in American Idol

It’s time to send someone home tonight. I have my pick for who needs to go home. Let’s see how it goes.

Jim Carrey is hamming it up in the audience, promoting Horton Hears a Hoo.

Time for the dreaded group number. At least they have some great songs to medley together tonight. I don’t think they have everyone’s microphones on. Oops. The choreography is fucking stupid.

Glad that is over.

We’re back to get to some results. Carly Smithson, Michael Johns, and Jason Castro are all safe. Syesha Mercado is in the bottom 3. She is asked to perform, and sings 100% better than she did last night. I don’t think she’s going to be leaving tonight, so she should get the chance to sing that well again next week.

Uh. The Ford commercial is weird. They’re doing “The Distance” by Cake. Trippy.

Chikezie is safe. Amanda Overmyer is safe. David Cook, my favorite from last night, is safe. Kristy Lee Cook is in the bottom 3. And we’re treated once again to the nightmare hoe down version of “Eight Days a Week.”

We’re trying something new tonight, taking calls from American Idol fans. This is a terrible idea. Just terrible.

Katherine McPhee and David Foster are on hand to perform my hands-down favorite Beatles song, ironically, not written by Lennon/McCartney, but George Harrison, “Something.” She is very pretty, and has strengthened as a singer since her tenure on Idol. This was a nice cover. I’m happy to hear that David Foster is working with Kat on her next album. Her first one was pretty crappy. David Foster has a way of making some killer discs.

Back to find the remaining bottom scraper. David Archuleta is of course safe. Duh. Brooke White is safe of course! It’s down to Ramiele Malubay and David Hernandez. Ramiele is safe, which means the bottom 3 are:

David Hernandez
Kristy Lee Cook
Syesha Mercado

The judges say that America got this bottom three exactly right.

Syesha is sent back to the chairs. She’s safe.

David Hernandez is sent packing. Your number is up, David. Sorry. Bye Bye! The combination of some bad press and a terrible song choice just did him in.

I do think he’s a better singer than Kristy Lee Cook, but you can’t underestimate the power of the country music fanbase.

What do you think, did America make the right choice?

 

okay haven’t seen this show, we only watch the try-outs because that is where the fun is. Anyway, Jason is a cutie and Amanda looks like a 40 year old trying to look like a teenager…uuugh!

DaDuck - I don’t think Amanda will be around too much longer, but there a few that need to go away first. I totally love Jason.

hello - I can’t imagine anyone feeling that strongly about her one way or the other. But ok.

I would have been find with either Hernandez or Cook going home, but America got Syesha wrong. Ramiele was worse this week and has done worse leading up to this week.

othurme - I think Ramiele did worse than Syesha, too. UMB will fist fight you about it, though.
