Sweet Nadia

Nadia Turner, one of the most polished performers ever to grace the stage of "American Idol", got sent home tonight.

That is, on the one hand, so wrong. She was miles above every other performer except possibly Bo Bice.

On the other hand ... Nadia is a star. No compromises. She showed everyone her talent, professionalism, and versatility, and all winning the competition would have gotten her would have been strictures and bad advice.

For you, Sweet Lady, and all of the visitors here at Cocktails with Molly -- a Lady's Cocktail. I'll miss you.

(But Bo? Come around here, darlin', and you and I will sneak off back for a round of Lynyrd Skynyrds. You were hot with "Remedy" tonight.)
