[american idol 5] McChoker Forgets the Ultimate Principle: “DON’T GET ELIMINATED!“
Wow. McPhever chokes twice, amidst relatively strong performances by Taylor (1), Chris (1.5) and Elliot (1.5… the first performance was a little too much of a GoatMan/Fawn-from-Lion/Witch/Wardrobe session). Where’s the gratuitous panty shot when you really need it?
McPhever’s 2nd, “I Can’t Help Falling In Love With You” could have been the atom bomb if she just delivered it straight-up like six o’clock. Instead, I was left wondering if she wasn’t the subject of And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead’s “Caterwaul”.
One path of logic would suggest that as of next week we’ll have three guys, and three guys only, going toe-to-toe for the final throwdown, but can it be? What would the producers have them sing, the collected works of Henry Rollins? Helmet? Metallica? Would Ryan Seacrest think he died and went to heaven with that many guys on stage? I’m really not a homophobe (I guess you’ll have to trust me on that…), but I have to wonder if even I can handle that much man-singing in one straight shot.
We’ll see tomorrow, because unless a Star Chamber conviened tonight and decided to save Katherine, she’s leaving the island… not that it’s the end of her world, for I’m confident within moments of said ejection all Fox programming will be interrupted for a special message from Tommy Matolla, announcing the coronation of Katherine McPhee as his New Queen/eighth wife. Here’s your crown, yer majesty!

Wow. Chris punched out.
Maybe a case of “he did well; therefore no one voted for him because he was safe” and “not a big home team vote” combined.
I’m sort of in shock; of the four players, he was the one I least figured was in danger.
… also, I officially have like 0.900 track record of picking the wrong ejectee. And that means something in America.
