I had the impression that they were only picking 3. That’s bad news for us because we could be left with the dreaded Tatiana in the finals. That’s a train wreck in the making.

By the logic I cited previously, I'd be willing to bet heavily that Tatiana will be a Top 12 contestant, following in the Kellie Pickler / Sanjaya / Mikaylah / etc. mold. (Yes, I know Kellie has been successful, but while on the show, she was simply painful...)

It's TV show, and they have their own ideas of what is "entertaining", and that includes Tatiana's mental instability. The kicker is that she actually does have some talent (q.v. Pickler) so they can completely justify her being there, as opposed to Norman, who'd be completely pandering to the "reality" lowest common denominator. In any event, there's little danger of such a "joke" actually winning, although it is arguable that Taylor Hicks may have been a "joke" that got out of their control.

I didn't forget! My punching bag...

My first boxing related injury...(I think I just had the wrap on too tight, but I'm totally counting it, because saying, "I hurt myself boxing" makes me feel tough)

American Idol: Clay Aiken Dumped By Record Company?

http://www.buddytv.com/articles/american-idol/american-idol-clay-aiken-dumpe-26486.aspx

Something mysterious happened at the official website of RCA, the record label that’s carried Aiken for the past few years or so. Suddenly, his name is no longer on the RCA website, with his artist page and message board going poof all of a sudden, and users being redirected to an unofficial fan site. His name has also disappeared in press materials the label released leading to the recently-concluded Grammy Awards. And then there’s his no-show at the launching of the American Idol Experience, the new attraction at Walt Disney World.

This thing’s happened to other Idol alumni who were also dropped by RCA, namely runners-up Blake Lewis and Katharine McPhee. So, observers and fans are wondering, after five albums and millions of sold units, could Clay Aiken be on the way out, too?

At least Kellie Pickler could sing. Even Sanjaya, could carry a tune.

This Tatiana chick basically screams out her songs and think she’s God’s gift to singing.

It’s painful!

Oh well...the bad news is you could be right. Her “antics” may lead the producers to think it would be entertaining to put her into the top 12.

Thank God they invented a “mute” button.
