More Idol Thoughts

Welp, little Mikalah's gone. Pretty much what I expected. In the preliminary rounds she turned in some good performances, and at least one extraordinary performance ("God Bless the Child") a few weeks ago, but she's been a train wreck ever since. So, no real surprises so far.

It's gonna be killer to see what the remaining ten contestants pull out in the coming weeks.

I'm standing by my predictions: the likely final two are still at this point Bo and Nadia, but there's plenty of time for them to bomb out and someone else to turn it up a few notches.

Going in though, I bet that unless Nikko stuns everyone, he's gone next week.

Who were the bottom three?

I am busy watching NCAA Tournament action.

Bottom 3 were Mikalah, Nadia, and Anthony, in that order.

Nadia had best not do such a weak song next week.

Sounds like everyone agrees on Anthony: he's good but no one's excited by him.

Nikko and Anthony are the two weakest remaining competitors. Once those two are gone, I wouldn't be upset if any of the remaining contestants ultimately won.

Although my money is on Bo and Carrie being the final two, with Carrie ultimately winning. Well, not actual real money, but you know what I mean.

Obviously, much will depend on their future performances, so any predictions could easily fly out the window.

Yeah, that's what makes it so interesting, isn't it?

I think Nadia sucks. She won't last much longer. My pick for the final 2 is Bo &Carrie, with Bo winning. America ain't gonna crown a country singer at Idol champ.

My rooting (voting) interests are Anthony, Carrie &Scott. I only like Scott because his step father thinks he is a loser and won't amount to anything. He went on Idol to prove him wrong.

I thought Anthony was going to win at first, but he has been picking some real weak songs. It should be interesting.. I think Nikko is gone next week, followed by Scott or Constantine..
