idol5 (5)
Bocelli sang beautifully - no surprise there. His breath control is mind boggling as in the last minutes when he used one breath to sing several long long notes. Really beautiful to listen to. (Even if it wasn't the Elmo lullaby. :) ) And DialIdol did correctly have Kellie and Paris as the bottom two, but in the wrong order, and they totally had the others wrong (unless, as I often say, the producers really do muck with the actual phone call results). My own sense of what happened seems better at predicting results than their dial tone thingamabobby. But it's a heckuva lot of fun, either way. (Don't tell anyone I said that or I'll be voted out of the Sophisticated Skeptical Jaded Cynics Club.)

Dial Idol results:
1. Taylor Hicks
2. Chris Daughtry
3. Elliott Yamin
4. Katharine McPhee
5. Kellie Pickler
6. Paris Bennett

Actual results:
1 and 2: Chris Daughtry and Katharine McPhee (D.I. had Chris #2 and Katharine #4)

3 and 4: Taylor Hicks and Elliott Yamin (D.I. had Taylor #1 and Elliott #3)

5: Paris Bennett (D.I. had Paris #6 and out)
6 (and out): Kellie Pickler (D.I. had Kellie #5 and staying)

Kellie didn't sing her way off - first time I've seen that happen. Was she that bad? or did no one want to re-hear "Unchained Melody" in her voice? or did she want to chatter her last few minutes? Who knows. Paula was remarkably clear when Ryan asked for her thoughts on Kellie and Paris (hey - that means they addressed sentences to each other - so much for the tabloids). And what was with Simon's and Randy's apologies - did David Foster freak out over their nasty remarks about what were presumably his (pretty bad) arrangements of some good songs? Behind the scenes must be pretty interesting but I guess there are vows of silence as effective as Trappist monks'! And don't you dread the waterfall when Paris goes?! And isn't it weird how you miss the ones who leave as soon as they're booted - god, I'm ridiculously easy to manipulate. Anyway, they didn't announce next week's theme or plan or whatever so I'm not sure what to look forward (or not) to.

Next week's theme: one song from the year you were born, one song from this week's Billboard chart. The latter is almost always a trainwreck. Just one look at this week's BB chart will tell you why!
