IDOL UPDATE: TOP 7 REPEAT-GRADES & WHO GOES HOME?

TOP 7, Season 11, American Idol
The TOP 7 Idol Contestant's performed a 'NOW & THEN' song selection on Wednesday night, with the first song from the year 2000 and on, and the 2nd song a selection from 'Classic Soul Songs'. Here's a short version breakdown of the night and who is 'probably' leaving, but after last week's shocking results, who knows how America will vote, and remember.....the judges save was used last week with Jessica, so no one has a safety net tonight. Drum roll please, dim the lights.....here we go....

BEST OF THE TOP 7:
  Hollie Cavanaugh.......YES.......believe it or not, Hollie was the only one of the night in my opinion to have two solid performances and ended up as my 'BEST' of the evening......OVERALL GRADE: A

VERY GOOD:
Phillip Phillips......a solid back-to-back performance.....OVERALL GRADE: B+
Joshua Ledet......solid on both songs and the Sam Cooke song to end the show was awesome....OVERALL GRADE: B+

GOOD ENOUGH TO BE 'SAFE'?:
Skylar Laine......she connected on both songs with the audience and had great stage presence.....OVERALL GRADE: B

IN TROUBLE & BOTTOM 3? DON'T BE SHOCKED AGAIN THIS WEEK!:
Colton Dixon........I thought his first Lady Gaga song was better than his 2nd EW+F song, but neither was great.....GRADE: C+
Elise Testone........Think she's in trouble again, as neither song was a memorable moment, and the judges were not very complimentary either.........GRADE: B-
Jessica Sanchez.......YES.......again I think she ends up here, not because she deserves it, as she was very good on one song and OK on the 2nd,  but just because America is that stupid 2 weeks in a row to not vote for her.....OVERALL GRADE: B

WHO GOES HOME?:
I say the bottom two tonight are ELISE and COLTON.......and ELISE, Miss 'Bottom 3' of Season 11, finally gets sent home!

OK.....that's a quick wrap-up from Eddie Idol on this week's performances! Let's see what happens after America votes tonight on FOX!

    I'd have to disagree with you on Josh Ledette; he had two outstanding performances last night. It is somewhat clear that he's not your style of performer based on your past reviews... I can get that.

    I think any of the remaining seven can win it all. Elise likely goes home tonight. I'm not two keen on double Phillip, but the judges love him and so do many fans. I have no idea who the other contestant going home would be.

    Hollie's problem is that she has little stage presence, and often seems wooden out there. Great vocals, no presence.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Josh goes home; he's knocking it out of the park, but its not a genre that most fans are going to love. And factoring in the demographics, I think that keeps Colton safe.

      I was only off by one Ray, and not shocked at all by Colton going home! Certainly do NOT think Hollie deserved 'bottom 3' status, despite little stage presence, after two solid performances.
      What all this does tell me is that this is the year that a GIRL wins the Idol crown! 4 girls and only two guys left, so I think it's safe to assume that one of the gals will be sent home next week, but I do expect a gal to win this year.
