If Kellie doesn't go home tonight, there's something wrong with Idol voting

She did indeed butcher that song last night. She sounded like someone trying to do a sexy song for a Disney cartoon about animals.

Chris, Paris, Taylor, and Katherine all did great. I'm not the biggest Chris fan because I think if he wins he'll do songs that sound like Creed or Lifehouse, and I'd rather jam pencils in my ears, but he sang that song perfectly. Taylor and Katherine both did really well, and Paris? Paula actually nailed it (yeah, surprising!) when she said that Paris should release an album of standards. I said that on the night Paris auditioned. She really sings that type of song great, and it will make her timeless. I hope they don't ruin her by making her a "pop" star.

The bottom three will probably be Kellie (definitely), Eliott, and Ace. If Kellie stays, the voters are insane, and I'm never watching this show again. (Elliott and Ace will be going home in the coming weeks though - no way they'll win).

Oh, and on another note: how in the world was last night a "Rod Stewart Night?" Seriously, the guy releases a few albums of standards and that qualifies as "Rod Stewart night?" Maybe they should have just called it "American Standards Night" or something. But I guess they want the big name and want to push his album. Hell, a few years ago, Pat Boone released a album of hard rock covers. If they have a "Pat Boone Night," will it be all hard rock songs?

Stewart was right when at one point he said "you sang that better than I do!" Um, yeah Rod, everyone sings these songs better than you.

Kellie should have gone home. She was horrid. The show has promoted her since the beginning of the commercials for American Idol. For the first time, I think the show is now rigged. IF Kellie Pickler wins that is. There is no way people would buy her records like they have Carrie and Kelly Clarkson. Kellie would be cute in a sitcom or a remake of the Beverly Hillbillies and yes Kellie plays Ellie Mae. But I can tell you--Nashville will NEVER accept her as a singer!

I think in the coming weeks, and this is just a fair assumption, that those folks who man the phones for "votefortheworst" will take a step back and ask themselves do they really and seriously want to see Kellie win this competition? At some point people will overcome the "fun of it all" and become a GOOD voter for soemone who will make it after it's all over with...Also, remember this, if Kellie should win, guess who she will be working for on that Recording Label? Now, what might your vision be? Season 6 will become a farce and quite laughable...I would not want to be Simon! Ok, off to next week!

She can sing Standards (BUT REALLY!! THE CARTOON VOICE IS HORRIBLE!!) Elliot good singer (NOT AN IDOL). Kellie well face it AMERICA LOVES BEAUTY. She can sing Country.. She did good with QUEEN....

At this point I will be satisfied with anyone that takes the title except for Kellie. She just doesn't have the voice talent, IMO. Chris is okay, but kind of one dimensional. His demographic proved that they don't like him straying from his vibrato wail. Look for more strobe lights and smoke next week.

America finially got it right.. goodbye and thanks goodness he is gone Ace. But Chris? I am not sure where that came from. I think he will bounce back though. Elliot next one to go, then kelly, then it really is a compitition.

Kelli and Elliot are both wonderful singers. You people who say such negative things about the people still on Idol should grow up. They have earned the right to be there. Kelli is pretty, and she can sing so you ugly people stop hating her. Elliot also has a great voice only when it comes to him people are calling him horrible names because he is not right off the cover of a magazine. You do not like pretty people, and say nasty things about people you do not think are good looking. Sounds really shallow to me. I love American Idol and will watch it until the end. May the best singer win.

yay! thank you! Ace is finally out! i don't think i could stand seeing his hair one more show. I think Kat is really good, but not for the show. Broadway's more her style. I love Taylor and Elliot. I think Paris is trying to be older than she really is, and she should start acting like a 16 year old girl.

I must be the only one here who's hearing works. How can everyone say Kellie should go because "she's like Paris Hilton". I understand you may be angry but please be honest. That girl has more vocal talent in her little pinky than Ace and Paris put together. She'll be there for the long haul, as will Chris and Taylor (I'm predicting that to be the final 3). Stop for a second and admit it, Kellie has a great voice, great face, and even better body. she's going to be a star whether you all like it or not.

Joe: I never said Rod Stewart was a bad singer. I said he was bad singing *these songs*. Stewart is a great rock singer, a great blues singer, a great soul singer. A legend. But his American standards...ugh.

OK Bob, let's see, how many millions of albums has Rod sold in his career? How many in his American Songbook series? How many Grammies? A lot. Not bad for a guy who can't sing. Good thing you're not his agent, the poor bloke would be out of work.

As for Kellie, wake up and smell the coffee dude she is easy on the eyes H-O-T. Don't much care whether she can sing, or even type for that matter.

Oh, and Kat is gonna be duh winnah, leaving that screaming Chris on the outside looking in, where he should be.
