Easy to rank them this week:
Elliott(Not my favorite performance by him but easily the best of the night)
Stepping down to a group of three who were close in quality, ranked in this order:
Paris(Another good but not great performance. Never liked that song from anyone though. Should have gone with something jazzier)
Chris(Good performance. Showing a little versatility while still in Chris-style)
Katharine(Wasn't as bad as the judges said it was, but it did bring Katharine's faults into play again. Who's advising the contestants week to week? Whoever it is should be canned. Actually, it looked like Foster was trying to steer her right when he was demonstrating a part of that song, but Kat missed it completely and continued to belt)
Another step down:
Taylor(Another of those middle-of-the-road performances that seem to be Taylor's achilles heel)
Several big steps down:
Kellie(Only a few people in the world should sing that song, and Kellie ain't one of them. Really bad song choice. She should be singing simple, up tempo, country songs appropriate to her twang.)
A shame, but I expect Paris to get voted off this week. Just don't think she has the dedicated fan base necessary to save her.
I have been voting for everyone but Kelly for an hour.
It was most difficult to get through for Chris & Katherine.
I made sure to throw plenty of votes to Paris as she may be the closest to Kelly. If the other viewers are not deaf.....Kelly will be gone tomorrow & I will do a victory dance.
I think you're right. But Pickler's fan base is eroding--if she's not gone tonight, then hopefully she's next.
