I don't think I can take much more of Scott.
I know I can't!!!!! He was all but thumbing his nose at Simon and everyone else last night. "I ain't going nowhere". Please send him to Broadway. He would do well there.

'Idol' paddling in reverse
'Idol' paddling in reverse By Edna Gundersen, USA TODAY
Tue May 10, 6:21 AM ET
Scientific theory and reality TV don't always correlate. Consider Darwin, whose hypothesis can't explain why Paula Abdul claps like a trained seal. Nor does it fit the evolutionary arc of American Idol (Tuesday on Fox, 8 ET/PT). After 11 weeks of witnessing contestants undergo a fine-tuned, and frequently off-tune, elimination process, we should be left this week with the four fittest finalists.
But no. For the first time in the show's four-year history, castoffs could make a better album than the survivors. Imagine a compilation CD with highlights by Idol rejects Nadia Turner, Nikko Smith and Anwar Robinson, plus mysterious deserter Mario Vasquez, singers capable of making music with a little snap and soul and sophistication. Instead, voters likely will anoint a generic rocker or a country marionette. Perhaps quantum theory applies. Idol has taken a quantum leap back to audition-level mediocrity.
Carrie Underwood
Carrie whipped up a little sex-kitten sass for Elvis' Trouble, but when she tackled Rascal Flatts' sappy ballad The Broken Road, the familiar banality resurfaced. Based on vocal quality alone, she rates highest. And if a personality bypass operation is reversible, maybe there's hope for eventual charisma. Short of a total fuse-blowing robotic crash, she's the likeliest to win. Simon predicted not only Carrie's victory but a sales run that would eclipse earlier Idols. Maybe he's plotting a duets package with Usher or 50 Cent.
Bo Bice
He's in good standing after sleepy but passable covers of Stand By Me and Los Lonely Boys' Heaven. The Idol judges seem to believe Bo qualifies as a bona fide modern rocker, which suggests they haven't watched MTV2, read Mojo or talked to a college student since the Allman Brothers were on the charts. Bo has a serviceable voice and might survive on the Southern bar-band circuit but throw him on the bill of the Ozzfest or Warped tours, and he's mosh-pit chum.
Vonzell Solomon
After weeks of steady improvement, Vonzell stumbled badly last week with a messy Treat Me Nice and her politically sly but vocally weak version of the Idols single, When You Tell Me That You Love Me, a forgettable ballad that she made memorable only with her shaky and shrieky treatment. Vonzell has a bubbly personality and a fine voice, when she can control it. But she can't match the pipes of past winners Kelly Clarkson or Fantasia. She's vulnerable this week.
Anthony Federov
It's a miracle that his tuneless Poison Ivy didn't get him scratched from the contest. And he didn't rebound with his tepid take on the Backstreet Boys' cheese ball Incomplete, which sounded very incomplete as a lone colorless vocal. Anthony needs another smash like I Surrender or he'll be surrendering to also-ran status Wednesday night.

Woo this was a doozy! Good songs all around, pretty much. A few problems here and there though.
Tonights Ratings (out of 100):
1. Bo Bice (89.2)
2. Anthony Fedorov (88.7)
3. Vonzell Solomon (76.4)
4. Carrie Underwood (74.0)
Overall Discussion-
Carrie Underwood
Had a really good rendition of the country song, but her second song was quite...awful. Should not bring her down too much but definitely needs to watch out tomorrow if America just judges on tonight.
Bo Bice
Great all around, especially the second song. The first song could have been a little better, but it works.
Vonzell Solomon
Also quite good, although her first song was a little shaky. However, there is no doubt she is going to score sympathy votes for whatever happened. She proved herself tonight.
Anthony Fedorov
His Best Night. Definitely good all around.
Overall Standings (out of 100)
1. Bo Bice (94.3)
2. Vonzell Solomon (90.0)
3. Carrie Underwood (89.8)
4. Anthony Fedorov (89.2)
This was enough to knock Carrie from the number 2 spot. Last week left it really close between Bo and Carrie, now its a tough competition between Vonzell, Carrie, and Anthony, although Anthony is still most likely to leave due to past performances.

I did not find anyone's performance that great tonite. Carrie did okay on Sin Wagon. But totally blew her second song. Vonzell, poor thing, has had some personal issues. She did a lot better on her second song. But it is hard to give to your best when your mind is on something else. Anthony did a lot better tonight than last week. I loved his second performance overall. Bo still rocks in my opinion. Go BO! I went to American Idol on Fox and tons of people were bashing Carrie. Yes, she needs to loosen up a little more. But, these people are just jealous. I still think she has a lot of talent.

Overall no one stood out tonight. Anthony continues to improve each week. Bo did kick ass on the second song. His first one sucked. Carrie did very well on her first song, but it wasn't her best for sure. All of them had at least one that sucked tonight. Vonzell just plain wasn't good tonight. Don't know what was going on with her, but I did not like either of her songs tonight.

Bo's the man. I think he'll be the next American Idol. Of course its up to the U.S. populace to vote. I may be wrong. Tonight did seem to be an off night for all of them.
