American Idol Blogger Breaks Down The Elite Eight

It's down to eight on American Idol. Who is going home tonight?

Eight is enough…Or at least until Thursday night's show.

Week after week this is going to get much tougher. Everyone left can certainly sing, what is being tested now is who can sing a wider range of songs and genres.

I have my favorites, my mind is certainly shifting and I see a guy being crowned American Idol Season 11.

Well I’ve said it before but DeAndre’s days are numbered. They just have to be. He doesn’t compare to the others in this competition but the judges love him. As much as I hate it, Elise is in danger after last night's performance. She was flat the entire song. I hate it, because I think of all the girls left in the competition, she is the only one who really sings with emotion and passion. As expected, Phillip did great. At this point, the only thing that would surprise me about a Phillip Phillips performance would be if it wasn’t great! He’s safe!

Next Up, Joshua, he did outstanding. He should be safe for this week. Jessica, aka Powerhouse, her voice is so strong! I’m sure she will be in the top three this season. She’s safe this week. Hollie is on the bubble for bottom this week. She is a great singer but she overthinks it too much. She sings with no emotion or connection.

Colton did another good job, time after time. He’s safe for the week.

Skylar closed the show--'Wind Beneath My Wings' and she just flew! She needed to WOW America and I think she did just that. She’s safe.

My picks for the bottom 3 are: DeAndre, Elise & Hollie. I think we may be saying “goodbye” to Hollie.
