Elliot, like Lisa, won't make it because of the Dull factor. Too bad, both are talented.

Lisa and Elliot bore me to death. Lisa especially, they likened her to doing a school musical and that's exactly what it was. All she had to do was dig her fingertips into her dimples. Basically she's been a princess all her life, which means she has no idea how to truly "live" and emote through the lyrics that come out of her mouth. Hitting notes with a good tone isn't a performance.
Maybe in about 5-10 years when she's been dumped hard by a few boyfriends, lost a job, been rear-ended in a traffic accident, had a major death in the family, been stabbed in the back by a close friend - maybe her persona will, in the end, mature enough to sell those vocals and that cutie-pie visage will morph into confident depth.
Elliot was coached on how to feel his words by Barry Manilow - and did he do it? No. He has the same two facial expressions, same physical stance, same mic stand, same outfits, every week.
Chris will win. Taylor will linger but his style of singing is unlikely to get him voted into the top 3, I feel. Mandisa is going to have to fight to beat out Katharine/Paris, but if the US is as desparate for a rock star as I think they are, she could outsing Aretha Franklin and still not win.
I think Paris and Katharine are tied, not Paris and Kelly Pickler. Paris has a fabulous stage presence, and occasionally misjudges in her performances. Exact same issue for Katharine. Both have slight handicaps in their singing - Katharine goes very sharp and can't get out of it, but still sounds and looks good. Paris goes soft and raspy when she's not singing alto, but still looks good and has attitude.
Kelly Pickler's eyes were like dead seal eyes when she sang last week. All that makeup didn't help. Her winning game is her bubbly personality, which she totally squashed until after her song. She will be the first to leave out of the top players.
