So here we cut it down to 6. My hope, of course, is that Kellie leaves, but I have no hope for that. I love the replay of Kellie saying "I butchered it!" It warms my heart.

Ford commercial... "Kids in America." Funny, Kellie looks like Carrie in her billboard. It must be the shades. I like Chris smashing the guitar, but other than that, it's... a Ford commercial. That reminds me, we were working tonight so we couldn't watch ALIAS. I fully intend to snark it in the morning. Irina and Vaughn are returning, so I'm all in.

Rod Stewart comes out to the tune of "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy". Yay! Anyway, he's going to do something '70s rockish next.

Rod sings "The Way You Look Tonight". It's great, but the microphone stand swing is a little out of place in this one, no?

Next week is love songs. With Andrea Bocelli coaching.

Kellie, Elliott, and Kat are together on one side. Chris, Ace, Paris are together on the other side. Taylor's safe and supposed to join the safe group. I think Kellie, Kathryn, and Elliott are safe. The bottom 3 are Ace, Chris, Paris.

And that's the way it is, Taylor has shaken Chris's hand but joined the top group of Kellie, Kathryn, and Elliott. This show is such a joke. Kellie, after that horrendous performance, is still here, while Mandisa was gone after 1 mediocre night.

Chris and Ace are the bottom 2, and Paris is safe. If Chris goes home, I'm done. It should absolutely be Ace.

Whew, Ace is going home. I was scared, y'all. After Mandisa went home, I lost all faith in voters other than me.

So what does Chris being in the bottom 2 tell us? Chris is a rocker, and if he wins and y'all make him record a pop album, no one's gonna buy it. So there's really no point in him ever breaking away from rock again. Y'all can all shut up about him being a one-trick pony. He showed another great trick to himself, and people didn't vote.

Tomorrow I'll pick the love songs everyone should sing. Starting with Chris singing "I Hate Everything About You".
