Just watching the American Idol eliminations for this week. Are they kidding? As Lilly said, "I don't know what America wants." I guess Crystal will be next, and then I'll be done watching. (Mostly agree with the other eliminations, though.)

Surprised
I was quite surprised by that one also. I sure hope Crystal manages to stay on for a while because she is awesome.
It is better this year without Paula, who drove me crazy with inane comments. The show is tolerable when watched on DVR so I can FF through all the crap and just listen to the performances. Still have never voted for anyone.
Chrystal, Andrew Garcia and
Chrystal, Andrew Garcia and big Mike are my three favorites right now.
