Well, it’s really getting down to it. We’re down to the final three— Taylor Hicks, Katharine McPhee, and Elliott Yamin. That means next week, they’ll be singing three songs. One song will be their own choice, one will be the judges’, and one will be Clive Davis’ choice. In the past, this has generally been a really interesting week. I’m looking forward to seeing what songs the contestants will choose AND what songs will be chosen for them. If you were choosing, what would you choose for any or all of the contestants?


Taylor Hicks – Addicted To Love
Elliot Yamin – If You Like Pina Coladas
Katherine McPhee – I’d probably pick something she’s BOUND to screw up on, so that way she’ll get sent home this time… how can she mess up her lyrics and do so badly and STILL be there? So I guess I’d pick Mariah Carey’s “Emotions” to see if she could pull it off. If she pulled it off, I’d say she deserved to be in the Top 3. If not, then she’d be sent home.
If one of contestant forget the lyrics of a song, that doesn’t mean that she/he doesnt deserve to be on Top 3, that’s just a stupid perception.
Forgetting the lyrics and having a sub-par performance at this stage of the competition should affect the outcome somehow, though, don’t you think? When you’re voting for contestants are you voting for THAT performance, or are you voting for their overall performances.
