Ace in the Hole

Well, it's so-long, Ace. You had a good run. I think Ace will get offers from shows like the O.C. Good luck, buddy!

Mandisa - Anti-gay?

Last week's elimination of Mandisa from the competition has certainly generated a lot of theories as to why... One of them is that she is thought to be anti-gay. Review the article here: http://tv.yahoo.com/news/ap/20060407/114447174000.html. What do you think was the reason?

Awww... Mandiva is going home...

That's too bad. I almost put her name in my previous entry as someone who might go home, but didn't want to give her bad luck. So sad. She DEFINITELY sings better than Bucky! She should've picked a Dolly Parton song last night. She would've gotten more votes.
Bye bye, Mandisa, we'll miss you.
PS> Did you know her last name is "Hundley"?

Who's Going Home?

I just loved Kenny's new song... He may be old, but he's still got it!

So who do we think is going home tonight? I predict it's Bucky Covington. We'll see.

Paris Bennett (How Do I Live Without You) - Who sings this song originally? Anyone know? I have always loved it. Wow, she did it better than the contestant last year. Who did it last year? They BOO'd Paula! And Simon had to disagree just to spite her! This is great TV!
