Okay, I've watched my tape of last night's show, and I agree with TeKay: if you count Mikalah out of this, the remaining ten are -- as a whole -- the strongest group we've ever had. About the only ones I'm comfortable with predicting will not go all the way are Mikalah and Scott; there are several extreme longshots among the rest, but no clear deadweight. (Granted, Bo should beat Constantine, but an upset is not inconceivable... and if the former weren't in the competition, the latter would actually be looking pretty decent.)
Anyway. There's no question that Mikalah should go this week. No question at all. But I'm going to stick to my guns and suppose that we're not going to get that lucky, because... well, just because. Especially after finding out that a certain friend of sockgirlie's actually voted repeatedly for John Stevens last season just to continue everybody's torment.
Whom I'm voting for, barring some unexpected reason not to in tonight's show: Vonzell. Simon was exactly right in that she wasn't even on my radar before... but I thought her performance was definitely the night's best.
Other random observations: I wish Simon hadn't pinned a giant target onto Carrie. And Paula was so totally flying without wings. Pain pills, perhaps...
Anyway, I'll have my predictions in the relevant entry shortly. And, incidentally, in the unlikely event that anything happens tonight that you think might skew the voting, feel free to submit a modified entry before tomorrow night's show.

Posted by: sockgirlie at March 23, 2005 6:57 PMHa! I laughed too...but I admire his guts! I actually liked it in some strange way...
As for Paula, there is an "American Idol Discussion" thread on a certain bands' message board and there are some people really laying it on, saying she's on something... I don't know what to think, but she has been colourful this season! (and yes, she has seemed a bit flavoured too!)
WTF? I'm sorry to double post, but I just noticed that I show up as "Jesseguts!" in my previous post...
I was wondering what happened to my cursor when I was typing that Constantine has guts! OOPSIE!!!!
I feel dumb again. But dammit, that is hilarious.
My new name, Jesseguts! Woohoo! I am so very much too easily amused! ;P
Umm... GO CARRIE!
Posted by: Jesse at March 23, 2005 7:47 PMWhat happened on the show last night. I stopped watching because I had some other business to take care of, and then just deleted the whole program. Sounds like things got fun.
Posted by: TeKay at March 24, 2005 5:46 PMTeKay- They basically showed the original performances, stating that the conestants were to be judged on those.
They had the judges give their opinions again, and had some of the contestants give their own opinions as well.
I just watched my tape of the results show, and since it hasn't been mentioned here, I will bite my tongue. My reviews are in my blog! :)
