The theme to tonight's show was, apparently, 'rock out'. Scott Savol obnoxiously claimed to be the real rocker of the group and rocked out to... Hall and Oates? Ew. Carrie Underwood did rock out to Pat Benatar and I thought she did a good job of it. Vonzell really rocked - she just gets better every week - and it was fun seeing Constantine sing Bohemian Rhapsody. He ain't no Freddy Mercury and his voice came perilously close to cracking at least once, but I give him an A for showmanship effort. Though he could still take a couple of lessons from last season's Canadian Idol 3rd place finisher Jacob Hoggard who went all Ziggy Stardust in very convincing fashion one episode. OTOH, the actual real rocker of the group, Bo (short for Bogart) Bice, was kinda coasting a little. He can afford to, but still - dude, do something other than carry the microphone stand around. (Bogart Bice? What were his parents thinking??)

If I had my druthers, Scott would be going home this week - his 'I'm so great' pre- and post-song attitude really bugged me. However, he seems to have a big fanbase while Nadia, who has a fantastic voice, seems to have a very unforgiving one. So my prediction this week is Nadia and I hope I'm wrong.

And was it my imagination, or was Ryan Seacrest hitting on Anwar with that 'still has time to work out' comment? :-)
