I mean, that's what it feels like this season. The singing's been good, but when you have a bunch of kids not even out of high school yet, it's really hard to get a performance out of someone who hasn't even gotten past second base.

But with 6 out of the 16 people left 20 years old or younger, it's a pretty good chance one of the little cherubs is going all the way. Bodog has the odds on which age group is going to win this season.

16-20 is at 1/3, and think about who's been good so far in that group: Archuleta and Ramiele. That could probably be the top two, if people vote for them during the season. 21-25 is at 17/4,and you've already got Carly in that group of folks, who's been signed and knows the downhill slide already. Then you have 26 or Older at 21/4, which basically leaves Michael Johns, and as good (and hot) as he is, he really is the old man of the group. Last year, Melinda and LaKisha were the old ladies, and they had the stamina, but Jordin somehow pulled it out at the end.

The way the girls scream at David Archuleta, he might as well be the New Kids On The Block all over again. Or New Edition, because he's like Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, and Mike, and Ralph and Johnny, all wrapped up in a baby blanket. Aww.

And in case you missed it last week, here's Alaina crying like a brat at last week's elimination:
