American Idol: Kellie Pickler in a pickle

At +1100 odds of being eliminated going into the Tuesday Night April 18 performance show, our Jenny Woo says "this is a no-brainer"

Kellie Pickler was right.  She butchered the song she sang, and don't ask Jenny to remember what she sang as my ADT was kicking in.

Okay let me give it to y'all straight, this was the best American Idol performance show of the season and I love Rod Stewart, still sexy as ever (and so is his daughter for that matter - YOWZA!).

But here is the dilemma: Pickler was standout awful!  She needs to go.  At +1100 odds of being eliminated, this will be the biggest payout of the season should America see it the way we do at online betting sites like PlayersOnly.com (See Web Site Here) which offer elimination odds.

Her "butchering" that song was an understatement.

"With our luck someone will "butcher it" more than she did," commented Gambling911.com's own Destiney Lewis during the live interactive American Idol Ladies Night...."I'm surprised she even knew that phrase!"

And while there were some great performances, it seems the stand out was the last performance, that would be Katharine McPhee.

Simon Cowell went as far as to say she made the others seem like "amateurs trying to be pros".

McPhee offered solid payout odds to win the competition entirely.

Chris Daughty was the favorite to win and his performance was quite good but go lost among the other solid showings.

And Ace Young, who was favored to be eliminated by -150 entering tonight, should stick around another week.  He did pull it off, style and all.
