F...American Idol

[Schneed10]

I watch it and like the show. Chris was the best and has the most talent of anyone on the show, and he'll have the best career when it's all said and done because he knows his genre and he'll stick to it when recording an album. It's a shame he's gone but to be honest I'm not that surprised. The last few weeks he just hasn't been picking popular songs. I like the Elvis songs he chose, but I mean come on, Taylor and Katharine picked some of the most recognizable Elvis tunes ever. And they were the kind of songs that got people moving, they were upbeat.

This doesn't mean Chris wasn't the best musician. He is the best by far. But the contest is about who America likes best, not about who is best. And if you sing songs that America really likes, that helps your cause. If you don't, you're fighting an uphill battle.

I have to hand it to Taylor and Elliot this week, they gave people a reason to call in and vote for them. They were right on.

I'm not sure who I'm rooting for now. It's a shame Chris is gone. I like all 3 of the remaining singers equally.
