Well, I am shocked. It looks like Kevin's pact with
the Devil is up, and he has finally been eliminated. I assume this means that the Devil will now collect on Kevin's
soul and he will have to travel to Hell, spending eternity burning in the flames of everlasting darkness. I'm
confused if that's how it actually works because in every "sell your soul to the Devil"
movie I've ever seen, somehow the Devil is tricked into giving the person their soul back. (Which is a little
unfair to the Devil, don't you think? I mean, the guy's got a business to run and people keep breaching their
contracts.) I'm sure Kevin will somehow weasel his way out of his pact as well. Most likely, the Chicken
Little people already have Kevin trademarked and will threaten copyright infringement upon the Devil if he
collects on his soul. Alas, the Devil gets screwed again.
Ahhh Kevin, your pact didn't get you all the way, but far enough to increase your chances of making it to 2nd base with every 11-year-old and/or 88-year-old female, and/or male, including (but not limited to) the continental United States and most Canadian provinces, excluding Quebec. (The preceding verbiage is an exact excerpt from Kevin's pact with the Devil. Man, Lucifer does manipulate legal jargon to trick innocent souls unto an unrighteous path. All those movies were right!)
The only thing that surprised me about tonight was Kevin's closing montage. He looks dorky now, but who knew it was actually an improvement on how he use to look? Nice Jarhead haircut during the audition, Kev. And during his farewell song, I was a little worried by the return of the pocket hand. Luckily, it only lasted a few seconds. Some of you speculated that he might have been playing a bit of pocket pool last night. You sickos. Pocket pool? No way. I know what he was doing -- he was trying to solve a Rubik's Cube one-handed, and on live TV. You gotta admit, that's pretty ballsy. Hey, what's a ballsy? (Tee hee)

New Lost took precedence, so I missed the results. I am relieved Kevin's gone...now here's hoping Kellie follows and soon...
Anyway, somebody kind enough to tell me who was bottom 3 since I didn't see it?
Thanks....

What's sad is that this was probably his best performance, and he did a lot better than Bucky. He shouldn't have made it past last week and the week before that, but this week he did a good enough job that I didn't think he should be the one to go.

The bottom three was Lisa, Bucky and Kevin.
I think it should not have been Kevin's week to go. This week was one of his strongest and one of Bucky's weakest. I hope Bucky goes soon because he has been there much too long.

About !@#$ing time.
There have been AI contestants I haven't liked (and there are still plenty on the show right now), but few have made me want to punch the screen as much as that lisping little retard. I actually flipped over from Lost to see the last two minutes of the show, and cheered out loud when they cut him. He should've never made it past the first audition.

Most people seem to agree that Kevin actually did well this week (or, at least, relative to what he normally does). Makes you wonder just how the voting really works, and whether the singing factors into it at all. After all, Simon can come right out and tell somebody they have the best voice in the competition, and then pick 3 completely different people as finalists. No one seems to think that Mandisa will win, for example.
So just how much of it is about the singing, and how much is about picking your favorites way back during the auditions and then just voting for them until you get tired and move on to someone else? Maybe you pick your favorite because of the singing, or maybe because of something else, but I find it hard to believe that many people (if any) are watching week to week and saying things like "You know, I really like Ace, but he just didn't do well this week, so I'm gonna vote for Bucky. He really worked it out, did his thing and made it his own. Ace was just aight for me tonight, dog."
Whoa. Started channeling Randy and Paula there for a minute.

Finally............Although, as much as I wanted to see Kevin go, I actually kinda felt bad for him last night - Dont' know why - But, he makes me cringe when I see him sing!!
Too bad the THREE of them couldn't go all at once!!! That would save us two extra weeks of watching Bucky and Lisa -
Someone wrote yesterday that we were just jealous of Kellie - I'm not jealous, I'll admit, she cute and has "some talent", but I'm not jealous of her ditz act!!
Notice how Ryan cut her off last night - And, of course, Katherine had something to say - I agree with the writers yesterday saying she seems entitiled - Don't like her for the "personality" factor.

I'm no fan of Pickler, but she didn't say "What's a ballsy?" She said, "It wasn't ballsy," i.e. she thought or pretended to think it meant "masculine," I guess.

No, Kellie definitely said "what's a ballsey?" I rewound to make sure I heard correctly. I'm constantly wondering who these people are that Simon says like her, b/c I personally can't stand her and no one I know can either!

I think America got it right last night in terms of the bottom three. All had subpar performances on Tuesday. It gives me hope that people are really voting for the best singers.
