I think it goes without saying that if Kupono had made the bottom three (and wasn't that a surprise, that he and Kayla were safe while Melissa/Ade weren't?) then he would have been eliminated instead, and the show wouldn't have brought him back for the tour.
Nigel even admitted before the bottom three pairs were announced that the judges (meaning: him) have already made up their minds on who should go and who should stay and whom they want to make the top 10, so why even bother with solos and a bottom three and let the judges kick off their least favorites every week?
Also, I was going to give Phillip extra points for using the diva's uber-cool song from The Fifth Element for his solo, except that the crowd was cheering so loudly that I couldn't hear it!
In other news, this is a hilarious story about indifferent airlines and how to make them pay:
Anyone who's lost a bag or had their stuff damaged by an airline knows the frustration -- you spend hours on the phone, often with a call center in India, and feel like you're getting nowhere.
Such was the plight of Dave Carroll, a Canadian musician who says United Airlines baggage handlers smashed his favorite Taylor guitar as he changed planes at O'Hare. As Carroll and the rest of the band sat on the plane, another passenger saw the baggage handlers tossing guitars to one another and shouted, "My God, they're throwing guitars out there!"
Carroll said the base of his guitar was smashed. He tried to reason with United for months to get them to pay the $1,200 repair cost -- but he got the run-around, and ultimately they wouldn't. So, Carroll did what he does best. He wrote a song about it, "United Breaks Guitars."
