I'll try to respond in order...<BR/><BR/>First, I try to avoid getting into that weird Ryan-Simon stuff if at all possible, because it usually strikes me as just a huge, lame distraction from the matter at hand, not an integral part of the show. That's just my opinion, obviously, but it seems clear to me that Si 'n' Ry are actually friends, and their banter often strikes me as ridiculously forced. Plus, as you can see, I tend to write a lot as it is, so I figured if I had to leave something out, I'd leave out that. <BR/><BR/>Second, you're right - color me totally sheepish, but yeah, I absolutely misheard the "American Idol Challenge" and have corrected my blog accordinly. I was kind of tired last night and must have had what we here at the paper call a "brain blip." So, I guess it's safe to say you won't be seeing me in the audience, or as the winner of the $10,000 given for a correct answer, haha!<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure I can agree with the idea that Phil should stayed longer than one of the remaining three girls. He had a good voice, but seemed to have trouble connecting with the audience, and I felt like it was his time to go. Given that an even number of guys and girls remained before last night's elimination, it seems to me that the idea of the girls as better than the guys has not survived as strongly as one would have thought at the beginning of the finals. That said, I'm hoping Blake sticks around a while, too - it'd definitely add variety to the show, and I'd rather not be subjected to an unrelenting barrage of belting, too, truth be told.Jen Aronoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01143735560541943835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24097106.post-67913746196859931112007-05-03T10:41:00.000-04:002007-05-03T10:41:00.000-04:00Thanks for the blog--I always look forward to your...Thanks for the blog--I always look forward to your comments and almost inevitably agree with your views.
