Tonight, two boys and two girls get the boot on American Idol. Before I get to who I want to leave and who I think will leave, I wanted to list my Top 4 from each group.

For the guys, my list looks like this...

4. Jason Castro - I would make a comment about his hair, but then I would have to make a comment about the hair of at least four other contestants. Let's just say he reminds me of a young John Travolta with dreadlocks. The judges let him play the guitar (that was a surprise) and he did a nice job with "Daydream" by the Lovin' Spoonful.

3. Robbie Carrico - He sang "One" by Three Dog Night and while he struggled with the higher notes, he gave it a nice spin. He's the rock version of Justin Timberlake.

2. Michael Johns - He's the Australian who ended the night with The Doors' "Light My Fire". I like his stage presence and confidence.

1. David Cook - He's another contestant with questionable hair, but his singing ability is unquestionable. He rocked The Turtles' "Happy Together". He's this season's Daughtry, if you believe in such things. I hope he makes it to the end.

A quick note about Davids: Besides Cook, there are two other contestants named David this year (Archuleta and Hernandez). It's a sign. I would like to believe it means American Idol is going to have its best season ever, but I fear it's just a harbinger of doom. A lot of people like Archuleta and while I like him, too, he isn't my favorite.

For the girls, my list looks like this...

4. Asia'h Epperson - After a stilted performance by Kady Malloy, Asia'h came out and knocked everybody out with her rendition of "Piece of My Heart" by Janis Joplin.

3. Syesha Mercado - Her happiness and energy is infectious. She sang "Tobacco Road". During the judges' critique, Paula tried to get her to say the word that was in the middle of her name ("yes"), as she had in Hollywood, and Syesha reluctantly complied.

2. Brook White - She also sang "Happy Together" by The Turtles. She had a much cleaner rendition of the song, but I liked it just the same.

1. Ramiele Malubay - She sang Dusty Springfield's "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" and she blew me away. While her voice was amazing, I was impressed by her hair. With so much product in it, her hairdo was tornado-proof.

Now, quickly, since the show is about to start, here are the four I want to leave.

For the guys, it would make me happy to see Jason "Generic" Yeager and Danny "Pucker" Noriega go home. While Yeager simply bored me, Noriega annoyed me. The only thing worse than his eye rolls were his lip puckers, which reminded me of Mick Jagger, another performer whose puckers I can't stand. He's obnoxious, arrogant, immature, and bound to make the Final 8.

Since both of them will be safe this week, Luke Menard, a.k.a. Orlando Bloom, and Garret Haley will be getting the boot. Menard was forgettable and Haley lacked stage presence.

For the girls, my opinion isn't as strong. If I had to choose, I would send Amy Davis and Kristy Lee Cook home. As for my prediction, I think Davis and Kady Malloy will get the boot.

Okay, enough Idol talk for this week. Time to write some comic strips while watching tonight's elimination episode.
