They all did fine. As well they should because by the time it rolls around to the final three the remaining contenders should be comfortable in their skin.
Bo did something brave. He sang a song with no accompaniment. Yes this is daring but frankly I was bored by the song. I imagine myself sitting in a nightclub and a singer comes out to belt out a tune with no backup band. Indeed it's a way to show off our vocal talents but fine entertainment it's not. Still, American Idol IS a contest and in contests and such we must do the brave that we stand out from the rest.
Carrie sang a wonderful song for her choice of the night. Then it is a song I adore and there was the surprise of Carrie not singing a country/western song as her tune.
The Air Supply song "Nothing At All" is not an easy tune to sing. Carrie belted it out, at one point reaching for a long note that was downright scary. I thought she made it happen. Simon thought she pushed it a hair too far.
Alas Vonzell was voted off the following night. But her career is far from over. She's talented, pretty and has a special space for her abilities.
My picks as of now:
2-Bo Bice
1-Carrie Underwood

Great job, Patfish. Really enjoyed your thoughts on The Bachelor. I think you've summed up the finale of every reality show where a guy or girl has to make the "agonizing" choice of picking a girl or guy for... what? No one knows! That's the best part.
I was going to ask when the first gay show of this variety was going to arrive... but I'm pretty sure Bravo did it.
[I can see how that last bit might be seen as a joke as Bravo is sometimes referred to as the Gay Channel, but I am in fact being serious.]
