It was almost a shocker tonight as Chris Daughtry was in the "bottom two" of "American Idol."
Ace Young was voted off - and can now start that "pouty looks to the camera" tour with Constantine from last season.
Two seasons ago, Fantasia was in the bottom two for one week. This year, it was Chris.
Almost makes me wonder if he was actually in the bottom two, or if they like to give the top people a scare so they don't cruise through. (Probably not, but it's a fun theory.)
Next week, the Idols will sing some of the "greatest love songs."
To Daughtry, I say, "good luck." They're really putting him in categories outside of his comfort zone. We'll see how he handles it.

Jeff,
I'm actually shocked at your suggestion that the outcome last night was determined by any factor other than viewer voting. American Idol rigged? You can't be serious.
Personally, I think viewer voting explains a lot here. Who's got the time and inclination to call hundreds of times an hour? I'd suggest to you that 11-15-year-old girls make up the bulk of the voters. They (and their moms) aren't partial to bald men. They like girls who are quite a lot like themselves, non-threatening types like Clay Aiken and big huggable teddy bears like Ruben.
Thus, your winner this year will be either Kelly or Paris. My money's on Paris.
