I didn't care for the Beatles thing either, especially not two weeks of it. I guess the other music would be OK if they did update it some. And there are some talented enough to do that, like David Cook, Chris Daughtery and the beat boxer from last year (although that spitting/sputtering stuff got old for me too).

I started watching election coverage last night and forgot to switch channels until Idol was almost half over. Who had a bad night? Brooke?

Brooke forgot her lyrics and started over-big no-no from Paula, but Randy and Simon said she did exactly the right thing by starting over. Syesha and David Cook got great reviews. Carly held up a tshirt that said Simon Likes Me (this week) after her reviews. David Archuletta did OK, and had a bunch of young girls come up on stage to hug him before he started. David Castro didn't get good reviews. I think it will be between David Castor and Brooke tonight as to who goes. I would rather see David Castro go myself-everything does have that "luau" tone to it.

Brooke has always been my favorite, but I have never thought she was the most talented of the bunch. I kind of like Castro's style. It definitely is a laid back breezy kind of performance. Not sure I could listen to a whole CD by the guy though. I did catch Cook's performance and that was very different for him. He has an amazing voice and is more flexible than I originally thought.

Who will get kicked off tonight?

I'm gonna say Brooke. I like all of the remaining contestants, so no matter who goes, it's going to be sad.

Yeah, I like them all too and each is different. Probably be between Brooke, dread lock boy and tattoo woman.

I'm thinking the three girls will be bottom 3 tonight. But I thought Michael Johns would be one of the final 2, so what do I know?

That was a big surprise when Johns got the boot. Not as big as the year Chris Daughtry got kicked off though. I think every one's jaw hit the floor on that one.

I missed that jaw dropper. I didn't start watching until late season 2006(the last couple of shows). Now I hate that I missed all those seasons, and I'll never miss it again, if I can help it.
