I'm nervous about tonight. I hope my girl Carrie can make it through.

I disagree with many about her 2nd song last night. During the song, I thought she was doing a great job. She was a little "weak" in the beginning, but that was mostly because the band was too loud for her lower vocal parts. When she nailed the key change and high notes, it was great!

Carrie has one problem that I see and that's been song selection. Early on, she was much better at that. Her version of Heart's "Alone" was almost better than the original. But what was she thinking by picking the "Ditzy Chicks?"

As for the "looks" factor, she's a cute girl but I wouldn't say she's "all looks." I don't really think looks are a factor (for some reason)on Idol.

If they were, Lindsay and Jessica would be in the top 5. And Sarah Mathers (sent home early on from the top 20) would have won it all.

Let's see....Ruben and Fantasia were last years winners so if that doesn't say all about looks not counting, I don't know what does!

My bet is Carrie and Bo will be the final 2. Carrie will have an uphill battle against Blow Vice. Unless she's totally perfect on both numbers and Bo stumbles, she won't be able to win it. But she'll still fulfill 1/2 of Simon's original prediction and out-sell Ruben, Fantasia, Clay and Kelly.

Ah, yes, Sarah Mather. She had a good voice and deserved to be in the top 12 at least--more so than that shrieker Mikalah.

"Blow Vice"--LOL, that's better than "Bocaine"!

I am also nervous about Carrie tonight after the way she was bad mouthed by the so called judges last night. She is fantastic, has wonderful talent, and is an American Idol in my mind no matter what happens tonight! So is Anthony, who is a equally talented, but doesn't have much chance with Randy and Paula, who seem to be extremely biased against him! Sigh. I will never let myself get caught up in this show again! LOL
