What was he thinking?

Ace came out looking like he'd arrived via time machine from the set of Miami Vice. He looked like a character that Sonny Crocket would pistol whip while demanding to know when the next shipment of blow was arriving.

Rod Stewart looked great.  By that I mean he looked like Rod Stewart.  He wasn't botoxed til he looked like a blowfish in a wig or lifted, tightened and buffed until his features disappeared.  He looked like a guy who'd been around awhile and that's not a bad thing.

Katherine is next.  She's beautiful and has a great voice and sings the most boring crap on the show.  She's gone.

Paris after her.  She's great and I stand by my prediction that she'll win a tony by the time she's 25, but now this is a popularity contest and she doesn't have a big enough personality.

Elliot will be the next guy to go.  He has a wonderful voice and I find him very endearing and he's three times as talented as Kellie but she's going to outlast him based on her charm and the fact that she's smokin'.

Kellie won't be able to edge out Taylor or Chris.  They're too good.

It's really a toss up between Taylor and Chris.  Chris is better. Taylor is almost a novelty act next to him, but as I said; popularity contest.  America gets ridiculously happy watching Taylor gyrate.  If Chris doesn't win, it'll be because he's too cool, and cool people don't vote for American Idol.
