You mean it's NOT the camera man?? ;^) (I actually don't think he's gay, but I can see how some people do.)

He showed he is flexible, not stuck on one type of music. He was by far the best. :) Tell him he did good.

Simon finally called out Chris for being a one trick pony. His entire act has been repeated ad nauseum, with the flashing lights, the brooding countenance, and the upper range angst. Tonight he even threw in a vein on his head about to burst. Simon is right: America doesn't want a serial killer as their next Idol. This might be seen as a pivotal show for Daughtry's story arc.

Weak show overall, but Katherine continues to be consistently great both technically and in the way she presents herself.

And Taylor made a good move showing some range. He needed this performance.

Mandisa got evangelical, which is why Simon called it "self-indulgent" Brits don't get the whole American bible belt thing. But in fairness to Mandisa, her performance last week would've been hard to top in the best of circumstances.

Paris is completely annoying, in a star-searchy jon-denet recital kind of way. She's entirely too cocky from being told her whole life that she was born for this.

Lisa is going home for similar star-deach reasons, although I don't find her the least bit arrogant like I do Paris.

So while this was not a great week overall, it does advance the ball as impressions continue to harden. This week will come back to haunt Paris and Chris.

Eliot was fantastic tonight MR. This was by far his best week. HE was the one true rose in a pile of poop this week. Just tell him not to dance anymore, he made Taylors dancing look good - LOL.

Love that song... it was painful to listen to hear Lisa sing it.

2 Kellie Pickler 54.1975 -
3 Chris Daughtry 40.0494 -
4 Paris Bennett 26.8148 -

****Have you heard a song called "In the Boondocks" by a band called Little Big Time? ***

I like the video too. Cute singer whoever she is. When I heard the lyrics I thought this would have been a perfect song for Kelley to sing. She could belt it out and it could be a real statement song for her if she did it right.

I got to hand it to the AI stylists--Elliot looks much better now than he did during the semi-finals.

Back then, he looked like a refugee from Lancaster, PA, the center of Amish country.

Mandisa started out flat and then starated to belt it out.

I still like her - a LOT!
