"American Idol" viewers have finally confounded the heretofore peerless dialidol.com, giving Kellie "I'm a mink!" Pickler the heave-ho, rather than Paris Bennett. (There is a God!)
Katharine McPhee joined Chris Daughtry as one of the top-two vote-getters, despite dialidol.com's prediction that she would end up in no better than third place.
Meanwhile, bloggist Kenneth Hill goes out on a limb, predicting an upset victory by the sheep-vibratoed Elliott Yamin.
Turns out, the limb he's on belongs to the ugly tree, and Elliott hit every branch on the way down. I don't think Elliott has quite made the physical transformation that Kenneth sees (his "cute factor"?), although there have been improvements, especially dentally. But I don't know how you fix the way Elliott goes cock-eyed every time he grins.
Money quote from Kenneth on Paula's bizarre crying jag after Elliott sang on Tuesday:
She's so sensitive at the moment, I think she must feel air molecules colliding with her skin.
Has there ever been a potential "Idol" outcome so up in the air with five contestants left? Has it ever been so possible to care less?
By the way, did y'all catch the sadder acoustic version of Daniel Powter's "Bad Day" during Kellie's highlights montage video? Does that mean Chris will get a death-metal version when he gets voted off?
Chris!?!? Voted off? I hope he wins over the other two guys. Although I wouldn't mind seeing Paris or Katharine winning either. But, if I could see Chris sing Kelly Clarkson's Breakaway I would be happy with good instrumentation of course. Also, when do we get to hear new songs? Did Kelly get to sing any of her songs on Idol before winning? Do the final two get to sing new songs? I don't really know what's supposed to happen from here...

As long as
TaylorTwitchHicksTicks doesn't win...Posted by: Queer Conservative | April 27, 2006 at 02:56 PM
i'm still inclined to think that dialidol had it right. they predicted that both kellie and paris were liable to get the boot and they were both in the 'bottom two' .. as for the other two groups, and knowing how the producers have that site stuck in their craw after unsuccessfully trying to shut it down, my impression was that they took one contestant from column A and one from column B and paired them up, declaring one pair 'the highest'
which is their perogative according to the disclaimer (no one ever sees these votes, after all) plus it takes a poke at the website. on the other hand, i continue to pray that dialidol is wrong about taylor.

I want either Elliot or Katharine to win, both have fantastic voices.

I PRAY THAT ELLIOTT WILL WIN, BY A LONG SHOT, SO HE WILL HAVE THE LAST LAUGH WITH HIS GOLDEN PIPE & I WILL LAUGH ALONG WITH HIM. THE OTHER THREE ARE OK IN THEIR OWN RIGHT, BUT THE ONLY ONE WHO ALWAYS GETS MY GOAT IS ELLIOTT.
HE CAN REALLY SING WITHOUT SCREAMING, FLIRTING, OR JUMPING TO GET NOTICE. HE KNOWS WHO HE IS & HE'S TRUE TO HIMSELF. VOTE FOR ELLIOTT, ELLIOTT'S FAN. IN TWO HOURS, EACH ONE OF US SHOULD VOTE AT LEAST 300 TIMES. I KNOW SOMEONE IN FLORIDA DID!
