American Idol 7

[ComradesTrue]

Alright. Either AI needs to hire a new wardrobe consultant, or I have not only fallen off the fashion train, but rolled down the hill and landed in the gutter.

Seriously. What was with the outfits that Rocker David, Michael, and Cupcake were wearing? Rocker David and Michael looked ridiculous and Cupcake just looked... well... frumpy. If the looks of Rocker Dave and Michael are truly in style then I will live blissfully retro in my more tasteful outfits.

And Paula. Good Lord. Are her boobs sore today? What in the heck was going on there? It was liked she was squishing the holy heck out of them.

As for the performances. Sigh, yes. David Cook did not "bring it" at all. (I attribute this to he was as mortified of his outfit as I was for him.) Definitely the worst performance of the evening, but... I am confident that he has the fan base to let this one slide.

Carly- you scared me. As we watched, my husband and I commented that she was screaming waaay too much and just seemed, well, angry. Funny that Simon had the same take. Bottom Three.

Syesha- "I Believe?" Are you kidding? Let's ignore for a moment that Fantasia sang that song *when she won*... instead let's focus on what a miserably horrible song it is to start with. I feel like I should be watching credits roll after a Disney movie when I hear it. You will find yourself in the bottom three.

Kristy Lee- she definitely had some awful performances early on, but I will say that when she keeps it country, the girl can sing. I can't believe I am saying this, but it was maybe the best performance of the night (!!).

Brooke- yes, I would pay to go listen to you sing (in a small, intimate setting) if you keep it jazzy/bluesy. I like the raspy quality of your voice, and do think there is a (small) niche for you. But, I must give my props to nittanyalum... she called it long before I did. Here goes: Brooke- I am just starting to find you annoying. Please stop talking.

It seems like last year they did not kick anyone off the week of Idol Gives Back. I don't feel like counting weeks left in the season to see if the same will be true this week. However, if there are any anal-retentive folks out there who are up for figuring that out, please pass it on!

But, if this is an elimination week, then here are my thoughts...

My prediction is that Carly, Syesha and Brooke will be in the bottom 3, and of those I am praying that it will be Syesha that gets the boot. Also, if KLC is somehow spared a bottom-dwelling spot this week, would the producers PLEASE let her know this early on, so that she can enjoy her week on the couch? Never once has the poor girl been able to spend any relaxing time over there!!!
