Caramba!

Okay, I got 2 out of 3 for the Bottom 3. Turns out that this week’s Bottom 3 included Amanda Overmyer (check), Kristy Lee Cook (check), and… Carly Smithson! WHAT?! Okay, her face can get scary when she sings but c’mon! Chikezie over Carly? America got that all wrong.

Bottom 2 included Kristy and Amanda. Kristy has been in the Bottom 2 for so many weeks now, I can’t count anymore. She mentioned this herself. She is DEFINITELY my new Luke Menard. Please just go home. I wouldn’t ask “Why are you still here?” because I know the answer to that. Her get-up yesterday worked – legs, low neckline, and looking pretty… Let’s see how long she will last on this. She can’t keep giving bad performances week after week after week and still hang on. But hey, who knows, she may turn things around next week.

Goodbye Amanda, I knew this was coming. She’s just way too predictable. Oh and if ever (IF EVER) you get the idea of comparing yourself to Chris Daughtry, please, don’t do that to yourself. Because Chris showed his other side. Remember his performance of “Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?”. Yes, exactly.

Moving on to the other portions of the show.  I really HATE the call-in portion, where the fans call to ask questions.  It’s just so forced.   I totally loved Elliot’s trip to Africa.   I love Elliot, and seeing him tear up because of the baby being named after him… that was really moving.   Kellie Pickler – well, I didn’t like her then, I don’t like her now.  Good for her though that she has sold a lot of albums.

Next week should be an interesting week.  Will Kristy Lee Cook finally turn things around?  One good performance from her and I think she’ll stay.  Will Michael Johns finally deliver what’s expected of him?  Will Chikezie’s performance be over the top again?   Will David Archuleta continue to shine?

Based on what we’ve seen so far, I think the Top 4 will include David Archuleta, Jason Castro, David Cook and Brooke White.
