Idol Predictions

It's Agatha Christie time on "Idol."  And then there were three.  A.I. keeps losing the ladies. What's up with that?  Way back when, Season Nine belonged to the femmes, but they're getting bumped off in favor of some less talented dudes. I'll tell you this much:  it's making the SJG wicked nervous.  But then, so many things do.  List available upon request.


Gone:  Paige Miles, Lilly Scott, Katelyn Epperly, Lacey Brown, and, as of last night, per the SJG's prediction, Didi Benami.  They all showed tremendous promise, didn't they?  Talent is a dumb thing to waste.  At least Didi gets to stick around for the summer tour, but can she milk this thing after that?  Uh, doubtful. 

Hanging:  Katie Stevens, Crystal Bowersox, Siobhan Magnus.  Next week could send Katie back to Grandma, after Wednesday's stint at the bottom three.  Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing her go.  She's not there yet.  She needs seasoning.  A pinch of paprika, a tablespoon of life experience.  Girl needs to get her heart stomped.  Suffering  makes the big diff between Katie and Aaron K, her 16-year-old counterpart.  That boy brings a touch of woe to the table and works it, nicely.  Plus, he listens to the judges and the mentors.  Katie is stubborn.  She's her own top adviser.  Good luck with that, hon.  At 16, I knew bupkis.  Then again, my rendition of Laura Nyro's "And When I Die" on guitar was "something else." Everbody said so.  Hmm.  That's a little vague.  Where was Simon Cowell when I needed him? 

The next gal to go will be Siobhan. Thanks to the judges, she's bought her own hype and wound up wicked lost.  She's going ba-bye and soon.  In the end, we'll have Crystal, the most gifted of them all, versus Big Mike or maybe Lee D.  Aaron is the darkhorse.  He could wind up in the top three, even the top two. 

Boys To Go:  If we're lucky, Tim the Cuteness will go before Katie.  The Teflon coating can only last so long.  Next goes Andrew, followed by Casey, who will have a career no matter what.  Why?  He is the Hotness, that's why.  Watch him head to Nashville.  Dude's going to be fine.  Trust me on this, people.  Am I ever wrong? 

The SJG's top three prediction, followed by a giant kina hora poo-poo-poo:  Lee D., Crystal, Big Mike.  Not ready to call the winner yet, but y'all know my top pick, anyway.
