Blake Schwendiman's Blog and Blook

I want to reiterate that picking the person that's going to be voted off American Idol is not a difficult task. It's not rocket science, and it's not reciting 8,784 digits of π. It's just not that tough.

However, I'm giving myself a gold star for last night. I got it right again.

I do want to comment on the fact that Ace was in the bottom three, though. The whole audience seemed to be surprised he was there, but here's my theory: Ace is a decent performer, but he's neither the best nor the worst. I haven't voted for him for several weeks because he's not that good. My theory is that most Idol voters assume that someone else will be voting for Ace. That's what I think. He probably won't be in the bottom of the votes again for a couple of weeks though because the people who like him more than somebody else will include him in their voting. But I still won't.
