out on a limb

Okay...I'm going to go out a limb here and make an American Idol prediction. After watching last night's show, I do believe that Lil and Anoop should pack their bags and head for home. However, every season of AI, just about this time in the competition, there is a shocker. I personally think the producers do this to up the ratings and hysteria and voting etc. I know, I know...we the viewing public think that our votes affect the outcome, which is true to some measure...but ultimately, the producers are out for ratings. And that my friends trumps votes every time. So...all that to say that I think one of the front runners will go home tonight. And I'm going to predict [drumroll please] that Lil Rounds will stay and Danny Gokey will be voted off with Anoop.

If I'm wrong, I will happily admit it tomorrow.

Mildly obsessed, Miss B.

Last night on AI, the theme was songs from the movies. All around a weak performance for all the idols. [Some might disagree regarding Adam Lambert, but for me, I've seen the same schtick from him in weeks prior.] Anyway, Danny, Lil and Matt...especially Lil and Matt, I'm thinking are going to be in the bottom three tonight...with either one of them getting the boot. I don't know why people get hung up on song selection. It seems easy enough. But maybe they can't get approval or licensing or whatever to do the songs that would really touch a sweet spot for the voting public. Anyway, here are my song picks...probably too little too late to. Sigh.

DANNY~
It Might Be You from Tootsie
Wind Beneath My Wings from Beaches
I Will Always Love You from Bodyguard

LIL~
The Shadow of Your Smile from The Sandpiper [Ella's version]
As Time Goes By from Casablanca
The Way We Were [Gladys Knight's version]

MATT~
