[Rick Pierpont]

I don't understand the hate over Carley. She's cute and has an awesome voice and decent stage presence. I think Archuleta has a voice way beyond his years, but he does need to wake things up and I think to forget the lyrics again would be unforgiveable. I didn't like David Cook until a couple weeks ago when he did a rockin' but heartfelt version of Lionel Richie's "Hello". His Eleanor Rigby was pretty bad ass too. I hpoe he continues on his streak since I feel he is one of the most "honest" performers.

I think the voting has been more accurate this year in terms of who whould be going. I've been doing pretty good with guessing who is going so far.

I didn't like Janis Joplin, so I'm sure not enthralled with her second coming. lol! at the pictures Glenn keeps posting. I think her days are numbered. I'm also not a fan of Michael Johns. He was marginally better last week, but still one of the weaker contestants in my book. I, too, was very happy when Danny Noriega was kicked off and didn't exactly shed a tear when David Hernandez got kicked off.

I think the next ones to go are: Amanda, Michael Johns, Ramiele Malubay, Jason Castro, and Syesha (even though she has a nice voice).

My Top 4 prediction is (currently): David Archuleta, Carly Smithson, David Cook, and Chikezie (who really woke it up last week). It will be interesting to see what they bring this week and see if that changes any of my predictions.
