**American Idol Finals: Classic Love Songs

[OldYoda]

Tonight's theme is classic love songs and the coach for our finalists is Andrea Bocelli. I look for another good week for everyone - with a knockout performance by Kat.

I think with past voting patterns starting to emerge that Elliot and Paris are the likely bottom two. What do you think?

This week is a deal breaker for Chris. If he can sing any of Bocelli's songs, I'd be surprised, and I will likely lose a lot of $.

[Jesse Kidd]

He doesn't have to sing Bocelli's songs, just a "Classic Love Song."

As I understand it, Bocelli is simply the coach - they don't actually have to sing Bocelli songs. They can select any classic love song. I think on that basis that Chris should have a good night.

there are plenty of classic rock love songs for chris to choose from.

Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn

Anyone have any advance idea of what the kids are singing tonight?

[Jurollo]

Not yet. Leaks normally start flowing in around this time though.

I agree that Elliot and Paris are the frontrunners to go home, and if there is a shocker, it will be Kat. Based on the odds, Elliot is a much better deal than Paris right now, so I have some Elliot and a tiny bit of Kat now, and will likely pick up some Paris after I see the performances and polling.

I expect Chris to surge this week, probably top 2 highest votes. A small chance of beating Taylor for the top spot this week, simply due to the rebound from the "shocking" bottom 3 appearance last time, similar to the rebound that Kat got the week after her "shocking" bottom 3 appearance. These are temporary moves, though, and others' fanbases would push them back above Chris if they were mobilized, and after the initial Chris B3 shock wears off. Taylor would retain the long-term voting lead, and Kellie would return to placing higher than Chris, probably as soon as next week imo.

But this week, I expect Chris to surge up sharply in voting, and perhaps market value also, not quite sure about that.

I heard from somewhere (no link, so take this with a grain of salt) that Chris would be singing Chris Isaak's Wicked Game.
