MTV LINKSurprise performance: The biggest shocker Tuesday was that with seven still standing, there were no weak links. Even Simon Cowell liked everyone, Ace Young included. If we had to name one surprise it would be Chris Daughtry, who needed to show some diversity and did just that with his understated but solid rendition of "What a Wonderful World."
Fashion hits and misses: It was a terrific week for music and a terrific week for style. Katharine McPhee has come around with another stunning look and Chris is starting to reinvent himself as often as Paris Bennett. The only miss was Ace, not for the classy suit, but the ponytail that said "high school jock" almost as clearly as his sleeveless T-shirts had in previous weeks. And then there was the Paula Abdul cleavage we have come to know so well.
Who will go: Headline writers everywhere are drooling: "Ace Doesn't Ace 'Idol'." "Ace In The Hole." "Ace Is Dealt A Return To His Full House." He was decent, but it wasn't enough.
