Rah... I got a heartache man. How come Carly Smithson can be eliminated on the night she brought the house down??!! I don't get it. How come the best two of the night can be in the bottom two while the one who did badly for 2 weeks in a row did not even land herself in the bottom??!!

Admittedly, I did not expect Carly to win the show. But I expect her to be in the top 5 at least.

Sorry arh jul, I know she's ur fave but I think Brooke White should be elminated this week. She did badly last week (she totally ruined the hero song for me) and she did badly this week. On the other hand, Carly was AMAZING last night. Rah...

Carly's top 12 performance

Carly's performance last night.

And I think Syesha can be declared "The Survivor of American Idol's bottomers" because I seen her in bottom two or three COUNTLESS times and she is still here!

Now I am rooting for David Cook. And if he doesn't win, then the viewers must be idiots!

And I am forseeing a all Davids finale. I thought that if Carly really up her game, at least she has a chance of upsetting that scenario but with her gone, that scenario is more or less fixed. The others don't have a chance...

Sighz...

Actually, just one note to add. I was really surprised at how Mariah Carey mentored the contestants. I meant, I told Irene the other day, I thought she will just give some very superficial comments and that's it but I think she really mentored them. Or maybe it's because they are singing her songs and so she can't risk them singing badly... in any sense, did anyone notice that the contestants only chose her early days songs? Proves that her early days songs are really better... but then again, the production team is really dumb as well. I mean, it's Mariah Carey's songs. Only people who have that 5 octave range can sing her songs lah! Ask the contestants to sing is like suicide but luckily it did not turn out too bad... =)

Anyway, my sem is now officially over. Marketing Research is ready for submission, and global marketing presentation was over. I was really surprised by how we weren't grilled AS MUCH for our presentation. The questions asked were at least.... answerable. Maybe we have backup for all the information we put in the report (the 50++ page appendix is really helpful...) Hope we can get good grades for that report as well...

And took pictures!! This group is really fun to work with! Except when Ivan just hands in him part a few DAYS late... but at least he treated us to BK because of this! Haha! Got free lunch! But really glad to know them... esp Hei Jie aka Aiwei who lent me her hk dvds!
