9 Ways To Ruin Country!
X-Men 3 (10/10) I didn't even see the first two but it looks and sounds much better than these nine.
Paris (5/10) Did someone pull her out of some performance of "Pippin"? Not crazy about her singing this paticular song (even if Leanne did it too) but it was tolerable. Not her best by any stretch of the imagination, but she sang it straight, avoided crazy singing tricks and improved over Work It Out.
Bucky (4/10) NO. NO NO NO NO NO. YOU DEFINITLY DO NOT DO GARY'S VERSION OF "BEST I EVER HAD." Even if he actually did not sound like ass. That's such an untouchable song now.
Taylor (2/10) Who forced him to sing this? He sounded like ass, and I can't tell if I should blame the mic or not.
Mandisa (2/10) I didn't peg her for the Shania song. Especially that one, since there are three notes total in it. With the crappy job they did splicing the song. Has she always been that nasally and trilly during held notes she doesn't shout? Just a tad goaty for my taste.
Elliot (2/10) Ouch. The opener blew balls. And since when is he so goaty? Gawddamn he's a goat or something, did not like it at all.
Katharine (2/10) THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU? FAITH HILL CRAP? I should negative score you just for that. Still as pageantish as before, but she was sorta interesting. Fake, pretentious and is she aware there is no crown or sash by winning American Idol?
Ace (1/10) ZOMBIE! At least he found something to boyband to the high heavens. And put me to sleep in the process. Downgrade for the unneeded ***** note at the end.
Chris (0/10) Huh, he can do a Keith Urban impersonation? Cuz there he is, pretending he's an Aussie singer but with move vibratto and less on-key-ness.
Kellie (0/10) Go home a die, Faker. And never touch Fancy again.
Worst Three: Ace, Chris, Kellie
Should Leave: Kellie
America's B3: Ace, Mandisa, Elliot
Will Leave: Mandisa
And can Chris Rock or Whoopi Goldberg take over hosting.

4. Taylor (not good at all, his worst. picked it up at the end.)
5. Elliot (boring)
6. Mandisa (another bad song choice for someone who has an amazing voice.)
7. Paris (boring)
8. Bucky (how can this close out the show?)
9. Ace (he's not eliminated yet?)

Tonight was several steps up from last week.
Taylor – It was pretty much Karaoke, nothing “wow”, this was dull and safe. Taylor even failed to exude his tremendous positive energy. This guy is and should be Bottom 3 – worthy tomorrow night.
Mandisa – 1st half = Ugly. 2nd half of the song= OK. Terrible song selection, there are better songs for her great voice.
Elliot – Ehhh… I knew I would hate this week. Despite what the judges said, this wasn’t good. I hated the shaky vocals, and the fact that he looked like if he was reading the lyrics off the screen some of the time. The performance was just a safe wreck.
Paris – As seen through her performance, she put in some major effort into this, and didn’t do too bad. It was bland, but all right. The show has now started for me at this point.
Ace – OK, I’ll take back what I said about him last week. (About him being gone this week.) Ace didn’t do bad, excellent song choice, and his falsetto connected smoothly at the end. On queue the whole time, he earned some redemption from me. Best “top 12” performance from him yet.
Kellie – Back in her zone, Kellie did OK. I was expecting something bigger from her, but this was fine. The song was safe for her; she could’ve gained a lot of staying power tonight if a riskier song was picked to match her vocal range.
Chris – What a crappy arrangement, another safe and dull song choice! Hit a high note or something! But the performance was good, and we finally heard a different sound to him.
Katherine – Despite a few small parts she was possibly off on, Welcome back McPhee! Without a doubt, she’s the comeback story this week! Everything was entertaining, my top performance of the night. 
Bucky – He could’ve done better in the beginning, but he brought it at the end. If I were him, and knowing that I would likely be gone in the next few weeks, I would’ve taken risks this week. I would’ve taken the guitar, separated myself from the others, and do an acoustic country song all on my own, with no band behind me. That would’ve been more impressive, even though what he had tonight was good enough.
My Scores:
(Out of 10)
Taylor – 2.4
Elliot – 3.8
Mandisa – 4.3
Paris – 7
Kellie – 8.1
Chris – 8.3
Bucky – 8.6
Ace - 8.9
Katherine – 9.3
Who I think should go: Taylor.
Who I see being in the bottom 3: Taylor, Elliot, and (Insert whoever else here). I do fore-hear boos and shocking gasps though.
Other notes:
- FINALLY!!! PAULA GETS BOO-ED! It’s about time!
- Thank you FOX for the surprises known as the X-Men 3 and Scary Movie 4 Trailers.
- Woah! Ryan Seacrest is human, he can grow a beard! I must say, that it didn’t look bad at all. He didn’t overdo it like Jake Plummer has. (Jake is from my #1 football team, The Broncos.)
- Earlier tonight on ET, it was mentioned that next week’s theme will be Rock.

I should put this elsewhere, but eh.
- Paula gets boo-ed yearly. This was major boo's but it happens.
- Ryan has stubble. And Simon is right, he needs to loose the beard (be it the facial hair or Teri Hatcher *rimshot*)
- Broncos need to die. Sorry, I may be from Colorado but I'll stick with my Bucs.
- So next week went from Queen to "rock"? Is Queen still performing on the results night or shall we finally have a Point Pose Perf from the F8?

-Pfft. At least the Broncos were in the Final 4.
- Queen??? That would be cool, if its true.... I'd like to see someone take on Bohemian Rhapsody. That one chick from Rock Star INXS rocked that.

09. bucky ...................(+1) wow he ruined that song bad
Overall this week sucked as much as last week... now I dont even know if Queen theme is gonna be a good idea. Before the judges blame contestants for not picking good songs, they should blame producers first for picking crappy theme. I want the 50s 60s 70s 80s theme back!!! I hope they do it later on the season...
Top 10
01. paris ........................ (+4) enjoyed the performance and theres no denying she can dance but it looked out of place

05. chris ........................ (-1) it was okay, kinda yelled too much though
06. kellie ....................... (=) ok vocals, very boring and fire your make up stylist!
07. elliot ........................ (+2) wow what the hell was that, poser anyone? lol but yeah the best out of the sucky performance
08. lisa ......................... (-1) what happened? i dont know where the lisa i liked went
09. ace .......................... (-6) there he goes again, the whiny voice! gaahhhhh
10. bucky ........................ (=) just dont like you, please go now!
TOP 11
01. katharine ............... (=) as usual loved the performance. her voice is just amazing
02. mandisa ................. (+1) just as consistent as katharine
03. ace ........................ (+8) wow, totally made up for like everything. his past performances just sucked ass
04. chris ....................... (+2) great performance as usual, good job with the arrangement
05. paris ....................... (-1) it was very good, went down my ranking but doesnt mean it was worse than last week
06. kellie ....................... (+2) vocals getting a lot better, keep it up
07. lisa .......................... (-2) she did pretty good but got overshadowed by paris and mandisa. hope shes not bottom 3 again!
08. taylor ........................ (-6) went down in ranking a lot but he didnt do bad. he did pretty good but everyone was just really good this week
09. elliot ......................... (=) he did good but just dont like him that much. i dunno, he just hasnt impressed me
10. bucky ........................ (=) as much as his singing is far from my cup of tea, he's less annoying than harry potters and chicken littles love child
11. kevin ......................... (+1) go the fkkk away already. his nostrils and lisp is so annoying when he sings. his gf is so much better. god its so annoying seeing loser kids that are cocky!!! lolz
TOP 12
01. katharine ............ she has to win, no exception!
02. taylor .................. wow i was never a fan, but he impressed me a lot
03. mandisa .............. always great, very consistent

07. melissa ............... wow i was actually surprise, she made it her own, good job
08. kellie ................... was very disappointed, that wasnt the kellie i like
09. elliot ................... was never really a fan, he was ok
10. bucky .................. it was his personal best i think but his best is not good enough
11. ace ..................... he is just starting to go down faster than a rock in my bock
12. kevin ................... to me he is just a loser who thinks he's all that now, go home!

1. Paris (8.5/10)
--Wow, this was great, but yeah, she only picked that song because she knows she's in danger.
2. Chris (8/10)
--I'm not even gonna mention how we all knew he'd go good.
3. Elliot (7.5/10)
--Definently a challenging song to sing.
4. Taylor (7/10)
--Was a fun performance and the vocals were decent.
5. Katharine (6.5/10)
--The one performance she's had that after it, I've found myself not hating her. Only rated her low because she picked a song she could stand and be emotionless to like Diana DeGarmo did.
6. Bucky (6/10
--Wow, he did decent, so naturally he's leaving us tomorrow.
7. Kellie (5.5/10)
--Yep, I rated her low and we know this wasn't as good as your all gonna say it wasn
8. Ace (0/10)
--He needs to be eliminated like now.

Better...much better than I expected...With a lot of predictable song choices...
Bucky:: Fat Bottomed Girls
I KNEW he was going to sing this tonight, and I KNEW he was going to suck.
Rating: 3.5
Ace: We Will Rock You
Not the song I expected him to sing, but he did a decent job of it, in my opinion. I expect him to be bottom 3.
Rating: 6.0
Kellie: Bohemian Rhapsody
*Knew someone would sing this* Yup, she sucked ass. I gaurantee that she has absolutely no idea what the song is even about. Off-key all over the place, but gave her points for the parts where she wasn't off-key.
Rating: 3.5
Chris: Innuendo
Even though he was back to being the "One-Trick Pony", I thought this was a good performance from him. A little shouty in...a lot of the spots  , but yeah, I enjoyed it.
Rating: 8.5
Katharine: Who Wants To Live Forever?
I thought she did really good, and she didn't "squeal like a pig" as some of you say. We also saw some emotions! And not the same old smiley face.
Rating: 8.5
Elliot: Somebody To Love
*Knew someone would sing this* Does he think he's some sort of gangster always rockin' back and forth like that? I was waitin' for him to bust out rappin' yo. Anyways, it was good, I lowered the ranking because I almost forgot that he sang, though.
Rating: 7.5
Taylor: Crazy Little Thing Called Love
I LFRed when he tried kicking that stand over  . Just see Bucky's commentary, I'll spare you the rest.
Rating: 1.5
Paris: The Show Must Go On
*Knew someone would sing this* What an outfit  . I thought she did really good, but she can't come close to the huge range of Freddie Mercury, and no one could sing that song like him. But "she brought it down tonight! Yeah Dog Pound!"........Shut up
Rating: 7.0
Tonight:
1) Chris
2) Katharine
3) Elliot
4) Paris
---
5) Ace
---
6) Bucky
7) Kellie
8) Taylor
Should Be Bottom 3: Taylor, Kellie, Bucky
Should Go Home: Taylor
Bottom 3: Ace, Bucky, Elliot
Goin' Home: Bucky/Ace

Queen Week! It wasn’t quite what I was expecting, but it was OK.
Bucky – Fat Bottomed Girls – This guy has gained confidence, and did an all right job tonight, even though it was mediocre. I didn’t like some of his vocal contribution to the song, but it was an OK 'rendition.'
Ace – We Will Rock You – Oy…asking to change the arrangement, and they’re refusal…’~”… Ace could’ve done better, he should’ve been stronger and on his vocals, it wasn’t good.
Kellie – Bohemian Rhapsody: O!!! – What the?! Who is this chick? That was a decent performance of the song, but *Susie from Rock Star: INXS did it better. One of the most courageous song choices ever, again, the vocals could’ve been higher and stronger. Other then that, it was fine, even though I didn’t expect her to cover this track.
Chris – Innuendo – I’ve never heard this song before, but once again, he rocked it out. I like the shirt he was wearing. I wonder what other songs he was considering, it seems like Chris could’ve done any Queen song, and nailed it.
Katherine – Who wants to live forever – Smart song choice switch, Kat could’ve shot herself with what she was originally looking at. Pretty good vocal, nice arrangement, I wish she could’ve done the full song.
Elliot – Somebody to Love - He was a Radio DJ? That’s cool. Tough performance, but he pulled it through. Without a doubt, Elliot’s back, and he’s my comeback story of the week.
Taylor – Crazy little thing called love – We are the Champions? That would’ve been just ugly enough to send him home. As for his performance, Taylor did good, but I would give him a straight jacket, not a record contract. There was very little redemption with me for what he did last week. Once again, he’ll get away with another week.
Paris – The show must go on – I was wondering how she would pull this off. Wow, that was intresting. The vocals didn’t sit very well with me, but it was fine. It was just odd seeing that rocker side to her.
Other notes:- Simon was quite weak with some of his comments tonight, it was kind of bothersome.
- What? No counter insults to Ryan?
- Tonight on ET, it was announced that there will be a group performance during the results show.
- Rock Star: INXS performance of Bohemian Rhapsody done by Suzie McNeil:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qf0XU...ian%20Rhapsody
My expected bottom 3: Ace, Bucky, and whoever else.
Who I see going: Ace or Bucky…likely Bucky will get it.
Scores:
Bucky – 4/10
Ace – 3/10
Kellie – 8.1/10 (Possible 4th Vote)
Chris – 9/10 (1st Vote)
Katherine – 9/10 (2nd Vote)
Elliot – 8.11/10 (3rd Vote)
Taylor – 6/10
Paris – 7/10
