Mike, looks as if you and I are trying to earn points by counting on a shocking result show. Tried to out smart America for the past 3 weeks and it isn't working b/c the obvious contestant has been eliminated each week. Oh well...had fun trying.

Archuleta missed his boo. Hahaha. I bet Lloyd from Entourage sitting in the front row enjoyed the show.

Bring it on Ms. Hollywood! I've got David A. for the win so it's all or nothing for me.

Maybe now that I shamed Jim in this competition he'll take me on my long deserved golf outing. P.S. nowhere better for a good cigar than on the links, and I happen to have a couple. I'M IN THE MONEY, I'M IN THE MONEY!!

Anyone that has one, can they please bring it to my house and stab me in the ears with it so I don't have to listen to Fantasia....They can take my eyes out too so I don't have to see the dancing.

Is that all she can do, SCREAM???? Why in the world did she ever win?????? Syesha is 100 times more talented than she is, for goodness sakes, I am more talented...

I want to vote for who I want to see leave. Yet I want to vote for who I think will leave. What to do ... what do do ... ahhhh!! Oh well, I can only change my mind so many more times before it is locked in and then there is no going back. LOL I have a feeling I am going to blow this one.

Reminder to those that have not paid yet - please pay asap!!!

It writes itself. When do we get to see everyones selection for their American Idol winner prediction?

I say this because I strongly feel that the finale is going to be a battle of the David's, eventhough Syesha Mercado seems to be the best vocalist of the three. Having said that, I think she's leaving us tonight!!! An idol second in it's history - two males in the finale. These two are nothing like Reuben and Clay! But don't worry Syesha, I'll buy your album!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Bobka is traveling around the world on his bicyle and needs to vote and cannot remember his password so his lovely wife is unable to vote for him.

He is humbly asking to have his vote off submitted at 7:08 PM Eastern Standard Time, even though I'm not quite sure what time it is where he is, hmmm?

Anyway, his pick for tonights BOOT is Syesha. Big surprise huh?

My mission is complete...

Ok, I first voted Syesha, then changed to David C., now I am back to Syesha again. I swear if David C. gets voted off, I am going to be so annoyed...I was thinking there could be an upset, but then I started thinking about where Jason's votes are going to go. Then I realized, those little tweener girls are going to distribute them between the David's and not Syesha. That was the realization that finally got me to change back to Syesha. Whoo Hooo! Happy voting!

I'm praying for an upset tonight...David A. needs to go!....please!!

Where is everyone? Are you all giving up and letting me creep up like a dark horse? Then again, doing the math, there will be no crawling or creeping for me. Personally, I was astonished to hear the judges make a point of saying the 2 David's would make the cut-off. I feel they are a bit biased! I probably should vote one of the David's off to secure my LAST PLACE!! Hasn't been easy to be wrong week .. after week .. after week .. etc. You get the point!!
Paula

How come everyone else in this group thinks they are smarter than me, just because they are smarter than me? : ) I'm still holding up the bottom of the heap.

I guess I should clear that up a bit. Do you see any of the final 3 as a pop idol? Lets look to the past for a second. Kelly Clarkson is the only winner to become a pop music idol. Carrie Underwood, country star; Rueben Stoddard(so popular I don't how to spell his name) eating star!, Gray haired guy - not sure what he's doing. Fantasia - Broadway(not pop star). Jordin Sparks is making it as a pop star too(forgot her). These 3 left are not going to be pop stars. I believe David C. is the most talented today. He will follow in Daughtry's steps and become successful in his own way. Syesha - Broadway is calling come on down. David A. (I don't get why people goosh over him?) Mark my words, unless he gets a great talent team behind him, you will see his cd's on TBS, David A Love Ballads #1, along with Barry Mannilo. He tried to do an upbeat song last night and failed. You notice how Randy gave Syesha a song just right for her. Paula, please, gave David A. the easiest song for his style. Then Finally, Simon decides to challenge David C. with a females song and He still pulled it off. If the other two had been challenged at all they would have flopped! I also predict that the battle will be between the Davids. , and guess what, David A already has the upper hand. Why? you ask. The last song is provided by a writing contest, and in the past, it was a sappy emotional ballad. Hmm? Think David A. can handle that one? I just hope the voters can see that what Simon says is right! :)

Did anyone besides Nick and me see the woman holding that sign in the audience? Yikes! And for those of you who are not familiar with the current-day meaning of 'Cougar'... well I just have two words for ya... Ashton and Demi. And if you are still scratching your heads than I will defer to Nick for the full definition!

So where do I start - Randy Randy Randy... ranked poor Syesha "No. 3" of the final three American Idol contestants (lets wait for results show before telling America what the show has planned), Paula off the happy drugs for one night and double dosed on bad girl pills, "pu puing" everyone’s performance and Simon being so biased - making sure that his money maker David Cook will be in the finals - claiming how wonderful he was. I can’t believe I am about to say this – but American Idol has been terrible, frankly, the one thing I am really going to miss is the great comedy and sarcasm from this group. Thanks for making my Wednesdays and Thursdays so funny!

(not that anyone cares, but:) i will NOT be watching next season. thank you!
