AI CHALLENGE--It ain't over till it's over...
I can't even BEGIN to tell you the wave of disappointment that rolled over me Wednesday night when Mandisa was voted off American Idol. Her departure nearly (key word here being NEARLY) dessimated my hope of being the winner of the American Idol Challenge. Mandisa was my #2 pick, meaning I chose her to be Idol's runner-up for this season. In losing her I gained 10 points in the Challenge, putting Paul Kelly at an advantage. The score is now 14-4.
I was over the moon about Katharine McPhee nudging by for one more week. It was a relief that she wasn't even in the bottom three. But I didn't expect Mandisa to be packing her bags. Bottom three results from Tuesday night's country competition came down to Paris, Elliot and Mandisa. Naturally I thought Mandisa had too large of a fan base to be the one to go. But she did. And at that moment I knew Paul Kelly was watching his TV claiming premature victory. But it ain't over till it's over. If Ace Young is the next to leave I can still catch Paul and maybe even out. We'll see how it goes next week when the contestants take on the tunes of QUEEN!
