i don't see how paris is going to survive tomorrow. interesting that the producer had nothing bad to say other than "soften it a bit at the beginning" while he was ripping everybody else apart. she a great talent, but she needs some experience in getting people to like her.

one of kat's dress buttons snapped when she moved forward toward the end of the song.

anybody else notice the producer continuing after "it could be great if chris does the performance of his life"? he says "BUT..." and it was muted, pretty funny.

i still see it going chris / taylor / kat / kellie / elliot / paris. elliot and kellie can switch, so can chris and taylor. this has been my order for many weeks.

chris needs some good songs to win, taylor might win by default otherwise. but there's a decent chance of a good song, and i think the final 2 night could be particularly good for him if it still goes "1 idol-made song, 1 judge choice, 1 contestant choice". the judges will probably pick something crappy for taylor that might play TOO much to his personality, and chris can play the fuel (hemorrhage) card at a clutch point in the competition. i'm actually thinking that higher ground might be a better choice though, he's overcemented the rock thing and he could use an upbeat song to match taylor.

kellie is sliding and elliot is rising. if kellie is actually shaken over any of this she's done next week, but if she can pull some charm back i'm pretty sure that she's got a huge group of people voting for her.

elliot is my favorite, but $5 isn't a bad selling price for him. kellie is at $5 too, another decent exit value.
