Katharine McPhee took the stage next. She still reminds me of Valerie Bertinelli. Her song was "Since I Fell For You" originally sung by Barbra Streisand. Oh, nice. Her movements are a bit jerky, but I think it's a fantastic performance. Paula was up and dancing. Randy says wow. He thinks it was great! Paula is happy. Simon puts her as the best of the "four really good vocalists." Me? I think it's a tie between her and Lisa.
My predictions for voted off tonight? Stevie Scott and (hopefully) Brenna Gethers. Am I wrong? What did you think of the show?
A few sidenotes come to mind. I think Ryan Seacrest is less cheesy this season. It's too bad he's no taller than in previous seasons. I also think I'm going to eventually write up exactly why I enjoy Simon Cowell. If nothing else, perhaps I could use it for reference if there's a question regarding my sanity or lack thereof. Not that there would ever be such a question, mind you.

Katharine was awesome last night! I think her and Chris will be in the finals.

OOPs, I meant Katharine McPhee

Chad -- I think Katharine really rocked last night, too. I liked her okay before last night's show, but she really was impressive in her solo. Although I'm putting Lisa right up there with her, I'm sure she's clinching the Final 6 Girls. Thanks for the site link -- I'll check it out!

The girls are really strong this year. I don't any of the guys even coming close to touching the talent that's in the girls this year.

Greasy Guide -- I don't know... some of the guys are getting a good Internet buzz. Ace has a very polished professional feel to his performances and I'm very interested to see where Taylor Hicks is going to go with his stuff. I'll be posting entries here and on my own blog (see URL) after the guys sing tonight. I could revert to my childhood and root for the Peter Brady lookin' Will Makar, but I won't.

Paris and Katharine are the two I've been watching out for since the auditions. I am glad to see they're doing so well. Lisa is good too, but something about her just doesn't excite me like Paris does.
If I picked who leaves for the gals? Brenna and Becky.

I can't argue with that, -E. My fear is that votes might keep Brenna on. Eep!

I disagree on Paris and Lisa. I liked Paris' performance more than Lisa but you were right on target with the rest.
