American Idol: Microphone malfunction

logoHere's my theory -- if Paris would've dropped a big wet smoocher on Seacrest while he was trailing her with that battery pack, then she wouldn't have gone home tonight. It would have been the perfect climatic moment during her performance of Prince's "Kiss," and God (being a huge Idol fan, and understanding the ironic nature of the moment) would have shifted some votes away from Elliott and given them to poor Paris. But alas, that didn't happen and Paris is going home, and Elliott (her partner in the bottom two) has survived another week.

I don't shed too many tears for Paris because she was never my favorite. But I must say, the top 5 are really amazing this year. Every single one of of them deserves to be there, including Paris especially Paris. But Randy was right in saying that this was the year for the men. Katharine is the only girl left, which means that she (presumably) gets her own room and the choice pick of the male groupies. Speaking of room sharing, did anybody catch Jimmy Kimmel the other night when he pointed out that Ruben and Clay Aiken probably had to share a room before the finale? It's pretty funny when you think about it. Who do you think snores louder? My money's on Aiken. He's hiding a grizzly bear in that button nose of his. I'm sure of it. 

PS- Next week, Elvis? Blaaaaaaaaaagggggh. If they are in Tennessee, they might has well head to Dollywood. Dolly! Dolly! Dolly!

I want Taylor to win this so bad... All of them are very talented though... I will buy everyone of the albums made buy the top four this year. I have Taylor's CD and it is great. hmm elvis for Taylor? "One night with you" Jailhouse rock, maybe which will make Simon crazy... He is so mean to Taylor. Does anyone know why Taylor has a tick or seems to...And did anyone see that horrible commercial when everyone was either in drag or looked like a whore? What was up with that? Bad stuff! I felt sorry for the contestants.

I'm glad someone finally mentioned Seacrest. I think he is rock solid and shows real care for the contestants. And I do not think he has the biggest ego as "Simon says"...guess who does?

Go Ryan. Don't let the ____________s get you down.

I SO agree with Maria's comment (above) re: Kat and the expression on her FACE when it was down to she and Elliott... Pure TERROR, I'd say... was she EVER sweating it! I would LOVE to see her go next... not that she doesn't have a great voice...(they ALL do) but she is SO stuck on herself... and that last act...gyrating with an invisible pole on the floor just made me nautious.... Elliott is my favorite...has been since Mandisa left (which was WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY to soon)... I doubt Elliott will go thru next week... but in my dreams he would be the NEXT AMERICAN IDOL.

I like the humility as well as the talent of the 3 remaining men. Although Kat has a great voice, i would love to see a male win it this year. My prediction: Elliot will go next, then Taylor. Chris Daughtry is in a class all his own. Whether you like rock or not, he commands the stage and has an incredible voice. I hope he wins it this year.

You're absolutely right. Ryan Seacrest is a great asset to the show. Has a fine sense of humor, a good deal of needed scarcasm, always professional, unbiased and a gentleman. I hope he goes far in his entertainment career. I know I will be watching.

Kat really looked scared last night - Loved it!!! Wish she was going - But, now that she IS the only girl, she probably won't be eliminated for another week or two - So, unfortunately, next week Elliot will be going, than Taylor or Chris - They will probably have a guy and girl in the Top 2.

I really hope now since Paris is gone that her votes will go to Elliot. I would love to see 3 guys be in the top 3. Katherine is too over rated & not as consistent as she used to be. Last night, I think she found out that she wasn't as popular as she thinks she is by the look on her face. She knew that even is Elliot was the 2nd lowest score, she was right after him. Taylor & Chris were the obvious top spots. Elliot & Kat are going to have to kick it up next week to earn their spots.

This is the final 4 that I predicted long ago and they are the Top 4 singers in the competition. I'm torn between how much I adore Taylor for his overall performance, how much I love Elliott's voice and how much he has grown in the competition, or how much I really like Katharine's voice. I was a fan of Chris too for a while but to me he is the lead singer of a band and would be better that way than trying to lead the American Idol Bandwagon. Plus I'm not sure American Idol management knows how to handle a rocker after seeing what they did to Bo and Chris is a harder rocker than Bo ever was.

Paris has many years ahead of her and I'm sure we will hear from her again. That voice can't not be silenced. I hope she gets some good advice on her career choices, with the right people she could have a very long career.

This year's Idol is more about personality. Which Idol do you worship most? For the women here it seems to be Chris. He ought to tattoo a urethra on the top of that bald noggin to complete his likeness to what he is.
