Love? Lord above!

Ryan got a hair cut and is clean shaven and therefore looks about 22. Youngest fascist ever, and he earned his keep bringing the show in on time. Then again, he's the one who let Elliott and Kellie go long. And yes, Simon is a child, but at least he got over that pout.

Andrea Bocelli and David Foster? gah. Where's my insulin? At least we didn't have that stupid sing in. I can't believe he's showing them how to warm their voices up. I mean, seriously.

1. Katharine, "I Have Nothing." What happened at the start there? So ladyjaida and I were talking and okay, Kat was stunning, and great stage craft. I don't completely agree with the judges, but I do think that big big songs are not really where her future is, and she would have been better with something really intimate. That said, I don't think she's gone this week because the judges were so harsh on her, which will bring out the loyal.
   
2. Elliott, "A Song for You." First, what is with the Stephen-from-Top-Chef tie? Elliott was brilliant, just amazing, and I am voting for him 20 times. I hope he can stick and that Paula wasn't just crying because she thinks it's his week.
   
3. Kellie, "Unchained Melody." I start by saying that I fucking cannot stand this song. That said, she was pretty awful at the beginning, boring through the middle, and she seriously did not bring it. Paula and Simon were 100% right, she didn't bring it to the next level and she had no passion at all. Maybe two weeks means she's gone?
   
4. Paris, "The Way We Were." What was with the Gladys Knight in the "That's What Friends Are For" hairstyle? Between that and the faux-Chanel jacket she looked 40 and Jaida noted that she sounded 50.
   
5. Taylor, "Just Once." You know, I was at the market today and they were playing "Stay With Me Tonight" and I thought, I used to say that no one could tell the difference between Jeffrey Osborne, Peabo Bryson, and James Ingrahm. Of course, it doesn't matter if Taylor is singing the song, because then everything sounds like Michael McDonald anyway. Seriously dull, crappy lighting that him look horrible and what the ass was that jacket? Can you wear velvet without a tie?
   
6. Chris, "Have You Ever Loved a Woman." Fucking A, Chris. Some bullshit Bryan Adams movie song? I guess he really finally decided to give up on that cred thing. I really can't say much about his performance; I mean, he sounded great but who cares?

I voted 10 on the Paula Drunkometer because dude, what was WITH that crying.

See, this is why it was annoying when for the last few weeks people have been voting 8 or whatever because dude, leave room for the total meltdown! If she can still speak, it isn't much.

So the Ch 5 news says that she's not talking to Ryan and he doesn't really know why! Fascinating!

I voted retrospectively on your little poll. I'm so glad Kellie is gone! She has looked so horrible for the past couple of weeks. All that blush and her hair, what a disaster.

It was a trifecta in reality-land: Kellie on AI, Nnenna on ANTM, and Stephen on Top Chef. Awesome.

She really just sort of fell apart. In the end she didn't have the chops and everyone knew it. It's like Paula said: she didn't step it up to the next level and everyone else did. Including, I'm very pleased to say, Elliott. He's really turned it on in the last two weeks.
