And what about the creepy

And what about the creepy Celine Dion/Elvis duet?? How about taking the money it took to produce that and using it for a better cause??

I applaud AI for knowing it

I applaud AI for knowing it has an amazingly vast viewership and a huge opportunity to do good in this world. But I also agree that they should be less A.D.D. about it--Africa, New Orleans, Kentucky, and L.A.??--and focus a little. Let's hope that all the money they raised finds its way to where its supposed to be.

I'm tired of seeing Earth, Wind, and Fire and Rascal Flatts on every big AI event. Just stop. Kelly Clarkson was great, and she looks amazing again! Annie Lennox was fantastic. But how disappointed am I that Ryan mentions Bono at the very beginning of the show on Tuesday, and we only get him for a few minutes at the end of the show on Wednesday. And not even singing. Boo to that tease.

And I'm sorely disappointed no one got voted off during the love fest. I was a little disturbed by my normally nice self when I realized I was obscenely giddy thinking Jordin was going home. It's time for that kind of shake up!

Can't wait to see who goes home next week! Any idea of next week's theme?

For a moment at the end, I had flashbacks of last season: "Chris, a lot of people thought you could win this competition... Chris, you're going home."

Thankfully that wasn't the case, but I'm in agreement that it was a cheap way to hold us through to the end. Chris Richardson was all set to go home too (microphone in hand at the end to sing his final song).

Next week should be interesting with two people gone - they can probably expect a lot of votes to make sure someone doesn't go home too early.
