America can only take one Paris (and that one, barely) at a time. Last night American Idol fans booted Paris Bennett, the 17-year-old Fayetteville, Georgia native. Only four Idols remain. The Associated Press reports:
Contestants sang two songs — one from the year of their birth and one from any Billboard chart's current top 10 — in Tuesday night's program.
Though judges Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul praised Bennett's funky take on Prince's 1988 hit "Kiss," judge Simon Cowell derided it as "screechy" and "annoying."
In a turnaround, her second performance — a cover of Mary J. Blige's "Be Without You" — was deemed "pitchy" by Jackson but well received by Cowell.
"I think she did rather well with that," Cowell said.
But, if Julia Roberts has taught us anything, it's that a screechy and annoying rendition of "Kiss" can be career-launching as long as you’re singing it in a bubble bath -- and possess a smile so powerful that it can tame unicorns and move people to spend hundreds of dollars to see a play universally panned by critics.

I like Paris so all you paris haters go away!!!!!!!!!!
Katherine Mcphee has talent & real natural beauty. She looks like a young Jacqueline Smith. They should remake the "Wizzard of Oz" and cast her in the Judy Garland part. I can't get her redition of "Over the Rainbow" out of my head. At least they should make a new recording of this old song & bring some good music back to the music world. She has everything a star should have. I think most women are jealous of anyone who is prettier than they are. How anyone can say she is fat is crazy or needs glasses. It just jealousy.
Katherine is beautiful and has a georgious body. Shes not fat at all but she isnt a stick like most peeps in the spotlight today but i think that the thickness look is coming in more. I think she would be great in the R&B world. She got a soulfull voice and shes got the thick body that they do. Look at Beyonce, no one told her to lose a couple pounds and EVERYONE loves that girls body.
Unfortunately this is a generation that feels young women should be reed thin to look nice. Marilyn Monroe was thought to have a beautiful body, but now would be called "fat." As some of you pointed out, Katherine McFee has a beautiful body, healthy and curvacious. I was stunned to hear some of you say she needed to lose weight. She has no weight problem that I can see. I would be very disappointed to see her become skinny.
I think the theory that America doesn't want another black American Idol is ignorant, at best. There are several black musicians out there, so forgive my sounding naive, but what difference does it make if American Idol chooses a black contestant? Obviously they want the artist that will sell the most records. Paris got voted off because she wasn't up to par with Katherine and Chris. Like Simon says, you have to have the "It" factor, and while she could definitely sing, there was nothing about her that stood out and quite frankly, I found her irritating. I will admit, however, Taylor should have been voted off before Paris, and Mandisa got voted off way too early...
Paris, was an awesome singer with a unique and fresh voice and excellent showmanship. Who cares what she sounds like when she talks. Everyone always has to have an opinion about the way someone looks, how they talk, how they dress, the way they wear their hair, when noone is perfect and each and everyone of us has a flaw of some kind. She should not have been voted off at all. Katherine is beautiful and she is a great singer as well, but Katherine needs work. Everytime she sings she oversings her songs when she doesn't have to or need to. This is the same comment that the judges give her, and Katherine is not good at taking criticism either. I hope that if she wins, she takes in to consideration what the judges have told her throughout the competition and try to apply it, because for me, she doesn't measure up to a Kelly Clarkson or Carrie Underwood.
for agreeing with me, she looks totally fine, and will go far in music if she stays this way
thank you FIRST TIME SEEING IDOL
i dunno about the hollywood standards where u need to look like a starved tribal the deserts of sahara to look sexy but i think katherine mcfee is hot, shes the next door hot chick and i think that would work more
define textbook case plz.
oh this is too funny that my post from a week ago became the start of this Ian J. vs. Lola exchange! Too funny! Hey I still stick by my opinion that Katherine McFee will have to drop a couple of pounds to go far! High five to Ian J. for understanding where I was coming from with that comment and to Lola....???? Yikes! Just chill, it's only a blog and Ian J you are a funny guy! I like the way you used my way of typing what you feel the person is doing after they read the post!
Hilarious!!! You even kicked it up a notch with the humor!!!
Because you're a textbook case. It's what makes blogging with you so funny.
how did you know?!?!?!?!?!
********LOLA SLIDES DOWN THE WALL AND CURLS UP INTO THE FETAL POSITION WHILE CRADLING A HALF EMPTY BOTTLE OF JACK WITH A HAND FULL OF HER "PRESCRIPTION" HAPPY PILLS WHILE SOFTLY SINGING HERSELF A LULLABY AND ESTIMATING THE LAST TIME SHE TOOK HER TRIM SPA*******
i liked paris, i'm sad she left!!! i don't know who i'll vote 4 now! lola and ian j.: it's fun seeing you fight, keep it up.jk
i'm know i'm right...thank you very much! why are yo so rude?!?!? this whole thing wasn't mean until you came into the picture, so just STOP IT ALREADY!!!!! o, and i don't care that other people have a different opinion than mine, i just wanted to share mine like they shared theirs. and i'm not super sensitive!
...yes Lola...whatever you say Lola...you are thin Lola...you are right Lola...you are very strange Lola!
P.S. I never saw anyone say "fat" but you my dear :)

i am not fat!!! ur mean!!! this whole thing started out with a stupid thing about some fat person, so let's just end it now! i'm not giving up, i just think it's stupid to be fighting about one paragraph that was written. and sarah johnson...can't u read?!?!?!?!back to ian j.:i don't think ur funny, so stop trying to be. o, and i suppose u'll stick up for miss sarah johnson, like u explained everything to her.
oic. i totally agree with u. lola, stop being so uptight about things. and ian j., i think that if she does make it to the top, that she will probably get a trainer, and slim herself down. this blogging thingy is so weird. o, and ian j., i don't see where they took off your last 2 blogs with lola, just wondering.
Oh was responding to "Lola" who freaked out on me because I agreed with the person named "And The Winner is" who posted that Katherine will need to lose a couple of pounds or the "biz" will make her feel bad about herself. She freaked all out on me so I responded to her and the site removed both of our last posts to each other :) I thought this a place to put your opinion and she got all extra sensitive and offended so I figured she must be a little "plump" herself to have taken it so personal : ) Nothing wrong with a slightly "plump" chick. I date them too sometimes....It just doesn't normally help a girl who is actually trying to be on the side of the biz that Katherine McFee is. That's all.
ian j.--what are you taking about?
....OKAY LOLA...IT'S ALRIGHT...IT'S OKAY...CALM DOWN...POP ANOTHER PAXEL BABY! IT'S JUST THE WEIGHT OF SOMEONE YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT WE ARE DISCUSSING HERE...DID WE SKIP OUR MEDS TODAY? IT'S NOT THAT SERIOUS....TRY BEING THAT PASSIONATE ABOUT SOME REAL ISSUE THE WORLD IS FACING LIKE ABUSE OF CHILDREN, STARVATION, OR THE WAR IN IRAQ.HA HA
AN AMERICAN IDOL KID BEING A BIT "THICKER" THEN THE BUSINESS CALLS FOR IS HARDLY A REASON TO GET ALL CRAZY....ACTUALLY I THINK I GET IT NOW...YOU ARE HUSKY CHICK YOURSELF...OKAY...MY BAD....I GET IT...HUSKY IS OKAY...THERE IS THAT BETTER? HA HA HA
hey KK, why do u think american idol is prejudice just cuz ur favorite singer got voted off the show? boo hoo! ok, no one cares!!! is not the peepz on the show who vote, it's peepz in america, so don't blame the show! god! and why do u think they r preejudice anyways, they have black people on all the time! or people with weird hair, or whatever! the only reason paris got voted off is because she SUCKED!!!!!!!!
ShortyK is so wrong!
That was so messed up!Paris was one of the best!Has America lost it's mind!OMG, or is AI just prejudice I would really like to know!
i don't care what u say, ian j. but she does not need 2 lose weight. just get over yourself being such a problem solver and help us all. and i only said she was fat because other poeple did and i needed to defend her
OKAY LOLA....I read back all of the posts to try to find one that claimed Katherine was fat and didn't see it. I guess you are responding to the guy or girl who is named "AND THE WINNER IS". That was a pretty funny post and made me laugh but I failed to see where that person was calling her "fat" either. He/she simply said "lose a couple of pounds" to look the part and I must say that is true. Sorry! The truth really does hurt huh? By the way...using Reuben Studdard as an example was pretty dumb because if you take a look at how lack luster Reuben's career has been since the show, I think it only further supports the need to lose weight comment! Sorry!
I think paris is good but not that good and my vote will be elliot, and its been like that since day one but if there happens to be a second guest i would go with chris.
katharine mcphee is not fat!!! she doesn't need to lose weight! look at ruben studdard, he hasn't lost any weight because he won. she is way more talented than chris, so it doesn't even matter. go katharine!
