| Analysis: Week 7 featured the
"Greatest Love Songs" as sung by the six remaining Idol
finalists. Katherine simply tried to
tackle a song |
| that is
virtually impossible to do on this show.
She *is* a star, but her song choice knocked her out of the first
place spot she took from Elliott |
| last
week. Elliott, meanwhile was
completely on target. Last week was an
unusual dark spot in his near-domination of this competition. And |
| even that
wasn't all that bad…it was just that everyone was great! I am doing the unusual step of rating
Kellie one spot *below* the bottom |
| this
week. It was bad…very bad. Paula was right -- Paris did oversing the
song tonight. But she sure has been
coming on strong in the |
| competition
since Week 4, when she made the bottom three.
Taylor started out rough, but once he got to the melody, things
improved a little. |
| Still
it was a stiff performance (not surprising, considering Taylor is a ball of
energy onstage) and if people don't stop picking Pickler, he could |
| be
the one to go. Chris also started out
rough…but wow…what a take on that song!
I enjoyed it. My picks for the
bottom three: Kellie, |
| Taylor, and
someone else…who knows…maybe Katherine? |
