AI: top 6 boot off

Well, a little too early Siobhan got voted off. I haven't been as impressed the last few weeks with her, but I certainly didn't think she was at risk for going home. Her farewell was kind of sad too. And yet, we still have Aaron and Lee who I always forget. Ah well.

AI: Top 6

Simon ought to be loving this night since he loooves country music so much.

Lee, oh Lee. I really think it's time for you to go home. You're gonna torture me.

Mike - good song choice. I almost didn't recognize it and I think it was wise to pick a song that wasn't so mainstream as some of Shania's other songs. Good job!

Addison recognizes Ellen on the show since we watch the Ellen show. She says "she's not at her other home". Silly girl.

Casey - anyone notice that these interviews with Casey involve a sunny day and breezy winds blowing through his golden locks? Corny. The song wasn't bad, but it wasn't a favorite of mine. I don't think he'll go home for it this week.

Crystal - what a weird song choice for her. Not my favorite, but she'll be okay, I think (I hope). This bordered on trainwreck, but I guess they all have bad weeks.

Aaron - I'm still surprised he's made it this far. This is one of my favorite songs "you've got a way"... But I think it may send him home.

Siobhan - really? That's a Shania only song or at the very least a Karaoke performance. I only liked the end, but the rest was terrible.

New judge thoughts? I think Katie Perry would be a good Simon replacement, but then Randy would be way outnumbered. Any other thoughts?

A most disagreeable child

At 3 years old, Addison can be the most disagreeable and argumentative person I've ever met. You could say the grass is green and she will vehemently argue otherwise. Case in point: we were at the grocery store last weekend standing in line with our food on the conveyor when a man joined in line behind us. Addison rather loudly informs me, "there's a lady right there". Of course I have to turn around to see and was faced with a fairly obvious male. I discreetly leaned over and whispered in her ear, "that's a man, not a lady". "NO, THAT'S A LADY BEHIND US. SHE'S IN LINE.". Okay then. End of discussion. I cannot argue with her at this point and cause a scene, so I guess she won.

Okay, I am mourning the loss of Andrew, but I guess I knew he wouldn't last much longer. I'm glad to see Katie go --- but WHEN will Tim go? Jeez.

Video of Addison playing in the "rain"

She wanted to play in the "rain" so we dressed her up in her rain gear and let her have at it until her teeth were chattering.  She had a blast.

AI Top 9

Aaron - that was the longest song ever. He just doesn't blow me away. Kara says at this point you have to be great and he's not.

Katie - I didn't find it as fabulous as everyone else did. I mean it started out much better, but she brought her Katie sound into it and I lost interest.

Andrew - I LOVED IT!

Mike - not my favorite performance of his, but I like the song, so I could kind of overlook it.

Crystal - great! I actually think her cold made it sound better.

Tim - damn you teethy Tim. I actually liked it. Grr.

Casey - he really seemed to get into that song. It was very impressive.

Siobhan - willl she scream or be mire conservative? Guess she went conservative, but man, that was weak! That was just weird. She might possibly be in the bottom 3 tomorrow. Hopefully it's not time for her to go home yet, but I didn't care for it.

Lee - not bad and I love Hey Jude. What was the point of the bagpiper though?
