Surprisingly, last night was the best performance episode of the season. That said, this season is till beyond saving. Still, it's nice to have a few alright showings here and there. Things could have been much worse considering the stature of songs the contestants had to choose from, but for the most part they stuck to what they know they can do well.
With that said, read my predictions for how tonight will go below:
Mike, Andrew, Aaron
Bottom 2
Andrew, Aaron
Eliminated
Aaron
For the first time this season since the finals began, not only will no girl be eliminated, but no girl will make an appearance in the bottom three tonight. Therefore, some might be "shocked...SHOCKED!" when Mike is tonight's third wheel among the Top 9 because the judges way over-hyped him last night (and I think they realize that by now). Fortunately for him, he will not spend much time in the B3.
More deserving of the spot is Andrew, who corned it up last night with a drowned out acoustic guitar spectacle and lousy vocals. True, he showed more personality this week and came across as a genuine guy with a distinct theme and all, but he's been skating around elimination for some time now and tonight will be the closest he comes to that danger to date. But fortunately for Crystal, Andrew will get to try once again to have Danny Gokey babies with Lee.
But then we get to Aaron, whose "Long and Winding Road" was a few pegs lower than that performed by the often compared to David Archuleta two seasons ago. It was probably the weakest showing last night, and considering he went first and was not in the B3 last week, there are many reasons why tonight is Aaron's (or Yoda's) time to say goodnight. As nice of a guy as he is, Aaron has virtually no shot at winning, so it wouldn't cause an uproar for him to leave quietly in 9th place.
In my original predictions I do indeed have Aaron leaving tonight, so it would be pretty cool if that actually happened.
Since the Top 24 I have correctly predicted 5-15 eliminations and since the Top 12 I have correctly predicted 1-3 eliminations.
