I will try to find it. I can get at least one Chicago station, I'm just not sure which one it is.
Thanks for the link!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading the thread from last night! I had to use the bathroom a couple of times to keep from wetting myself. Darn weak bladder on account of having three babies!
LMAO!!! Great analogy. I really miss that show too. Some of the best writing in all of television.
Last week Kellie and Paris were the bottom two and within the margin of error so they predicted that one of the two would be kicked off. They have been pretty accurate after they adjusted their formula after the top 12 started.
I do agree with your assessments of Chris and Taylor, Max. I like Chris, I really do, but he is very limited. I agree he would be a better fit for a band frontman. Taylor is extremely entertaining and I always look forward to his performances.
I think Kat is really good, but she lacks something.
Elliott, well, everyone knows how I feel about him. Voice like silk. Reminds me of the days of Marvin and Luther.
Paris needs to do the jazz stuff like Ella Fitzgerld to succeed. I'd buy her CD if she did that stuff.
Modern (pop) music isn't her strong point. She's kind of like "Fantasia lite." (But not as much screetching.)
Yes, that would be an excellent song for Taylor. ANY song with little range is GREAT for Taylor. Thus, Taylor would be wise to stay away for other Billy Joel (who REALLY can sing and has an excellent voice and good range) songs.
In this case, DialIdol (unavoidably) has a methodology error because they don't take text messaging into account. They also rely on their users being a representative sampling of the country, but it is a self-selecting group, and that laways introduces some form of bias.
Chris performed well though I didn't like his song selection. He would be good as the lead singer in a rock band.
Whether Elliot's song lacked pizzazz, or not he sang it beautifully.
Taylor's first song was absolutely horrible. And if spastic and quirky is good dancing he was tops. His second song was however, HIS best performance this year.
Of them all thus far, Katherine deserves to win this competition, and I'll be rooting for her.
"Still Rock & Roll to me" for Taylor. "Only the good die young" is probably too racy.
"Trusting DialIdol is lot like trusting exit polls."
That's a good point...although they're a bit better because with exit polls you have to take the liberal bias of the media into consideration.

No McPhee, no me. A deal breaker for sure.
OTOH, if she makes it one more week and Paris goes then she should have enough "guy votes" to make it to at least to the round of 3. I think the problem is that the girls are outvoting the guys this year and that is hurting Katharine. She always leads in the somewhat more male dominated internet polls. Look at the raw scores on dialidol.com - It's McPhee by a mile.
I think that DI will have continue to track close to the show's results. It's a sampling of voters that while uncontrolled scientifically, still manages to give you an idea of who the lowest voter getters were.
Note that AI has not always said who the lowest two vote getters are each week.
If I were Taylor I would have said, "The same way 'Try A Little Tenderness' was removed as a love song." But I'm a smart-a$$ that way.
Both Taylor and Elliott acted like they could care less what Simon had to say last night. They both knew they are not the Chosen Ones.
o you are saying you don't believe in statistics and margin of error? I can't help you with that........
Hindu Love Gods. Name the backing band : )
