American Idol - Top 5

So, Billboard night. Um, PARIS WAS BORN THE YEAR AFTER I GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL and WTF - CHRIS DAUGHTRY WAS BORN IN 19FRIGGIN79! Sigh. They need to cut it with the "Year You Were Born" crap. It makes me feel old.

All I know is that this was the best night of American Idol since the top 12 hit the stage, and not because of the performances. It's because KELLIE PICKLER WAS NOT THERE. Now, if we could just get rid of Paris, all would be right with the world.

Quick thoughts: Katharine sucked, but the brown dress and shoes were perfection. I'm starting to turn on her a bit, because of the more frequent appearance of her pretentious, better-than-you attitude, which MarisaBFF called long ago. I don't care for that.

Love the Elliott, even though I was overly critical of his performance of Michael Buble's Home. I shan't bore you with my dissertation on why Michael Buble is the greatest singer/performer since Frank Sinatra, so let's move on.

Chris, though still a one-trick pony, rocked it out, and hard. Love. Him. Not sure I would buy tickets to see him in concert on his own, because it's not my kind of music, but I still want him in the top two.

Paris. Singing Prince. No.

TAYLOR! SOUL PATROL! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Oh my god, I was manic just watching him! He must win! MUST! Not only does he have a great time performing, BITCH CAN SING! His version of the Beatles' Something was one of the best performances Idol has ever seen. SOUL PATROL! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! And the Play That Funky Music White Boy shirt was HOTTT! SOUL PATROL! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! But the best? His little chuckle over Ryan's "happy endings" comment. HA! SOUL PATROL! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I fear that Elliott might be voted off, but I'm hoping that the Dialidol predictions are correct and Paris Boop will be sent packing!

SOUL PATROL! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I think I've mentioned before that I don't watch too much AI this season, but I see enough of it to know that (1) Taylor is my favorite, but they need to do something about the lighting that keeps giving him seizures, and (2) I cannot take Elliot seriously for the simple fact that he looks like Mr. Tumnus from The Chronicles of Narnia. I promise, under his outfit, there are goat legs and hooves. Really, the others pretty much just bore me when they sing.
