If I had the deciding vote every week and considering how things have gone so far, this would be my outcome today:
Week 7 Elimination: Elise Testone
Week 6 Elimination: Phillip Phillips
Week 5 Elimination: Holly Cavanaugh
Week 4 Elimination: Colton Dixon
Week 3 Elimination: Skylar Lane
Runner-up: Jessica Sanchez
Winner: Joshua Ledet
I choose Joshua because he has a harder row to hoe in the marketplace and I know great things are in store for Jessica (Skylar too!) whether she wins or not...this is my tip of the cap to the underdog. Sanchez is much better than Whitney Houston was at the age of 16...the girl is amazing. But what do I know? Well, I know that.
America will not vote this way. I truly believe either Skylar (who will absolutely deserve it) or Phillips (who absolutely will not) will win this year. I'll be happy for whoever it is, but I sure would like to see the highest quality folks win for a change. It's been a long time...Underwood is the last one I can think of who deserved to win from the time she stepped into the audition room.
You know who was really good this year? A guy named Creighton Fraker. Last year a monster singer named Kendra Chantelle made the Top 24 but they passed her over in favor of Karen Rodriguez and Naima. I think these initial choices by the judges boil down in part to demographics...it's a TV show with advertisers, after all.
I think Elise, Holly, Jessica and Joshua are in trouble from here on out. I think Phillips, Skylar and Colton may well be the Top 3.

Love “parent” lyrics! :)

evening jonny
Nice place to hide out from the regular news and junk
Hi Jonny - Hope you can spend some good time with us!
I am struggling here to not bust a gut laughing at this opening! They are acting as if being sent home is akin to....Oh..I dont know....the death of the Pope? A soldier being killed in action? Obama not winning the election?.......... LMAO GEEZUZ...how superficial!
I'm thinking it would be just one eliminated the following week so they can get the show back on schedule. But I'm guessing.
Yep, tierd of all the news and junk, good evening everyone.
That intro scared me. I thought they were gonna say they changed their mind and were going to save Deandre....
Hello! J-LO’s dress looks like it’s made out of electric tape.
Thanks for the list, C3. I need it because I’m not at all familiar with these songs, lol
I’m back, but exhausted. Please tell me the show is only an hour tonight.
