...MSNBC's Craig Berman. The dude is funny, caustic and insightful. Check out some of his comments about tonite's elimination show....
[Paris] was among the lowest vote-getters so often that she was starting to look like Seacrest’s co-host every Wednesday.
Her departure made for one of the least surprising results shows of the season. Bennett’s been on the firing line for so long that it was anticlimactic when she finally got the boot. Her parents and family were smiling in the audience, she was smiling on stage — it was the happiest departure on a Fox show since Shannon Doherty left “Beverly Hills 90210.”
[Paris]was a lot calmer than some of her older rivals even as the competition heated up. Katharine McPhee admitted she was starting to feel the pressure, and Elliott Yamin said he could see himself in the finals standing in a pool of his own sweat (Right Guard advertising department, are you listening?).
While the rest of the remaining finalists have had moments where it looked as if their next stop could be a packed arena (or at least a trendy nightclub), Bennett always appeared to be trying to win a spot in the glee club before heading back to her room to do her trigonometry. Her lucky charms are her princess crown and her SpongeBob SquarePants doll, for crying out loud.
Yamin has nearly a decade on Bennett, as well as some magical power that keeps the judges from criticizing him...He finished with the second-fewest votes, and is in big trouble next week. He looks as if he tries the hardest of everyone in the competition, and gets better every week. But the others aren't still waiting for him to catch up, so his best hope is for someone else to make a mistake.
That person may well be McPhee, who looked for a time as if she was about to throw up onstage. At 21, she’s now the youngest singer left in the competition, and she needs to calm down and step it up, or at least stop picking Phil Collins songs.
Next week brings a trip to Graceland for an Elvis workshop, which means Taylor Hicks will get to revisit the Memphis places where he and The King hung out when they both were kids in the 1940s.
Some funny, funny stuff. The full review can be found here:
