IDOL - The Final Two

I don't really have much to say on these songs, since two out of the three they have both already done, and you really don't want to know what I have to say about the third for either one. Tonight was sort of a big disappointment for me. My favorite part was 'Journey' playing at the beginning...

Katharine: "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" was as great as it was the first time...which is really great. This to me, is the type of music that Kat should make. She's so comfortable with it, and she looked so classy and in her element...didn't miss a note. 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' was, in my opinion, not as good as it was the first time, but that just proves how great she is, because it was still fabulous. And what the hell is Randy talking about "I wasn't sure about this because you've done it before"? You idiot...they're both doing songs again! So about this "My Destiny" crap...what the hell was that??? That was probably the worst song I've ever heard, not to mention it was so far out of anything she would actually do it was unreal. You could tell the whole time how uncomfortable she was, I cringed the whole time. I don't have anything else to say about that. She was far superior on BOTH the first two, but she didn't have a chance on the third. The song sucked.

Taylor: Alright, maybe its just me, but I did not like "Living For the City"...everytime Simon makes his comparisons to drunk wedding singers, I just want to slap him, but ironically, tonight, that's actually where I would have gone. Taylor did not have his usual presence for me tonight. He was just shouting in the first one, and that jacket was all kinds of hideous. This performance in NO way 'slaughtered' Katharine... "Levon" was a problem for me as well...it started out pretty rough, and Randy was right, it was pitchy. I would have definitely chosen 'Trouble' or 'In The Ghetto', and Paula, what the hell are you talking about??? "Do I Make You Proud?" Not so much...they basically handed him the final with this song. It was so much more in his element, but he still missed notes! He pulled it together in the end, and that will give him the competition, but come on...how much better was this song? I'm just speechless at how ridiculous these last two were. If they had switched these two songs and given this one to Kat, she would have been ahead. You can say what you want, Randy, he would have choked with Kat's song, just like she did. And did you see Elliot chanting Soul Patrol? Nice.

Tonight was so obviously fixed in Taylor's favor. With Paula saying that Taylor "opened" the show...umm actually he choose not to open the show, and Ryan taking him up to the middle of the crowd, to him just getting a far superior song for the third choice...Katharine doesn't stand a chance and I'll be absolutely shocked if she wins.
I got through about 10 or 15 times and I never know how to feel about that. If I get through it means it wasn't busy the whole time, but if I don't get through, I worry that I didn't vote, so I don't know. But I called for the whole four hours, so I did my part. So I'll bitch all I want when she gets shafted, which is inevitable.
