My prediction a little over a month ago that Paris Bennett would win this year's American Idol was proven wrong last week when she was voted off. I don't think anyone could argue with her talent. But when not singing, she became annoying, and while singing, she became arrogant.
Tonight saw a much greater shock: the demise of Chris Daughtry. As a result, the final three will be Taylor, Kat and Elliott. Elliott produced a sterling performance last night to earn his place in the last three, as did Taylor. Kat was dreadful, and I am astounded that she survived the vote. I have no doubt that Chris will become successful despite not making the top three, but this was a real shock.
