ARRIVADERCI AMANDA

Last night's American Idol bottom 3 was the first REAL shocker, for me at least, of the season so far. Elimination came down to Carly Smithson, Amanda Overmeyer and (for the second straight week) Kristy Lee Cook. Surely Idol didn't seriously intend to send CARLY packing? I really believe its how Fox keeps the momentum going--throw a fave into the bottom 3 and keep the audience on the edge of their seat. Once Carly was deemed safe, I was positive that despite Amanda's poor performance if "Back in the USSR" Tuesday night, Kristy Lee wouldn't escape the ax again. Except thats exactly what happened. Guess America loves a hot girl huh? Lol. The sad thing is that Amanda won't get to tour with the other contestants this summer since only the Top 10 get that honor. Well, Miss Kristy best bring her A-game next week. She was a front-runner for me in auditions but has become a huge disappointment letting nerves get the best of her among a live audience. In the WAYV American Idol Challenge all 3 of us (Paul, Diane and myself) had Amanda going out next week so we all lose 2 points this week, leaving Paul still in the lead by 1.

P.S. In regards to an earlier entry, Fox announced Mariah Carey's judging this season prematurely, she is scheduled April 16th. And what was with Kelly Pickler, does anyone really care anymore? Even Simon looked unamused.
