Okay, I'll Admit It

I cried. Twice.
That was a hard goodbye for me - twice - on Idol! As I said before, I don't know when I've liked a top six this much. Usually there's at least one in there that gets on my nerves. Not this year.
Phats, I know you're thrilled that Phil is gone - and I'll be happy for you like you pretended to be happy for me (ha!) when Haley left. I will miss Phil. What a big and genuine heart he has (started to say had, but he's not dead!). I will miss seeing his sweet wife's smiling face in the audience every week, and I'll miss Phil's upbeat attitude. You can tell the rest of the contestants liked him a lot and he loved them too. I hope he does well - gets signed with someone. I thought he went out with incredible class.
As for Chris - I knew it was his time, but I'll still miss him. You can tell everyone thought the world of him too. I'm glad he made it as far as he did and I hope he shows up again sometime because he deserves that chance. Good job, Chris.
Having said that, this is the first time ever that the top four was who I wanted it to be from so early on. Even though my support for Lakisha has waned in the past couple of weeks, I'm glad she made it to the final four. And the other three deserve to be there, hands down. I love it that they all not only know how to sing, but they have such great personalities. It bugs me when Idol finalists aren't the sorts of people that make good role models. These four have what it takes all the way around, I think.
Angela - I have to say that you picked a good one with Bon Jovi. I could probably get used to listening to him. :) That other guy that sang though...whoa. Um...scary.

Sorry but I was very happy haha. Phil's appearance was starting to creep me out he seemed to get paler and paler! hahaha! Chris and Blake at the end was sad, but neat in the same way. I like you like the whole final 4, first time for me maybe ever that I have liked all 4 remaining. Maybe Carrie's year if you took out Bo.

I am laughing picturing you rocking out with your bad self to Bon Jovi!

HEY! Pale people matter too. I am just as pale as Phil is! (Well, except for my farmer tan on my arms.)

I wouldn't go so far as to say rocking out....more like quietly enjoying the view.

Bon Jovi is great! My nephews (ages 8, 6 1/2, and 3) all sing Bon Jovi songs word for word, so this week was extra fun for them.

I'm sad about Phil, but not so much about Chris.

I'm very excited to see what happens with the ones that are left!

I liked this week, partly because I actually knew the songs. Andrew and I are both Bon Jovi fans anyhow, so it was good week.

I'm not disappointed with the results. I liked Phil and Chris okay, but it would have been wrong for any of the other 4 to go first. Next week is going to be oh so tough. I think I'm hoping for Lakisha to go before Blake, but we'll see.

And that "other" guy? who sang last night...was that a joke? Andrew and I both thought he sounded like one of those ridiculous auditions at the beginning of the season. YIKES!!!!

I was absolutely CRACKING UP at that guy. I was like you - is he for real? It was hilarious - and scary!

Wow, I made your blog two days in a row, I should come over more. Ahh, yes I will miss Phil too. The final four rock, but it has been a solid group of singers this year.
