How did I miss this thread?? I loff American Idol...hehe.

My favorites are Elliot and Katharine...honestly, but I think Chris will win. Definitely NOT a fan of Paris...but I'm sure she'll be in the top 4 or 5.

As to the judges...(sorry, I'm going to dredge up what you guys were talking about several posts ago...haha)...Paula is just a total waste of space on there. She repeats what Randy says, except that she turns it around and tries to use words that make you question if she truly knows the meaning...hehe! Love Simon though... I DO think the judges play a big part in who stays or goes, even at this level, because they constantly plug people, Simon especially. If Simon says, "I predict YOU are going to be in the final 3"...it's pretty unlikely that person will get booted the next night.
