Moving on! The bottom three were Brooke White, Kristy Lee Cook, and Ramiele Malubay. Does this mean, could it possibly be, that I had the correct bottom three in the correct order this week? Yes, yes it does. I feel vindicated - sort of. So, who was leaving the show?
Ramiele Malubay. And for just a second, I was satisfied with the outcome. But then, because I'm a softie, Ramiele's tears got to me and I felt bad for her. On the other hand, it was definitely her time (if not past her time), and at least this week, I feel like the voting got it right. Besides, she'll be on tour this summer, so I didn't feel bad for that long.
We get three nights of Idol next week. Tuesday the top eight perform, Wednesday is Idol Gives Back, and Thursday is the results show. We're down to eight — who do you think will be the next to leave? Let me know your thoughts!

Tracy,
Nice write-up and your observations regarding Ramiele were on target. She's beaten the odds for more than enough weeks and it finally caught up with her. I think Brooke, Kristy, Sayesha, and Jason are next but not necessarily in that order. All are talented but not at an Idol winner level. The four after that are a toss up in my mind. I think David Cook or Michael Johns may follow the Chris Daughtry route and leave around third or fourthh and do better than the winner in the recording business. That leaves Carly Smithson and David Archuleta. Both are very talented and will probably be in the top two but I'm not sure what their niche will be.
Since I was a faithful fan of The Next Greatest American Band show I was a little disappointed that the Clark Brothers played that insane rendition of "Let It Shine". It was like they were attempting to strum their instruments to death. They sang some very moving ballads during the band competition that would have been better suited for an Idol performance.
Grandpa Idol is back!!

Welcome back Grampa! Good to hear you are on the same page as me. I definately agree that Ramiele had overstayed her welcome. It was her time to go. You are also correct in the next batch to go although I would say it is going to be Kristy, Sayesha, Jason then Brook (although Jason's female voters may keep him a little longer and send Brook packing first)
Although Simon likes both Brook and Jason, they are both going.
My vote for the top "dawg" would be that sweet faced David Archuletta. He is so humble and sweet.
I did not care for the Clark Bro's song at all but really enjoyed Dolly.
Well, until next week, this is Sizzlin Sandi signing out.....
