I don't know who will get voted off tonight; it's so close that it's just a matter of who's watching the show.

I personally can't warm up to Haley either. She's all about herself and doing what it takes to win; JMHO. Maybe kids don't see it as much as older people do. I tend to not enjoy the singing of people who don't feel the music and/or haven't lived what they're singing about.

They all have good voices. They might have benefitted more from living an unsheltered life and having some real world experiences instead of lessons on how to sound and act like idols. I'm not sure I'd by any of this year's CDs or go to their concerts.

The Idol tour concert last year was very disappointing to me, a senior citizen. Each of the top 10 sang 1, 2 or 3 individual songs with a sound system that was so loud it took ear plugs to make it bearable. There seemed to be no staging, choreography or costumes, just very high volume and flashing lights.

In 2007 there were duets, trios and groups in addition to solos. The whole show was delightful. That was the year of Jordin Sparks, Sanjaya Malakar and Melinda Doolittle. I especially remember a medly of patriotic songs featuring, among others, Phil Stacey a member of the US Navy. Ashley Ferl's crying picture started its career in 2007.

Tickets go on sale tomorrow. I wonder what this year's tour show will be like?
