This week's theme surprised me. I love showtunes. I love them a lot. But "Broadway" has been taken as more or less the antithesis of the American Idol ideal since the show started, and it really is a totally different style than pop, rock, or country.
I didn't care for Scott's "The Impossible Dream," but I'm biased; I love the song, and hated the pop arrangement. Anthony, Nikko, and Bo were also pretty weak. (And Bo picked his song at random? What the hell?) I thought the best performance was Constantine's -- I would have voted for him, had I seen the show live -- with Carrie a respectable second place.
And, sorry, Pam, but Constantine made me swoon a bit.
Anyway. I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that Bo goes home this week, partly because it'd be cool if I turned out to be right. (This is independent of my bet-hedging pool prediction.) Otherwise, Anthony, or maybe Scott. Tough one to call, though...
