Is this a joke? Paris is SO overrated. Cover your eyes and see what a limited range she has compared to Katherine. Paris has no chance to be the next Idol, nor should she.
No joke. On the overall rankings, she's up this high because of consistency more than anything else. Everyone else (in my opinion) has had at least one bad week, which has allowed Paris to "bubble" up to the top of my standings. If things next week go as I expect, she'll probably be overtaken by Elliott, and maybe even Taylor.
Frankly, I thought Paris's vocal on Tuesday was the absolute best. It was stunning in parts (and yes, I did go back and "just listen"). She won't win but she needs to sing that type of music. She can hand with the Norah Jones's and Diana Krall's of the world IMHO.
