Elliott doesn't look like Elliott. I liked that he looked a little quirky, like a cute troll. He has huge fake teeth now, and they sort of scared me. He still sounds great, but I LIKED his imperfections.

As for the Melinda booting, this goes to show the complete and utter stupidity of the American public. She was, by far, the most consistent and talented performer that has ever appeared on Idol. I'm just wondering if Simon's remark last night about putting Melinda through to the finals, and that he didn't CARE who else was in it, backfired, and pushed Blake and Jordin through.

Although I think Blake is cute and uniquely talented, between the two finalists, I'll have to back Jordin. As for VFTW, that's absurd. Blake has plenty of talent.
