How predictable was it that John Stevens would choose "Mandy"? And probably just as predictable was that he butchered it.
Since I'm not a big Manilow fan, much of the night kind of breezed on by. I thought George Huff would have done better singing "At the Copa" than the song he chose.
My guess is that the bottom three will be John Stevens, Diana DeGarmo, and Jasmine Trias.
UPDATE (4/21): I forgot to post who I think will be booted. My guess is Jasmine.
Meanwhile, Prof. Althouse has extended thoughts on last night's episode.
Apparently George was sick last night, which is a shame, since he remains my favorite. Last night ranged from boring to screeching. I can't stand any of the remaining "divas" left in the competition and the two teenage girls are just very boring. I actually thought John Stevens was the best last night. His voice is perfect for Manilow and I thought Manilow performed some magic in teaching John how to emote when singing and it really showed. My bottom 3 predictions would be: Latoya, George, and Fantasia, with Fantasia being booted. I know it's not the most popular opinion but I really think Fantasia is so polarizing that the producers had to try and make her more likeable by bringing her child on to stage and I think it's going to backfire. The general public can sense heavyhanded manipulation and I don't think they'll like it.

Wow, quite the bold pick, g! We'll know in about three and a half hours.

im not being mean or anything .. but i think that the people who make the show are somewhat PREDIDOUS to jasmine .. its like you guys want to get rid of her because she's asian .. i think she has all rite just like all of the other contestents .. and also if she goes .. i think its because you guys made her nervous and two nights (or three) in a row you let her go first .. this monday and tuesday .. and also .. she doesnt get good judement .. and im happy that randy supports his own kind . put how about other people too .. i can tell he really doesnt like jasmine or asians at all .. so i expect jasmine to stay and fantasia to go .. i hope you guys listen to me .. and give asians there time to be famous too .. thank you for your time
