    Muh ha ha! My wife and I (separate entries) are now tied for #1 in our AI pool. Worship me, puny mortals, for I am a man among ants in the dark arts of predicting insignificant events that are of no redeeming value to society!

    Taylor is, in my opinion, the worst singer left. He's a good entertainer, and is very charismatic, but the contest is, like the judges have said, a singing contest.

    After that, I think Elliot is second worst, although he is very good and unique. After that, Katherine is very good, but I don't feel she's as good as Chris.

    American Idol NEEDS Chris to win, so I'd be surprised if it was anything but him. I feel like they're trying to shed that stereotypical pop image. They need someone that isn't just a blah pop singer to win. A rocker winning it would be great for the show.

    I don't know what you guys see in Taylor, his singing is so so, and I don't like his acts whatsoever.

    Kat will go. I thought she was going to tear up Fools Rush In, but like Simon said, it didn't work.

    I guarantee Elliot is gone this week.

    Elliot deserves to stay more than anyone this week.

    So by America's logic, he's outta there.

    Also, since Kat forgot the words, she'll be #1.

    Hey, you remember that one time, like, that guy in the forum above this one...ummmm, he like, told everyone here that Reggie Bush was a done deal, due to his "sources" or something?

    That was cool.

    What is up with American Idol and the mundane song choices. Elliot was the only one with balls tonight to sing some interesting music. Jail House Rock will never be distinctive, nor will Houndog, shook up, or some weird combo of the two. Suspicious Minds is always an interesting song, but Chris sang it like he didn't care. Little Less Conversation . . . yeah, not bad, but a hold over from that remix a few years back. The closing number . . . please, that song is so elvis . . . and Kat, well, she screwed it up.

    Bottom Line, if you are going to sing such well known songs, you will always run the risk of Imitation or Everyone knowing every mistake that you make. Pick some risky music and you will come off fresh, different, and edgy. On shows like AI you have to sand out from the crowd, but during Elvis week, you have to get out from underneath the King's shadow.

    All that said . . . we only have one more night to admire the hotness of Kat . . . after tomorrow night, we will be separating the boys from the men.

    I'll make it real simple: JUG-STRA-DAM-US

    I am a mountain, I am a tall tree, oh
    I am a swift wind sweepin' the country
    I am a river down in the valley, oh
    I am a vision and I can see clearly

    I should also mention that I won thousands upon thousands of dollars by selecting the superfecta for the Kentucky Derby. ;)

    I really will hate for Elliot to go. Katharine is hot, but I hope that she goes.

    I guess it doesn't matter because it's either this week or next for both of them.

    Kat will be gone.. I thought Taylor had a not so great night also.. The second song Chris did was bland and lame until half way through.. (Simon was on the money with that one IMO)

    The thing about Elliot is he isn’t consistent.... He just keeps getting BETTER AND BETTER every week... IMO taking into account ALL the songs everyone has sang Elliot has "brought it" every time and I hope just because he doesn’t have the "IT" factor he isn’t short changed this year, but if Ruben can win anyone can...

    Elliott is a good kid, but that machine gun vibrato of his really gets to me. He has a lot of potential but getting with a good vocal coach would do wonders for him.

    I still think Catherine has the best voice, but she keeps screwing up and/or choosing weird songs. It'll probably catch up to her this week. Hopefully Maxim is right around the corner...

    Taylor is entertaining in a drunk father at a wedding kind of way, but would anyone actually buy one of his records? I think not.

    Chris keeps getting a free pass. I'm just not impressed with him like everyone else is. He's a little better than average and doesn't have much of a range at all. And FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, do something about those sideburns! I've never liked the shaved-head-on-a-white-guy look, but those sideburns just make it worse. He looks like a Sinead O'Connor tranny.

    To tell you the truth, I wouldn't buy a record from any of these 4 even if I liked pop music. No one blows you away like Clarkson did.

    I would get a Taylor record just because it's funny.

    **Possible Spoiler**

    A guy here on local radio that is pretty connected announced who is going to get kicked off tonight. He had the actual vote totals last week, and I guess he got last nights vote totals already.

    Here is who he says is leaving tonight ... Just highlight from * to * to view it.

    [Removed] because I guess making it white doesn't work for everyone. Sorry if you saw it and didn't want to see it.

    Chris gone?

    That would be funny because Paula said to him last night, "See ya in the finals".
