American Idol - Down to 9

So the big "shocker" is that Katharine is in the bottom 3 - or actually bottom 2. I won't listen to the hype anymore, because the person who actually went home was the most obvious choice of all -- Lisa Tucker. Lisa had been in the bottom 3 2 weeks in a row, so it was pretty much a given that she would be leaving.

Ace had the third lowest votes, no surprise there. He hasn't been doing well, and he completely underwhelmed everyone on that Train song on Tuesday.

So Simon, who I think said Katharine was the best of the night on Tuesday, says 'Oh, I watched it back and it wasn't that good afterall.' What's up with that? I didn't think it was good either, but on Tuesday he said she was "almost as good as Christina Aguilara." Seems like they were trying to hype her up a little to keep her in the contest. Simon's loosing some credibility as a judge on that one.
