Battle Round #1: Elise v. Jessica
Well, drat. I’m already wrong on my B2 because I had these two duking it out for who would go home. And why is Jimmy biting my three faces of Jessica line? Jimmy IV, are you a secret Buffista? Y’all, Jimmy hates Elise so, so much. It’s really kind of uncomfortable to watch. Hmm, since there are only six people left, of course one is in the B3 and one is in the top 3. Really, Ryan? And it’s Elise. Makes sense when the choice is between these two. And I still think she’ll be the one to go home tonight no matter who else joins her on the Stools of Doom.
Oh, show. Nobody even remembers Stefano. And this song validates nobody completely. I refuse. Sub-Disney Channel level pablum.
Battle Round #2: Joshua vs. Hollie
Hmm, well this is an easy one, right? Yes, exactly. The only thing I ever want to hear Katy Perry sing . . . well, I never want to hear Katy Perry sing anything live because she’s terrible. Rather the only Katy Perry song I truly groove on is Firework. Although, if we have to see her, I’ll take the Fuck You, Russell Brand song. It’s kinda funky.
Battle Round #3: Skylar vs. Phil
Based on last night’s singing, it should easily be Skylar who is safe. Based on little girls who spend all night speed dialing, it should be Phillip. Who’s voting reigns supreme? Usually, the tweens will out. And so shall it ever be. But of course, Skylar goes right back, so this whole last match up didn’t matter at all. Way to waste my time, show.
Death Match: Hollie vs. Elise
This is a tough one. Elise is the better singer but she’s Idol old and Hollie closed the night in the pimp slot with a very solid performance. I’m thinking Elise has finally used up all her lives.
Elise. Exactly. She did way better than I thought she would. Top 6 for a 28 year old is not bad at all.
This is a really solid top 5. It’s almost making me want to go back and do a side by side comparison. It’s been a while since they’ve had this level of quality in a season for sure. I don’t hate any of these kids. I can’t remember when the last time was that happened. Hollie still needs to go, though. For real.
