Ace is attractive, you know he has the girls' vote. It shouldn't be that much of a shocker

The only real surprise to me was that Lisa was in the bottom 3. That definitely should have been Kevin.
What would be really funny is if Kevin goes on to win it all I wonder how many records he would actually sell. |

Kevin probably has geek friends that know how to hack the phone system and thats probably why he keeps getting the votes.

I'm totally with you here. This is the first season that I have watched more than an episode here and there and to me Simon seems to be the only one that truely understands what it is going to take to make a star. I find myself wanting to fast forward past Paula and Randy and their useless comments to hear what Simon has to say. Not because he's mean and it's funny, but because he has actual insight.

I've found that 90% of the time, Simon is echoing exactly what I've just told my wife (or screamed at the TV) moments earlier. Which is to say - the guy's completely OTM.

I think its because Randy and Paule tend to judge contestants relative to each other whereas Simon is judging them relative to what he thinks it takes to be a star. To Simon there is a certain threshold you need to reach to be great and anything less than that is terrible.

Randy is very sensitive to the crowd's reaction. If you can peg how much the audience likes the performance, you have a good idea of how Randy will react.
Simon, on the other hand, seems to enjoy tweaking the crowd. Paula is on some sort of magic drug cocktail, and it's just a matter of time before she breaks down, most likely on live television, and morphs into the DVD of Dorian Grey right before our eyes. |

Simon Cowell predicts top three 'Idols'
NEW YORK, March 17 (UPI) -- "American Idol" judge Simon Cowell predicts the final three in this season's finals will be Chris Daughtry, Taylor Hicks and Kellie Pickler. Cowell made his prediction for the Fox TV talent competition during a Thursday telephone conversation broadcast on Howard Stern's Sirius satellite radio show, the New York Post reported Friday. "Let me tell you who's gonna be in the finals," Cowell said. "The bald-headed kid (Daughtry) and the guy with gray hair (Hicks)." A few minutes later, he added, "I think the top three will be the two I mentioned and Kellie Pickler." Around this time last year, Cowell correctly predicted Carrie Underwood would take the crown, the newspaper noted. |

I think he is wrong on this one. Pickler is not a strong enough a singer. Underwood isn't either, but she's stronger than Pickler and didn't have as good competition. I'd be surprised if she's top 5 at this point.

Only one got voted off last week? You mean there's still 10 more weeks of this thing?

McPhee, as great as she is, is prone to weeksof bad song choice and/or blah performance, even if her vocals remain spot-on. She likely won't make top 3. I have no confidence in a voting public that robs us of Becky O'Donoughue after 1 week, but leaves us to suffer with Covais week after week.
And yes, Bucc, the finals of this thing aren't until the end of May!

Before the 50s theme was announced, rumor was Bucky doing an Elvis song, so this fits. Apparently it may be Jailhouse Rock, which should be bad enough in a "John Stevens does Crocodile Rock" way to send Bucky home. This is probably right up Covais' alley, unfortunately. White boys don't sound much whiter than those who sang in the 50s.

Other rumor is Taylor doing a Buddy Holly song. Apparently they sent the whole crew to Vegas to see Barry Manilow (who not so coincidentally has that new 50s covers album out). I'll be biting my Barbra Streisand paint-on nails in anticipation...

On Bucky: Agree with you KSyrup. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I like him, I'm saying he's a train-wreck waiting to happen..
Taylor doing Buddy Holly could be great. I'm a pretty big Buddy Holly fan and I think it could suit him. I heard on the radio that there will be a live performance from Manilow.

Just like with Stevie Wonder, I'm sure Wednesday's "let's kill 28 minutes before we vote someone off" show will include a Manilow performance. He already worked the Dancing With Stars show, and that resulted in a #1 album the next week. This is where AI turns into the type of show I really have little interest in watching, apart from the actual performances. Too bad they have to ruin even that with crap music.

This is my first season watching the show, and I've already decided I will only watch the results show if I happen to be sitting at the TV or if I think someone is getting kicked off that I have an interest in seeing them perform again.

Mandisa - I didn't really pay attention. I assume it was a good performance since people clapped. Paula was taken back to the 50's even though she was never there in the first place. Simon is again scared to say anything bad about he since he called her fat.

Paris - OK. i think she was a bit low on the song. Too raspy. She's too young for the song, wasn't sultry enough. I sat the whole time thinking "what if mcphee sang this...". Best i remember of the night though.

That wasn't so great by Kathrine, not bad, but not great. But I am sure the guys are going to vote for her regardless.
