Elliot is still in the running, and that is just bizarre.  He’s awful, and yet Randy, Paula and even Simon week after week act like he’s God’s gift to music.  I don’t understand it.  He’s got a good voice - not outstanding and certainly not unique.  His voice is the classic night club singer or karaoke singer - maybe a soloist at church or at weddings or such.  But an American Idol?  No way.

Last night I did something I have never done before.  I actually voted.  I kept dialing until I had voted four times for Catherine because I figured she was the underdog after the judges criticized her so much, and I was afraid Elliot had enough loyally deaf fans to sneak past her.  It never even dawned on me that more people would vote for Elliot than for Chris.  Chris is so far beyond Elliot in talent.  He has a unique sound whereas Elliot is completely forgetable.

Oh well.  I guess it doesn’t matter.  SURELY there is no way Elliot will win.  Surely there aren’t THAT many crazy people in America.  I think tonight’s results pretty much sealed the deal for Taylor.
