I predicted that America would rank the contestants Jena, Caleb, Alex, Dexter, C.J., Sam, and Jessica. My own ranking was quite different, but I felt the judges' comments were very influential and might persuade America to vote for some contestants and ignore others.
Find The Lame Catchphrase
Last night, I followed the lead of Idol judges and made up some nonsensical phrases that described performing attributes of our contestants. Here are those phrases, with their definitions.
Rocking The Chair: being a wise, professional performer while still rocking and rolling
Hammering The Nail: hitting the performance bullseye
Splitting The Feather: hitting the performance bullseye again
Hitching A Ride To The Beach: finally finding one's niche
Dealing With The Apple Core: closing a performance well
Flipping The Rug: successfully rearranging a song entirely differently from its original version
Vacuuming Consciousness: connecting with an audience (especially for the first time)
Potting The Fern: harnessing a technique that gives a performance a solid base
Start using those in your everyday conversations about music, and maybe they'll catch on, since they're so cool, and all.

Thigh High Boots
When worn the right way, thigh high boots are a do. JLo is wearing them the right way. It's a do.
Ryan
Calm thyself. Last night he was looking down Jennifer's dress. Tonight he's commenting on the short shorts. She looked uncomfortable... like, because of Ryan... not because her shorts were too short.
Tweets
"We got to tweet during commercial breaks." ...because The Man won't let us tweet whenever we'd like.
Dex B2'd
I had Dexter in my lowest spot last night, but I thought America would vote him into a higher position. Wrong.
Jessica B2'd
I had Jessica as #5 for me, but I said America would listen to the judges' inane ramblings and send her home. Hope I'm wrong. This is Jessica's first time in the Bottom 2 or 3.
Goodbye, Dexter.
Well, I'll miss him, but he deserved to go before Jessica. Guess he didn't really deal with that apple core after all. His sendoff song was well sung... one of his better ones, recently.
Ranking
I'm officially reporting my ranking for the remaining contestants. It is:
6. Sam
5. C.J.
4. Jessica
3. Alex
2. Jena
American Idol: Caleb
