phenomenon-show host to banker, in a bespoke suit, pink striped shirt and blue silk tie.

As if it knew some great evil was about to befall, Paula Abdul's microphone shut itself off; she could be heard only faintly telling McPhee something about "know what your money is" and "back pocket."

Like that first little tremble of the ground you felt in your bed in L.A. on the morning of Jan. 17, 1994, right before the Northridge earthquake hit.

Elliott Yamin -- this season's best singer by a mile -- sang Donny Hathaway's "A Song for You" and things really got weird.

Paula started sobbing: "You move me! . . . You've moved me from the beginning!"

Paula also wanted Yamin to know she thinks he's very handsome.

(And producers of ABC newsmag "Primetime," smelling another May sweeps special, began to furiously e-mail each other.)

Simon Cowell -- the only judge worth listening to -- called Yamin's performance "a vocal master class . . . superb."

Then Kellie Pickler sang "Unchained Melody" because it reminded her of that sweet little pottery scene in "Ghost" and she bemoaned the fact that "I don't have anybody to play pottery with."

Hello? Patrick Swayze was dead in that flick, Trampy Barbie.

Bocelli said she seemed "very happy and I like her -- this is important."

"What color hair does she have?" Foster snidely asked Bocelli, who is blind.

"Blond," Bocelli responded.

"Wow," Foster said, after which Trampy Barbie trudged her way through what Simon called the Neverending Song and he was right, as usual.

Little Paris Bennett sang "The Way We Were" but voters won't remember it because she got totally upstaged by what happened next.

And no, we don't mean spotting Tori Spelling in the audience.

When Taylor Hicks sang "Just Once," Paula said he looked "handsome as heck" (more frantic e-mailing among "Primetime" producers) and when Simon started to trash-talk his performance, Paula leapt up and shouted Simon down, screaming, "We love you!" like a woman wailing to her demon lover.

" Paula , I am the one who was talking!" Simon yelled back to no avail, while Paula turned to the audience with a "back me up here, people!" look.

By the time Chris Daughtry did his psycho-stalker rendition of "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman," Paula was utterly out of control.

"LOVE YOU!" she hollered, jumping up and down.

"We all love you!

"Love!

"You!"

General thoughts:

I don't know which is more hilarious, the idiotic over-criticism of Kat or Paula crying for Elliott. I assume this was just the producers' pre-emptive strike to get the crowd behind Kat for a male vs. female showdown. What a transparent show.

Paris singing "The Way We Were"? "I'm only 17, but I have memories." Someone didn't listen to the lyrics before singing it. What an awful song choice for a 17 year old.

I don't care if she's annoying or not, fake or not, I want to "play pottery" with Kellie.

das

I thought Kellie was cute in the beginning, but she's looking more and more like a garden gnome to me every week.

She's still cute. She just needs to keep that trap shut.

Speaking of which, did anyone see Ace on "Ellen" this week? Never laughed so hard in my life. The guy was singing "Butterflies" to the audience. Finishing up with him crooning to a 50 plus year old housewife. It was by far the strangest thing I've ever seen.

was ellen danicing? i just LOVE when she dances...and then the audience dances with her...and then she dances back to them. just great!!!

HA HA! No, she wasn't at the time. Is that tired or what? I love her, but have to fast forward that part of the show. I have to agree with Howard Stern. She does dance like a guy. Well, dresses like one too Funny lady though.

Holy crap...mcphee's breasts and panty shot...best ever..

then Paula crying...and simon trying to stop from laughing..

it was great.

Ok, my top 5:

1- Elliott- Another terrific performance. The only idol I would buy a cd from. Well, unless Paris releases a CD of jazz standards. Or if Chris releases a Live cover album.
.....
7- Chris- Pretty good, but like a few poster have mentioned, the 24/7 intense look is starting to creep me out.
.....
.....
25- Taylor- I actually enjoyed this song more than most. But everytime I look at him, I can't help but think of Jay Leno. "So Kevin, did ya hear about this one?"

26- Kat- Very close to Taylor, she did an ok job tonight. Her funbags, however, were phenomenal.
.....

32- Paris- Very disappointed tonight. I HATE that song, and it is even worse when it is oversung. She should just do Billie Holliday or Ella each week.
.....

118,765- Kellie- Words cannot begin to describe how awful she was. The song was just so flat and lifeless. I give her credit for nailing the high notes at the end, but honestly, I sing that song better in the shower each morning.


My prediction (not based on merit): Elliott, Paris, and Kellie in the bottom 3. Elliott was just too good, and Kellie has too strong a fan base, so PARIS goes home tonight.

Actually, I kinda want Kellie to stay on, just so I don't have to be subjected to her singing Unchained Melody again. yuck.

Ok, I missed some of Kat's perfromance, so....

I.

Need.

PICS!!!!!

Panty shot you say? Someone must have a screen cap.

I've got a McPheever. And the only prescription is more panty shot.

BOOYAH!

McPheever Wardrobe Malfunction

Best. Site. Ever.


Thanks bedhead, you rock.

Her breasts almost fell out as well..

I think the judges were dead-on correct about Katharne's performance. Watch it again and this time close your eyes and LISTEN. She sang that song much too low and as a result she sounded very flat, especially during the verses. I think everyone is just too distracted by her lovely assets to notice. I liked it when she pushed her hair out of her face though. She had a determined look on her face reminiscent of Taylor kicking his microphone stand.

she has hair?

She has a voice? I just mute the TV and stare when Kat's on the telly.
