Ding Dong the off-key witch of Las Vegas is dead (to the show at least)!

I can't say I wasn't happy though. The three worst singers were in the bottom three and the worst was voted off the show. I wish they could have retroactively voted her out of the final twelve.

Nadia did suck, but the thing I hated most about the show was the indication that being in the bottom three was primarily a result of her get-up (the mohawk, etc...). It was a result of the fact that she can't sing. She's ok within a certain tiny range and she was forced to go out of her range last week.

I've always thought Federov was over-rated, I just thought the tweenies would keep him around a little longer. I wonder if Constantine going the teen-idol route ("I Think I Love You") took some votes away from an already weak Federov.

While I only went one for three last week(which I probably could have matched with a random drawing), I was happy. The voting audience sometimes votes for among lines of popularity and sometimes votes on the lines of quality. This week was a quality week.

Sure, there are some singers like Constantine who may not be a better overall singer than Federov or Nadia, but he was objectively much better than either of them this week.

Anyway, while my guesses may have sucked, remember...they were made before the performances. I'm not making excuses, just clarifying...

This week? Well, the worst singers left are Federov, Nadia, Constantine and Nikko. I'm going to guess that the one with the best performance will be safe and the other three will be in the bottom three. Without knowing the theme, I have no clue who the best would likely be.

Constantine has had a couple of very strong weeks...he may falter this time. I think Nadia may not sleep this week while working on her song. I think Federov sucks...he'll likely be in the botton three. Nikko...I think Nikko is the most overrated of those that are left. I'm not saying he's the worst, I'm just saying Randy and Paula's gushing after last week's performance was incomprehensible. Hell, he was off-key about 80 percent of the time.

By the way...does anyone here know how to find out what the theme of the show will be?
