Growing up …<\/p>\n

I spent many of my years of youth living in Tennessee,<\/p>\n

On the same side of the state as Memphis,<\/p>\n

And about 80 miles away from the city of setting for this movie<\/a> (which is a story we were told in the second grade during library hour on Halloween and to this day still scares the krap out of me).<\/p>\n

In fact,<\/p>\n

I was in Tennessee when Elvis died,<\/p>\n

And heck,<\/p>\n

I even like peanut butter and bananas.<\/p>\n

But here’s the thing …<\/p>\n

I’m really not an Elvis fan.<\/p>\n

I basically like two Elvis songs,<\/p>\n

Suspicious Minds, and …<\/p>\n

Kentucky Rain.<\/p>\n

Beyond that …<\/p>\n

I Feel So Bad about saying this, <\/p>\n

But I really never got the Elvis Presley thing.<\/p>\n

Seriously,<\/p>\n

Elvis and J-Lo both got a career making benefit from the untimely death of another, more-talented performer,<\/p>\n

(Ahem, that would be Buddy Holly and Selena, respectively.)<\/p>\n

Anyways,<\/p>\n

None of the performers really got me All Shook Up.<\/p>\n

Though A Little Less Conversation from the judges sure was nice. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Oh well …<\/p>\n

Taylor:<\/em> First song he was drunk again, second song he was solid.<\/p>\n

Chris: <\/em>He didn’t bang the first song as hard as I thought he could, I didn’t feel the emotion. Second song was light too. Probably his worst night yet.<\/p>\n

Katherine: <\/em>She lost the lyrics in the first song, ’nuff said. Second song I thought she brought it home, despite being pitchy in the end. Her second weak night in a row.<\/p>\n

Elliot: <\/em>Not being an Elvis fan, I didn’t even know the song If I Can nor recognized Trouble, however, I thought kicked but in both. Maybe it’s my fondness for the underdog, or those with dental challenges, butt anyways … Elliot got my votes this week.<\/p>\n

Bottom Two:<\/em> Taylor is safe because of his fanbase plus he’s also the Vote For The Worst candidate now that Kellie is gone. I think Elliot vaulted himself to the top two this week. Bottom two then are Chris and Katharine.<\/p>\n

Going Home: <\/em>Paris is going home tonight, no wait, scratch that … I have to come up with something new this week !!! \"-)\" It’s close between Katharine and Chris … I think Chris was forgettable last night and has lost some of his luster, I think that Katherine has a great voice, but is weak when it comes to performance. My guess … Chris lost too many votes to Elliot this week, sadly, he’s going home. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
