**American Idol The Top 3

[Jesse Kidd]

So, what do you guys think is the good pre-show bet? I picked up a decent amount of Kat to leave at 35 which I'm happy about, as she has trended up slightly through the week.

Taylor is a cert to win IMO. Get your money on now if you haven't already.

I'm not sure there is such a thing.

I would not be surprised at all to see both of the final two idols trading at 60 or higher at different times before the final results show.

The song choices are a lot less important than everyone seems to be giving them credit for IMO. Anything can happen and no one is a "lock" to win or go home at this point.

Elliot.

ARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH.

Not goot enough there. Strike one.

Elliott took a rock song I don't like and made me like it. I thought it was on the border between just ok and pretty helpful.

I didn't like the fact that it seemed like he said the words "Open Arms" out of tempo, a little ahead of where it belonged. He did it twice so I guess it was intentional.

Elliott kinda missed on that one.

He will have to do better to move on with Taylor. Taylor's song choices fit his vocal style perfectly...

Guys,

Keep the updates flowing. And promise me if that the unthinkable happens and Taylor seems to be in grave danger of not making the final (touch wood!), that you will all vote 50 times. Thanks!

Kat's first song was all over the place. She started strong when she was just singing it, but the end was a mess. Hard to really rate that as anything but average. For once, Randy didn't like, Simon did. Usually other way around.

So I think its safe to say this the last time Bruce will ever let AI do his song.
