Why Relying On Tivo (Er, Comcast DVR) Is Bad

Something happened with my DVR last night during American Idol. It taped the first few performances, then stopped, and then taped the last two. Which meant I didn't get to see Elliott's performance. (Or Kellie's, but, c'mon.) And it also cut off during the ending credits where they review everyone's performance, so I didn't get a chance to see Elliott then either.

I'm so bummed. I've read this morning that Elliott gave an amazing performance, and since announcing that I'm on Team Elliott, I was so looking forward to it. Sigh. I'm now sort of hoping that he's in the bottom three just so that he can sing it again, but that is the type of wish I will seriously regret if he is in fact in the bottom three and ends up getting kicked off. So I take it back. Eek.

As for the performances I did see, I thought they were all excellent. Especially Paris and Katharine. As the judges astutely pointed out, both of their performances were remniscent of their auditions.

I hope either Ace or Kellie go home tonight. I'd also like to make a plea that anyone who saw Elliott's performance leave a detailed comment so I can pretend like my DVR didn't screw up and pretend that I actually watched the performance. Thanks.
