I've never been a big fan of American Idol. Every season I would watch the first few shows where they showed the horrible auditions in various cities across the nation, have a good laugh, and end my experience there. In fact, this is the first season of the show that I have watched relgiously, but for some reason the people this season just seemed to draw me in. I've been a huge fan of Chris since day one, and I also really like Elliott and Taylor. (And Kellie Pickler, but I refuse to admit that everywhere but this blog.) I look forward to every Tuesday night so that I can see my favorites perform, and I dread every Wednesday night worrying over the possibility that one of them could be sent home. I always breathe a sigh of relief when Ryan Seacrest announces that my favorites are safe and will be back the following week. Unfortunately, I'm coming to realize that right now, it's anyone's game. This became apparent when this week's bottom three was announced. Ace, Chris, and Paris are all very strong performers, and even though Chris is my favorite of the three, I don't really dislike either of the other two. I'm sure that the eliminations will gradually become more and more nervewracking now that all of the inevitables are gone. Last night, it was time for us to say goodbye to Ace. I initially really liked him when they showed his first audition. George Michael's "Father Figure" was on repeat on my computer for days after Ace performed it. However, my respect for him began to dwindle when he sang the Michael Jackson song (I don't recall its title) in that horrible falsetto. Anyone that has musical training knows that falsetto is the easy way out when you can't hit a note, and that the correct thing to do is to switch to head voice, (which is difficult at first, but still quite possible with proper training). My roommate loved Ace throughout the competition, and I believe that she even voted for him this week after his less than average performance and horrible fashion choices. (The man had his
hair pulled back in a bun!) Once he actually made it through Hollywood week, I started to dislike him. And after a while, he kind of started to creep me out. And today I just realized why. It's because he reminds me of last season's Constantine. I caught a few episodes of AI last season, but I always had to turn the TV off when Constantine came on, because something about him made me feel dirty, like he was somehow undressing me with his eyes through the television. That was not a good feeling. Anywho, even though Ace was a good performer in general, I'm not too sad to see him go. As for his future career, I don't know if I really see him doing music or not. Maybe if he gets in with someone really talented that can give him a lot of the help that he needs he'll be successful. Otherwise, I'm not too sure about Ace's future entertainment career. I guess we'll just have to wait and see if we hear from this one again.

Of course I voted for Ace this past week! I believe in fidelity, and I stick by my man, no matter how gay or disturbed his appearance. But now that he is gone....Helloooo Elliot!
