When Taylor changed his song choice (Queen guys: Oh, you’ve got to be kidding me! ) because he wanted to “dance”!! :eek: :rolleyes: :eek: Please, please reconsider next time.
As for Kellie and Bohemian Rhapsody…okay, notwithstanding the fact that this has to be one of the most overrated songs ever (and why the hell was there no backlash after the radio hyper-oversaturation after Wayne’s World was released?*), I suppose it’s a viable go-for-the-green choice for the right singer. That singer is not Kellie Pickler. For one thing, it’s pretty tough to get the tempo and emotion changes right. For another, it has a bunch of funny words. My guess is that Kellie doesn’t know the first thing about classic rock and just grabbed at the one Queen song that she could remember, having been continuously drilled into her skull during the theatrical run of Wayne’s World.
Tough break, I guess. Doesn’t matter, though; she’s probably gone within two weeks no matter what happens.
Taylor, it looks to me, just wants to go out with a bang and give the audience something to remember him by. Even though he’s not the best singer by a long shot, I gotta appreciate him for doing that. He has a viable career ahead of him, one that won’t be locked down by the deal the winner’s going to get.
Chris, as I said before, belongs in a band. Great voice, loves what he’s doing, but doesn’t fit into the pop idol mold and can’t generate buzz on his own? C’mon, this is a no-brainer.
And of course, what makes this even more ridiculous is that hardly any of it is in the movie. Wayne starts at the “slihouetta of a man” part, which is then cut off, and then we hear maybe two thirds of the closing. Did the nine-second rendition of Mickey justify overexposing that corny cheerleader group again?
I preferred it to her last two country performances, I think her taste in country music sucks as of late…Suds in a Bucket and Fancy? I’m half expecting her to come out some night and sing Charlene’s "I’ve Been to Paradise (But I’ve Never Been to Me) after that other sappy dreck.

Um, extricating my foot from my mouth. Of course, it was written in 1991. I didn’t think about the songs from right before Mercury died. I was thinking about how Queen never performed Bohemian Rhapsody live, of course.
Here’s my thinking…,no one really stands out in both the voice and “star quality”. Kelly Clarkson was a lucky fluke. There hasn’t been a real star from AI since. Lets be honest, When are they going to start stylizing these guys! Elliot has a great voice but he just isn’t good looking enough to win. Kelly is cute, but dumber than a rock and not the best singer in the bunch. Ace is eye candy as has been said but give me a break, he’s trying to tell Queen how to sound? PLEEEEEZ! He just douses’t have enough of what is takes. Bucky should have gone long ago ect…, nobodys left, or to begin with, as far as that goes has had what it takes this season. They got lucky with Kelly Clarkson.
I don’t think I’ve ever been this sad to see someone go. I never expected him to win but he was very likable to me and I certainly didn’t want him gone before Ace or Katherine.
Hey! What’s wrong with “Suds in a Bucket” and “Fancy”? I enjoy both songs, but I do definately perfer Sara Evans doing “Suds”. Kellie did pretty decent on “Fancy” though.
Sheesh! Another week of Ace? Arrgghh! I hope that his sarcastic “I love you, too, guys” to the judges might help take away some votes for next week. Okay, he’s pretty but he can’t sing and he’s a snot, enough already!
So next week is Rod Stewart and The Classics, any idea what this means song wise? Songs that Rod has covered or just songs from the eras that he has covered? This might be a tough one for Chris. I think Paris will shine. Ace will suck as usual.
Oh for the love of pete! Taylor and Ace are still in the competition and Bucky goes home? Shit. I should have voted last night. Those hormonal teenagers voting for Ace have got to be stopped.
I called the bottom three, but had no earthly idea who it would be. My dad called Bucky even before the bottom three were announced. We like Bucky at my house! We knew he’d never win, but we thought he was fun. Bye Bucky!
On another note, does anyone else think Elliott gets cuter every week? He’ll never be the kind of eye candy Ace or Chris is, but he’s definitely improving. And I loved the shot of him crying! While my husband has probably only cried twice in his life, I grew up with my dad the crybaby, and I think it’s so sweet! Everyone I was watching with tonight was on tenterhooks that it would be Elliott.
They’re trying to get rid of Ace; he’s been bottom three more weeks than most. He’s managed to slip ahead of someone every time, but statistically speaking, he’s a dead man walking.
