WOW! I could not believe it! There was tension in the air when they were about the announce the encore performer. And it was Suzie McNeil! She had a great performance with that body surfing at the end being pretty cool! But frankly, I thought Ty would get the call tonight. What happened afterward was of course shocking.

Firstly, Ty was in the bottom three.

Secondly, Marty was in the bottom three.

And most shockingly, Jordis was NOT in the bottom three.

What the heck! Are you kidding me? Marty had a solid performance and Ty had a darn good show. Still, I guess the public does not see it that way. The problem for the rockers is that they have to first please the band members of INXS and at the same time understand that ultimately, the voters are the general public. And what INXS likes in the hall may not be what the public would like outside and on TV.

Its a tough show.

Anyway, I knew for sure that Marty would be safe. I have said before that my personal ‘last 3 standing’ would be JD, Marty and Suzie.

Last night, during and after the show, I told the wife that Deanna would be the next to go and she was. I did not guess the encore correctly because I thought Ty would have the encore. And I thought Mig, Jordis and Deanna would be in the bottom 3. I was so wrong there.

I think the next to go logically would be Mig. We’ll see what happens next. Now that the field is decreasing, I suspect more trickery coming into the competition.
