He was in the bottom 3 twice, the same amount of times as Paris. I thought Elliott was really good. As always he is going to be criticized by people either way - if he just stands there, he will be "boring", and if he moves around, he's "cheesy". He's my favorite, by far, and I hope he can stay a while longer. He's got a great personality (regardless of what Simon says) and is an amazing singer. ]]> 354962@blogcritics.org Thu, 20 Apr 2006 18:22:03 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/04/19/092434.php#comment-354397 ..."but apparently America likes its music with a bit of cheese." I love cheese, especially smoked Gouda; with wine. mmm-mmm-mmmm Regarding Hicks, I knew the moment he opened his mouth "the where and the what" - stopping him will be like stopping...the SOoooooUL TRAIN (you remember that show - ???) ]]> 354397@blogcritics.org Wed, 19 Apr 2006 22:00:45 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/04/19/092434.php#comment-354396 Well, this week Chris was in the bottom 2, and Hicks had the most votes...well, we do have a few more weeks; possibly a Katherine and Hicks show down in order? ]]> 354396@blogcritics.org Wed, 19 Apr 2006 21:55:31 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/04/19/092434.php#comment-354389 I won't spoil the result for people, but what about that bottom 3? Can't wait to see what the remaining six do with classic love songs. ]]> 354389@blogcritics.org Wed, 19 Apr 2006 21:35:09 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/04/19/092434.php#comment-354363 Hey ty youo think taylor and chris are the only ones doding well enough to be the top two. think again. even though he isnt the best everyone loves ace and kelly and they also have a good chance. you are right about paris though. she needs to go. ]]> 354363@blogcritics.org Wed, 19 Apr 2006 20:28:33 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/04/19/092434.php#comment-354306 THANK YOU SAL M!!! COULDN'T AGREE MORE!!! Paris has been needing to go for quite some time. Did you see how her mom was there with Rod Stewart? I told my wife, "Where is her grandma? Does Rod know her granny?" Ace, Paris, and Elliott in the bottom 3, PARIS WILL FINALLY GO HOME TONIGHT. She has to. Yeah she wasn't the worst, she was pretty good, but she doesn't belong here. If we are to have a Chris vs. Taylor final (The dream final for many), the SOONER PARIS LEAVES, THE BETTER. ]]> 354306@blogcritics.org Wed, 19 Apr 2006 18:18:35 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/04/19/092434.php#comment-354048 At least Kellie's butcher job made me feel better. Y'see, the past few weeks I actually thought her performances were decent after not liking her for the weeks leading up to them. It scared me. I hate ditz and she's the Epitome of Ditz. Thank heavens she screwed up last night before I actually went the leap to think she could be decent! I personally would like last night's performance to do her in, though I also want Ace gone. With the Kellie Focus and the sob story, I feel it's going to be hard for some people to stop voting for her. At least with Ace, it's only looks keeping him in -- much easier to oust than a Woe Is Me, I'm Such a Country Bumpkin Ditz persona. As long as one of them goes away this week, I'll be happy. ]]> 354048@blogcritics.org Wed, 19 Apr 2006 12:20:05 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/04/19/092434.php#comment-354036 I thought Paris did quite well yesterday. She's phenomenally talented, but scary too, like some old alien creature in the body of a perky teenager. And yes, she already has connections, but fear not, I doubt she'll win. That'll be Chris, Taylor, or McPhee (who's good, but not as good as she or Simon think). ]]> 354036@blogcritics.org Wed, 19 Apr 2006 11:31:21 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/04/19/092434.php#comment-354035 Thanks SteveS... ]]> 354035@blogcritics.org Wed, 19 Apr 2006 11:28:31 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/04/19/092434.php#comment-354033 I love this review, I can find nothing to disagree with. ]]> 354033@blogcritics.org Wed, 19 Apr 2006 11:25:43 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/04/19/092434.php#comment-354031 I think Simon and Ryan should give the air time to the American Idol finalists and quit with badgering each other just to up the ratings! Let the "American Idols" sing! ]]> 354031@blogcritics.org Wed, 19 Apr 2006 11:25:36 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/04/19/092434.php#comment-354029 I would watch that movie. :-) But seriously, it will be an injustice of some kind if she isn't kicked off tonight. I would just rather see Ace go first. ]]> 354029@blogcritics.org Wed, 19 Apr 2006 11:23:03 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/04/19/092434.php#comment-354028 I'm talking about Kellie Pickler in case the "anal loving porn star in the making" didn't give it away. ]]> 354028@blogcritics.org Wed, 19 Apr 2006 11:21:02 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/04/19/092434.php#comment-354026 I would much prefer to see anal loving porn star in the making kicked off more so than Ace. But I'm sure that lying whore will sail thru another week with her "poor me" put on. She certainly knows how to work it. Part of me actually wants to see her win just so that shortly thereafter, she get's butchered by the media and her career fails miserably. Now that's something I would LOVE to see. ]]> 354026@blogcritics.org Wed, 19 Apr 2006 11:19:57 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/04/19/092434.php#comment-354023 i'm fed up with paris...i still think there's something not right with her involvement in the show given her connections...and even though 99% of us had never heard of her grandmother before this show - or knew she was in the group sounds of blackness - i get the feeling that the fix is in with the judges...she peaked during her audition and when she did motown...she's been average at best ever since. back to grandma...when i signed on to itunes yesterday who do you think has a new release prominently placed on the itunes homepage? why none other than ann nesby herself, paris' grandma...fishy anyone? shameless exploitation? ]]> 354023@blogcritics.org Wed, 19 Apr 2006 11:06:11 EDT
