"I still think that Jai is the one to beat for the top prize."
Boy did you get that one wrong! Not that I think you were wrong (Hal should have been dropped along with Cheech) but the people who voted in this thing obviously thought differently.

LOL...you are right Brent!! I think that's why these types of shows intrigue me so much...the difference between what I think and what the viewing public thinks.
Still, I do feel that Jai was the best on the show, always consistent in bringing his top game to each performance...which didn't give him much room for improvement. Sometimes that factors into the end results...you just never know.
Thanks for reading...I look forward to hearing what you think about the final two shows next week.

I think America is deaf in one ear, lucy Lawless is an awful singer. Her voice lacks character and is extremly thin. Jai should have stayed, he actually has a great voice. I wish he would have sang Over the Rainbow instead of Lady Marmalade that night.

Ash, Hi! As you can tell, I do love the Jai too, but Lucy wasn't all that bad to me, looked like she was giving it her best shot each time up at bat which goes a long way in my book. Not J-Rod quality of course, still...
looking forward to hearing what you think about next week's shows...

"Lady Marmalade" was not Patti LaBelle & Wayne Brady's duet, it was the song Jai and Patti LaBelle sang together, the first song of the night. Patti came back to sing "All Alone" with Wayne Brady and they REALLY smoked it and yes, the audience was screaming because of Ms. Patti's vocal chops and Wayne was great, too. They could have released it as a single.

Thanks for pointing that out, Monte4amy!!! The powers-that-be here at BC have done their magic and fixed my error.
I agree with you, that was a killer duet. I'm hoping, since American Idols Simon Cowell is exec. prod. on Celebrity Duets, that he'll take another page out of the A.I. book and release some of the best songs from the season on cd.
Thanks for reading, too!!
