Grr Arrrgh. My webhost is apparently having severe database issues. Hence the lateness (and terseness) of this.

Interesting guest coaches this year…Gwen Stefani! Cool. And Tony Bennett, so we have a standards or 1950s-style night, which is good for me. I heard we were getting a Beatles theme–apparently it’s British Invasion now. And BeeGees, so we’ve got disco, then? Meh.

Guys up first. Brandon is safe. Good. Sundance is safe. Darn. (I hear DialIdol predicted him in the lead for votes–incredible that.) Chris Richardson is safe. Awesome. Nick is safe! Woohoo! Blake is safe. Yay! Paul is voted off. I was right. Because I rock. And Paul does not.

Now for the first girl off. Jordin is safe. Great. Stephanie is safe. Nice. Sabrina is safe. She deserves it. Leslie is safe. Meh. Melinda is safe. Obviously. Antonella…is safe. Wow. She was totally expecting to go home, and I wouldn’t have really been that surprised, although a tad disappointed. And it’s Amy, from the bench, going home. Geez, Ryan. Mean. I’m 2-2 on kick-off predictions.

And Fantasia sings. I didn’t watch that season except a few times, and I didn’t care for her too much. She’s a’ight.

More girls. Haley is safe. Yay! LaKisha is safe. As it should be. Gina is safe. Great. Alaina is safe. Good. Nicole goes home. And…I’m 3-3. I should have money riding on these things.

And the end for a second guy. Chris Sligh is safe. Cool. Phil is safe. Good. Jared is safe. Yay! A.J. is safe. Nice. Down to Rudy and Sanjaya. Rudy is going home, and Sanjaya is safe (and in the top 4 boys). And I’m 4-4, except that I really would’ve expected Sundance to go home instead of Paul, but I still thought Paul was a strong possibility.
