You are right about Elliot singing boring songs but his voice is so nice it makes up for it.
I think Paris was exposed as being immature (vocally and performance-wise). But in a few years she will be dynamite.
I agree Kat's one good song kept her alive.
As I keep telling my wife, Taylor and Chris just have to keep it in the building, due to their huge fan bases (I think when Chris was in the bottom 3 was an abberation). We have a coming clash of civilizations: Classic Rock/Rockabilly vs. Alternave Rock/Metal.
Go back and listen to Home again....
Who do you think that song is for? Imagine a woman sitting at home waiting for her man, he's signing her a song about being away from her too long and he just wants to get back to her.
A tune like that helps a guy out who's spent too much time away from his lady. Send her that and she just might be really, really happy to see him when he gets back.
