All the singers sang the same songs that they practiced in the pre-recorded segments with Rod Stewart.

Which took place when? We don't know. Coulda been Monday for all we know.

Oh no--you're gonna make her pout again

LOL! Jonny, maybe I'm just hanging around too many conspiracy theorists, but I can't escape the feeling that the judges knew Pickle was going to bomb last night. So they had her "ahm sah-wee" routine all scripted and ready to go. Randy threw her the cue when he asked if she knew what he was going to say.

Ah, the perils of being too cynical. ;-)

When do they stop doing a bottom 3? Do they still do a bottom 3 when there are only 4 people left? 5?

I think when there are 3 left.

How do I find this chart on the "zabasearch" website. It doesn't seem like anyone has posted it yet. Would be interesting to see how it breaks things down.

Here ya go. They added a different chart this week. But I don't believe either one. We'll see.


Here's a link to zabasearch. Click the link at the top of the page to see the charts.

If Pickles goes home, they won't have her to kick around anymore. :)

You know.... she bombed with her Patsy Cline song, too. So, what became the focus? Her red shoes. Last night it was her sparkly shoes.

4 out of 5 librarians agree ...

You're right, along with all her attempts at damage control.

I agree....I've poured a glass of great red wine and I'm ready to kick back and watch my man Taylor go onto next week!

Nope, not yet. Currently Chris, Taylor, and Kellie have not yet been in the bottom 3.

Thanks. Maybe I was thinking of when Katharine was in the bottom three, because that one was unexpected.

I hope that's true.

Jonny, re the graphs from "zabasearch," maybe I'm expecting too much of the AI voters, but I just cannot believe Pickle is still leading the pack after that horrible fiasco last night. If Pickle wins this thing, AI's credibility will take a HUGE hit. As for Ms. Pickle, whether or not she really is a dumb-as-a-post hick, she's typecast with that image now. For better or worse, that's now her meal ticket.

Me too. Since Pickle probably isn't going to even be in the bottom three, maybe we can get rid of Antonio Banderas Jr.

(Chris) "I hear babies cry, & I watch them grow... they'll learn much more than I'll EVER know..." it sounds like he really means

I thought so too. And the relaxed (non-screaming) value of his voice was perfect. I think both he and Taylor had standout performances last night.

Here's another conspiracy point. Did anyone see what looked like a tear trail down Katharine's cheek just as she finished saying "over" at the end of her song? On closer examination it appears to be a dot of light...maybe a reflection...or maybe something more sinister...maybe something staged. Hehe. I think it was just just pure chance, FWIW.

If she wins not only will their credibility be shot but country music will suffer a black eye.

I read on another forum where someone from her town said that when she was interviewed for that Gimme the Mic show, that she didn't talk this way. The person said its all a put on. If she wants to go around as a Hee Haw reject, that what she chose.

I didn't notice it, but then I was distracted by her alternating between grins at the camera and faux expressions of feeling.

"Lookie here, we have Latoya London, one of the greatest Idol singers ( who should have won instead of Fantasia IMHO) "

Ditto to that!! Even Jennifer Hudson (who was my favorite that season) was far better than Fantasia. I think Jennifer was voted off early because she was considered "heavy" compared to the other girls that year.

But compared to Mandisa (who should not have left us yet), she's Calista Flockhart! Note: Paris was the biggest benefactor to Mandisa's premature departure. She should have bottomed out last week with her horrible version of a Freddie Mercury classic.

However, I must say that I'm glad Paris was still here this week because she was very good last night.

BTW...good analysis too...
