Well, I can't believe that I've been forced to wait a whole season for the return of 'group singing' on elimination nights! Whatever have I done to deserve such treatment? Good grief! Must they subject us to such 'cheeziness'?

On a good note, I did get three out of four elimination predictions right:John Park, Jermaine Sellars and Haeley Vaughn. Michelle Delamar was a surprise for me, but she was a very gracious loser. Good on her for having such a positive attitude and getting through the whole song with no tears. Very impressive. I do feel sorry for all 'eliminatees' having to sing their song after the bad news. That would be very tough!

Great to see Danny Gokey back for his single debut: 'My Best Days are Ahead of Me'. I've been wondering where he's been and what he's been doing. I thought he was a potential winner with his talent and great attitude. I guess he's been working hard--he has a new album coming out titled: 'My Best Days' on Tuesday March 9th.

On a delicious little side note: according to 'AI Insider' some of our past 'Idols' are debuting in shopping malls and Best Buy stores around the country. So when Simon says you sound like a 'Lounge Act' or any other of his famous critiques, he may just be right on the mark!

Until next week Idol Fans, this is Jill Berry signing out.
