idol5 (5 > 4)
I kind of liked last night because everyone did their own thing more than on theme nights so we heard something closer to real. I've been reading the blogs, however, and they are in total disagreement about the results. One wonders whether they saw the same show! DialIdol ranks Paris last and Katharine second-to-last, which is odd since Katharine was awesome according to all the assessers I've read and my own reaction. Joker's Updates liked Katharine, although less enthusastically than I, and concluded that Paris will go home tonight because she doesn't have a big/strong enough fan base. But MTV' s blog thinks Elliott will go because "[his] songs were average. And with five left, [he's] the only one who's not a star". As for Chris, I agree with MTV that "[h]e makes everything he sings sound the same and it's an uninteresting genre." Plus, I'm really not into him as the winner because although he's very likeable, his singing bores me. I prefer real rock or real pop to his semi-hemi-demi stuff.
Everyone has assumed that the winner would be Chris with Katharine a close second, but Elliott's voice has held up (surprisingly) well and he's lasted so long, and Taylor has such a strong fan base, and Katharine always looks and sounds good. . . . MTV may be right that it's "looking more and more like Katharine and Taylor in the finale, and what a close race that would be." Closer than other pairings, actually. So whose albums would you buy? whose shows would you go to? (Update: Graceland next week. Will Elvis be there or has he left the building?)
*(As far as we know since they don't publish actual numbers and only actually rank the bottom person.)
