										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://assets.nydailynews.com/img/2010/02/24/alg_american_idol.jpg" target="_blank"><img decoding="async" fetchpriority="high" height="358" width="477" src="https://www.premiumhollywood.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/American-Idol-0312.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>&#8220;American Idol&#8221; got down from 16 contestants to 12 last night, in effect reaching the &#8220;magical&#8221; Top 12 final round.  From here on out, everyone will perform on one night and the results, with one person being eliminated each week, will be announced the following night.  There were a few surprises last night, and probably two that America really got correct.  As Seacrest would say, &#8220;dim the lights, here we go&#8230;.&#8221;</p>
<p>The show opened with the Top 16 singing their ridiculous weekly group number, this week a Michael Buble song that I&#8217;m happy to report I&#8217;ve never heard before.  Then Ryan announced that next week the contestants will be choosing songs by The Rolling Stones.  I&#8217;m pretty excited about this&#8230;.it doesn&#8217;t get any more legendary in rock than the Stones, and it should be fun trying to guess who will sing what.  </p>
<p><span id="more-21288"></span></p>
<p>Anyway, on to the results&#8230;..they had those 12 metal bucket stools set up, and Seacrest would be sending them there one by one as they learned their fate.  Didi Benami, in.  Siobhan Magnus, in.  I hope Siobhan does &#8220;Gimme Shelter&#8221; next week, but there are probably 100 others I haven&#8217;t thought of yet.  Next, Paige Miles and Katelyn Epperly to the front of the stage.  One was going home, one was staying.  Paige Miles, in, Katelyn, out.  Then, since I missed Tuesday&#8217;s performances, I got to see just why Katelyn was booted off.  Her version of Carole King&#8217;s &#8220;I Feel the Earth Move&#8221; as she sang her way out was just awful.  </p>
<p>On to the guys&#8230;..Seacrest brought out Tim Urban, Todrick Hall, Lee Dewyze, and Casey James to the front of the stage.  He went through them, one by one, talking about what they sang the night before and what the judges thought.  First one in, Casey.  Second one in, Tim.  Vote for the Worst contingent rejoices, but Tim was not horrible on Wednesday even if he chose a tired song.  So down to Todrick and Lee.  Lee in, Todrick out.  Well, this one I saw coming, and while I also thought Todrick was super talented, he wasn&#8217;t gonna win this thing.</p>
<p>Then they brought back two contestants from last season&#8211;Matt Giraud and Scott McIntyre, and they did a cheesy &#8220;dueling piano&#8221; version of Billy Joel&#8217;s &#8220;Tell Her About It.&#8221;  It wasn&#8217;t that bad, especially when Matt sang and played, but Scott&#8230;.geez, you can tell how bad he is when he&#8217;s trading vocal lines with Matt.  Then Seacrest, while pimping both guys, calls McIntyre &#8220;Scotty the Body.&#8221;  He calls everyone named Scott this, and it&#8217;s mildly disturbing.  </p>
<p>Next, more results.  Crystal Bowersox, in.  Michael Lynche, in.  Seacrest jokingly asks Michael if he will fit on the metal bucket stool, and Michael could care less if he breaks one right there on national TV.  Lacey Brown, in.  What???  Aaron Kelly, in.  What?????  Now I&#8217;m getting slightly annoyed.  Really, America?  Someone is going home that shouldn&#8217;t be.  </p>
<p>Left on stage&#8211;Alex Lambert, Andrew Garcia, Katie Stevens and Lilly Scott.  First up, the guys.  Alex and Andrew.  Alex had the best voice among all the guys, and Andrew was the dude who turned dance pop into cool singer/songwriter material.  Andrew, in.  Alex, going home.  He tries not to cry, but he&#8217;s clearly bummed, and so am I&#8230;I liked both of these guys, but I think Alex going home is premature.  He has a great voice but lacks the performance skills, which ultimately hurt him.  Andrew will keep bucking the ordinary and doing things his way.  Meanwhile, Seacrest asks Ellen DeGeneres if she has advice for Alex, and she says, &#8220;You&#8217;re so good!&#8221;  Thankfully no more banana references.  </p>
<p>So the final spot is down to Katie and Lilly.  Katie is the young chickadee who has a big voice for her age, and Lilly the already-established quirky singer/songwriter. Katie, in.  Lilly, out.  I really was surprised at this, and especially surprised that she was out instead of Lacey or Paige.  Lilly was also surprised, saying, &#8220;Lots of talent is going home tonight&#8221; and &#8220;I don&#8217;t know what America wants to hear.&#8221;  I&#8217;ll tell you what they want to hear, Lilly.  Pitchy cheeseball faux country music by nerdy boys like Aaron Kelly, and awful renditions of anything by Lacey Brown.  Kind of bums me out, but those two won&#8217;t last long here and neither will Paige.  </p>
<p>So your finalists America, as you chose them&#8211;Didi Benami, Siobhan Magnus, Paige Miles, Tim Urban, Lee Dewyze, Casey James, Crystal Bowersox, Michael Lynche, Lacey Brown, Aaron Kelly, Andrew Garcia and Katie Stevens.  I see this as a two-person race between Siobhan and Crystal, and maybe Michael if he keeps getting Ruben Studdard type love from the judges.  Maybe even Andrew if he gets his mojo back.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re on to the next chapter, folks&#8230;..see you next week with Mick and the Stones!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://tv.spreadit.org/pics/American-Idol-Top-10-Guys-Week-2-Top-10-Songs-Recap.jpg" target="_blank"><img decoding="async" height="353" width="477" src="https://www.premiumhollywood.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/American-Idol-0311.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Thanks to Mr. Will Harris for filling in yesterday on the &#8220;American Idol&#8221; recap, and my apologies to you that you had to watch the likes of Lacey Brown and Paige Miles perform.  You can thank the judges for letting them all through, because I still think they did a lousy job this time around, in many cases picking looks over talent.  Then again, that&#8217;s how the music business operates these days&#8230;..sign someone with looks and auto-tune them into a star.  But that&#8217;s a topic for another day, so I&#8217;ll step down off my soap box now.  </p>
<p>On to the guys last night, and after looking back in my notes&#8230;there was not one great performance.  There also wasn&#8217;t one awful performance.  All of them were mediocre, some on the side of pretty good and some on the side of not so good.  So we&#8217;ll do our best to rate them, trying to keep in mind that I totally did not agree with some of the judges&#8217; comments.</p>
<p><span id="more-21254"></span></p>
<p><strong>THE PRETTY GOOD</strong></p>
<p><strong>Alex Lambert </strong>brought out his guitar and did a pretty cool version of Ray LaMontagne&#8217;s &#8220;Trouble.&#8221;  It wasn&#8217;t like he re-invented the wheel here, but the thing is, Lambert can sing.  So it was pretty damn enjoyable listening to him.  As far as his stage fright, I think he&#8217;s getting better, and is much more comfortable up there each week.  Randy said it was a good song choice but didn&#8217;t &#8220;wow&#8221; him&#8230;.Ellen made yet another banana reference, but what she meant was that Alex is getting better (i.e. riper) every week, and she added that he looks so innocent up there&#8230;.Kara said Alex is the only person standing in the way of himself&#8230;and Simon agreed with Kara, and said that he doesn&#8217;t quite look relaxed on stage yet, but that he does have a good, distinct vocal.  I&#8217;m pretty sure Alex is safe to be a finalist.</p>
<p><strong>Andrew Garcia </strong>went back to performing dance pop and making it his own&#8230;.this time with Christina Aguilera&#8217;s &#8220;Genie in a Bottle.&#8221;  Look, it wasn&#8217;t great, and it wasn&#8217;t as good as his rendition of Paula Abdul&#8217;s &#8220;Straight Up&#8221; during Hollywood week, but I&#8217;d still pay to see this guy perform.  The song took a little while to make an impact, but eventually it did, though I could already tell the judges would hate it.  Randy said it was an interesting choice but that it didn&#8217;t quite work&#8230;.Ellen said it was a great choice and had a good ending, but that the glory note and all that came too late&#8230;.Kara said Andrew peaked early in the competition and he&#8217;s been chasing that moment ever since and isn&#8217;t quite there yet&#8230;.and Simon agreed with Kara, saying Andrew seemed a bit desperate.  Yep, I knew that&#8217;s how they would react.  That&#8217;s because they would rather pimp little Aaron Kelly to America.  But I know Andrew will get votes, and I think Andrew knows it too.  </p>
<p><strong>THE IN-BETWEEN</strong></p>
<p><strong>Lee Dewyze </strong>kicked off the night with the recent hit by Owl City, &#8220;Fireflies,&#8221; and did a cool acoustic version of it.  Still, to me this was like eating a bowl of vanilla ice cream.  It was nice, but didn&#8217;t blow me away.  I didn&#8217;t catch what Randy said but I think he agreed with me&#8230;.Ellen said Lee rocked up the song and that he is adorable&#8230;.Kara said she thinks Lee looks confident and that he made the song better than what it is&#8230;.Simon said it was not a &#8220;moment,&#8221; but that Lee keeps improving, and he also thought that Lee is better than what he showed last night.</p>
<p><strong>Tim Urban </strong>took on the very, very tired Jeff Buckley version of &#8220;Hallelujah,&#8221; but it wasn&#8217;t too bad at all.  Much better than some of Tim&#8217;s previous showings.  Randy said he loves the song and that Tim did a pretty good job with it&#8230;.Ellen ran out onto the stage to give Tim a hug, which probably frightened the producers of the show for various reasons&#8230;.Kara said she thought Tim would be going home in the first few rounds, but that now he appears to be &#8220;in it&#8221;&#8230;and Simon said it wasn&#8217;t the best version of the song and not Tim&#8217;s best, but that it was a smart choice and that people probably want him to do well.  Okay, whatever.  </p>
<p><strong>Casey James </strong>took on &#8220;No Sympathy&#8221; by Keith Urban and it also was not bad, but not awesome either.  Randy said he felt like it was a safe choice&#8230;.Ellen said she loved it&#8230;.Kara said it was better than last week but that Casey seems to be missing a &#8220;spark&#8221;&#8230;and Simon said it was Casey&#8217;s &#8220;second best&#8221; performance so far, and that he liked his Bryan Adams cover better.  Okay, this guy is probably safe.  </p>
<p><strong>Todrick Hall </strong>took on probably the most difficult song of the night, Queen&#8217;s &#8220;Somebody To Love.&#8221;  It was pitchy in the lower register, had weird tempo issues and sounded great in the upper register.  It was not a &#8220;holy crap&#8221; moment, but it was decent considering the material.  Randy said &#8220;Todrick is back!&#8221; and added that he can &#8220;really sing!&#8221;&#8230;.Ellen said Todrick was brave for doing that song and she liked the Gospel-ish influence&#8230;Kara said his vocals were good but that the theatrics were a bit too much&#8230;.and Simon said it was &#8220;good in parts.&#8221;  Well, I think Todrick could be in trouble tonight just by sheer numbers.</p>
<p><strong>Michael Lynche </strong>closed out the night with Maxwell&#8217;s &#8220;This Woman&#8217;s Work&#8221; and just like I knew the judges would knock Andrew down a few pegs, I knew they would prop Michael up.  But I didn&#8217;t totally get it.  The song wasn&#8217;t great and it was weird in spots, but Michael helped himself with a 30 second on-pitch glory note.  Randy said (in high pitch), &#8220;What???&#8221; and that it was &#8220;dope&#8221;&#8230;.Ellen said &#8220;Oh my God, that was beautiful&#8221;&#8230;Kara couldn&#8217;t really talk because she was moved to tears, which seemed so fake and ridiculous that it sort of made me angry&#8230;..and Simon said Michael &#8220;100 % nailed it&#8221; and that it was the best perfomance by anyone so far.  Um, really people?  Really???  I&#8217;m not going to pretend that I loved it because I just didn&#8217;t get it.  But it wasn&#8217;t bad at all.  That&#8217;s it, that&#8217;s all I will say.</p>
<p><strong>THE OKAY BUT LEANING TOWARD NOT GOOD</strong></p>
<p><strong>Aaron Kelly </strong>also was not awful, but to me he was the least entertaining last night.  He did Lonestar&#8217;s &#8220;I&#8217;m Already There&#8221; and it sucked in the lower register and was a bit pitchy in the upper register.  Randy said that Aaron has the makings of greatness but that he needs to work on the lower register&#8230;.Ellen said she loves Aaron but that the song was too much for him&#8230;.Kara said he gives it his all but that the lyrics were not believable because it&#8217;s a song about a guy on the road missing his kids.  Seriously, did anyone but Kara think that when Aaron was singing?&#8230;.Simon thought Kara&#8217;s comment was &#8220;complete and utter rubbish&#8221; and then went on to say that it <strong>&#8220;wasn&#8217;t a great vocal&#8221;</strong> but that it was a good song choice and blah blah blah.  In other words, Simon forgot that this is a SINGING COMPETITION.  Dude, if it&#8217;s not a great vocal, he doesn&#8217;t belong in the finals!  And I think Aaron will miss out based on the pure numbers, because two guys have to go home tonight.  </p>
<p>So there you have it.  I still can&#8217;t get over Kara&#8217;s tears following Big Mike&#8217;s performance.  Seriously, how ridiculous was that?  Since I didn&#8217;t see the ladies perform, but read Will&#8217;s blog, I&#8217;m going to take his word for it about Paige Miles, but I also think there is no way Lacey Brown advances to the finals.  So those are my two picks for the ladies.  </p>
<p>For the guys, I think America will think Todrick&#8217;s take on Queen was too weird, and will eliminate him.  I also think the other spot will come down to three guys&#8211;Aaron Kelly, who should be the one going home in my opinion; Andrew Garcia, who I think ultimately has enough fans but will take a hit because of the judges&#8217; comments; and Tim Urban, who is extremely lucky to still be hanging on but may have done just enough to hang on one more week.  </p>
<p>What do you all think?  Am I out of line busting on the judges?  It should be interesting to see how America votes though, and we&#8217;ll find out later tonight.  See you tomorrow with the recap!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img decoding="async" height="318" width="477" src="https://www.premiumhollywood.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/American-Idol-030510.jpg" alt="" /><a href="http://assets.nydailynews.com/img/2010/03/05/alg_idols.jpg" target="_blank"></a></p>
<p>One more correct, and Vegas would have been calling me this morning.  I got three right in my picks for &#8220;American Idol&#8221; contestants to go home last night, and let&#8217;s recap how we got there&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>First, the awful group number we have to endure each week.  This time it was the Black Eyed Peas&#8217; &#8220;I Got a Feeling,&#8221; and as always it was just ridiculous.  But hey, gotta stick to format, right?  </p>
<p><span id="more-20987"></span></p>
<p>Then Ryan Seacrest got right to the results, starting with the guys&#8230;.Tim Urban, safe.  Todrick Hall, you must wait a few minutes to find out your fate.  Michael Lynche, safe.  Casey James, safe.  Down to John Park and Todrick.  Todrick, you&#8217;re safe, and you can thank Ryan for making you sweat.  John Park, you may now go home to your vocal group Purple Haze, and pursue the dream of marrying Shania Twain&#8230;though she might like you less after seeing you butcher your performances the last two weeks.  And thanks to TiVo, I didn&#8217;t have to watch any of the exit performances last night.  </p>
<p>On to the front row&#8230;..Lee Dewyze Stapp, safe.  Aaron Kelly Archuleta, safe.  Alex Lambert Deer in the Headlights, safe.  Down to Andrew Garcia Gokey and Jermaine Sellers Onesie.  I had picked Jermaine, and I think so did America after watching that whole &#8220;onesie&#8221; thing unfold Tuesday night.  Andrew, safe, Jermaine, see ya.  </p>
<p>Then this week&#8217;s former Idol performance was by none other than last season&#8217;s Danny Gokey, who sang his new single, &#8220;MY Best Days Are Ahead of Me.&#8221;  Gokey&#8217;s new album on RCA Nashville just came out this past Tuesday, so he&#8217;s in full on pimp mode right now.  The song?  Eh.  But Gokey is still awesome.  </p>
<p>Back to the results, and the ladies.  My picks to go home were Lacey and Haeley, but I noticed that both were in the front row.  Uh-oh.  Lilly Scott, safe.  Paige Miles, safe.  Katie Stevens, safe.  Down to Didi Benami and Michelle Delamor.  I suddenly realized that if you asked me to name the 20 remaining contestants without looking, I probably would have forgotten about Michelle.  There you go&#8230;Didi, safe, Michelle, not safe.  Of course, you can&#8217;t possibly get votes for singing a Creed song, can you?  </p>
<p>Next row.  Katelyn Epperly, safe.  Crystal Bowersox, safe, and let&#8217;s give her props again for not only climbing from a hospital bed and onto the stage, but also for delivering the performance of the season so far.  Siobhan Magnus, safe.  So it was down to Haeley Vaughn and Lacey Brown.  Ryan asked Simon who he thought would go home, and Simon copped out, saying it was &#8220;obvious.&#8221;  Um, not it&#8217;s not, Simon, they were both awful on Wednesday.  The one going home&#8230;.Haeley!  We don&#8217;t have to watch those teeth anymore, but we do have to endure the underwhelming Lacey Brown one more week.  </p>
<p>So there you go, folks&#8230;.John, Jermaine, Haeley and Michelle&#8230;.see ya!</p>
<p>Your final 16, America: Andrew Garcia, Todrick Hall, Aaron Kelly, Casey James, Michael Lynche, Alex Lambert, Lee Dewyze, Tim Urban, Katelyn Epperly, Siobhan Magnus, Paige Miles, Lilly Scott, Crystal Bowersox, Lacey Brown, Didi Benami and Katie Stevens.  Early Vegas picks to go home next week&#8230;..Todrick, Tim, Lacey and Didi.  </p>
<p>What do you think?  Hit me up in the space below and thanks for reading!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://blogs.commercialappeal.com/tv_muse/american-idol.jpg" target="_blank"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" height="287" width="477" src="https://www.premiumhollywood.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/American-Idol-030310.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Last night on &#8220;American Idol,&#8221; the guys had to take their turn because Crystal Bowersox of the ladies&#8217; contingent had to spend the night in the hospital with an undisclosed illness.  The girls will sing tonight, and hopefully Crystal is feeling better and will be back on stage.  As for the guys, though, it was another bland night, and they proved once again that the judges did an absolutely lousy job of picking the semi-finalists this year.  A few of the guys improved from last week, and those that did looked very good based on the bar being set extremely low.  Here is our take on the performances&#8230;.</p>
<p><span id="more-20875"></span></p>
<p><strong>THE PRETTY GOOD</strong></p>
<p><strong>Michael Lynche </strong>kicked things off and instead of playing jangly white boy stuff, he took on James Browns&#8217; &#8220;This is a Man&#8217;s World.&#8221;  No doubt, Michael is the only guy who could pull this song off, but for some reason I found myself a bit bored.  I&#8217;m not sure if it was the song, which had long pauses in it, or Mike&#8217;s interpretation of it.  The judges loved it, though, and it was surely better than his Maroon 5 cover last week.  Randy gave Michael a standing ovation (really, Randy?)&#8230;Ellen liked the song choice and said Michael established himself early as the one to beat (really Ellen?)&#8230;..Kara said she did not &#8220;get&#8221; Michael until last night&#8230;and Simon said it was a huge difference this week&#8211;a good song choice, not dated, and his best performance so far.  Okay&#8230;he was good but not that good.</p>
<p><strong>Alex Lambert</strong>, for my money, has the best voice among the guys.  But he&#8217;s far from a seasoned performer, and has terrible stage fright that he just has to get over.  Last night he took on John Legend&#8217;s &#8220;Everybody Knows,&#8221; and he looked much more comfortable up there.  However, his vocal performance this week wasn&#8217;t as good as last week&#8217;s James Morrison tune.  Oh, and Alex freaked us all out by mentioning that he has made up his own language.  Yikes, that is really weird.  Anyway, Randy said it was a big improvement and not at all a &#8220;soundalike&#8221;&#8230;.Ellen made another banana reference, saying it was like Alex put the banana in a paper bag to ripen it faster, likening that to his performance.  Okay, whatever.  Ellen added that he has a great voice under that mullet.  Ha&#8230;and Ellen gets line of the night for that&#8230;.Kara said that Alex has a very recordable voice and that many are probably rooting for him&#8230;.and Simon said it was a million times better than last week, but that Alex needs to not be so nervous, and he needs to have a killer instinct to keep moving on in the competition.  Agree completely.  </p>
<p><strong>Aaron Kelly </strong>gets on my nerves and I&#8217;m not quite sure why.  But last night he did a much better job singing, with about as good a take on &#8220;My Girl&#8221; as a 16 year old boy can deliver.  Randy said the first half of the song was brilliant but the second half not as good, but that overall it was 200% better than last week.  Um, not quite, but okay&#8230;.Ellen said Aaron looked much more comfortable up there and did a lot with the song&#8230;Kara agreed with Randy and Ellen&#8230;and Simon disagreed, saying it was &#8220;all over the place&#8221; and that Aaron is going backwards.  I&#8217;m not sure I agree with that, but last week Simon praised the kid and I didn&#8217;t think he was all that.  </p>
<p>Side note&#8211;how annoying is Ryan Seacrest and that banter after the judges make their comments?  It&#8217;s starting to make me cringe.  Dude, let the judges judge and don&#8217;t harp on it!  If the show is too long, cut out 30 minutes of it!  </p>
<p><strong>Lee Dewyze </strong>closed the night, with Hinder&#8217;s &#8220;Lips of an Angel.&#8221;  The song was right in Lee&#8217;s wheelhouse, as he has the perfect voice for what passes as album rock right now.  Still, he didn&#8217;t do the best job with the song.  He was better than several others last night, but really, this guy, a star?  I don&#8217;t think so.  Randy liked it despite a few pitch problems&#8230;..Ellen said she liked Lee&#8217;s passion and intensity&#8230;.Kara said it was a big improvement from last week and that she could hear Lee on the radio (no doubt performing one of those crappy formulaic songs she writes)&#8230;and Simon said he thinks Lee has the best voice among the guys (really Simon?) but that he still looks terrified on stage.  I&#8217;m not sure about that, but at least he has Simon in his corner.  </p>
<p><strong>THE IN-BETWEEN</strong></p>
<p><strong>Casey James </strong>brought out his electric guitar this time and did Gavin DeGraw&#8217;s &#8220;I Don&#8217;t Wanna Be.&#8221;  It wasn&#8217;t horrible, but vocally it was pitchy in spots and let&#8217;s face it&#8230;.Casey doesn&#8217;t have a great voice.  But he sure can play lead guitar, something that was cool, but also made him look like less of a singer.  Randy said he loved the playing but that it wasn&#8217;t he best vocal&#8230;.Ellen said she loves the song and that Casey sounded great, but looked kind of stiff on stage&#8230;.Kara said something about how they all know &#8220;the cougar&#8217;s a fan&#8221; but she thought he took &#8220;12 steps backwards&#8221; last night.  I don&#8217;t agree with that, but I did think he was better last week&#8230;.Simon agreed with Kara, however, saying Casey looked and sounded like a &#8220;rock star wannabe&#8221; last night.  Ouch.  Still, he&#8217;ll get plenty of votes.</p>
<p><strong>Todrick Hall </strong>took on Tina Turner&#8217;s &#8220;What&#8217;s Love Got To Do With It?&#8221; and it was just okay starting out but got better in the second half when Todrick showed more emotion.  Randy said it got better as it went along but that he still didn&#8217;t love it, and wants Todrick to &#8220;just sing&#8221; instead of trying to change the song up&#8230;.Ellen said she liked how Todrick used his strength as a dancer to help him perform, but she didn&#8217;t like the song choice&#8230;Kara said it was okay but she didn&#8217;t like all the vocal runs Todrick did&#8230;&#8230;.and Simon likened it to a &#8220;theme park performance,&#8221; which is one of the worst comments a judge can make.  Todrick was okay, but that&#8217;s as far as I&#8217;ll go.</p>
<p><strong>Andrew Garcia </strong>once again picked a bad song for him, James Morrison&#8217;s &#8220;You Give Me Something,&#8221; and he chose to not play guitar this week.  Andrew didn&#8217;t do much with the arrangement, instead trying to just showcase his vocal ability, which is good, but he wowed everyone in Hollywood with a crazy acoustic version of Paula Abdul&#8217;s &#8220;Straight Up,&#8221; and has been regressing ever since.  He did hit the high notes last night, though.  Randy said it wasn&#8217;t the right vibe for Andrew and was pitchy, and that he knows Andrew can do way better&#8230;.Ellen disagreed with Randy, saying she likes Andrew&#8217;s chances&#8230;.Kara likes Andrew but said he set his own bar too high with that Paula song&#8230;and Simon said it&#8217;s not good that Andrew chose the wrong song two weeks in a row.  Yep, pretty much.</p>
<p><strong>THE NOT SO GOOD</strong></p>
<p><strong>John Park </strong>started out by telling everyone he fronts a vocal group back in Chicago called Purple Haze.  Then, looking very plain in a t-shirt and jeans, sang John Mayer&#8217;s &#8220;Gravity.&#8221;  It was as boring as the outfit he wore, and proof that John has absolutey no star charisma.  Randy said there was nothing new or spicy about it, and that it was also pitchy in spots&#8230;..Ellen said it was a better choice than last week, but that it &#8220;needed soul&#8221;&#8230;&#8230;Kara said it was way better than last week, but that John didn&#8217;t connect enough with the audience&#8230;.and Simon said that Purple Haze may soon get their lead singer back, that it was a &#8220;so what&#8221; performance, and then he used the dreaded &#8220;forgettable&#8221; word.  Ouch.</p>
<p><strong>Jermaine Sellers </strong>talked about how he wears a &#8220;onesie&#8221; at home, and then they showed him walking around in it, basically pajamas with the feet&#8230;.and Jermaine talked about being proud to &#8220;rock the onesie.&#8221;  You&#8217;re kidding, dude, right?  Anyway, Jermaine sang Marvin Gaye&#8217;s &#8220;Whats Going On?&#8221; and Marvin is one of those lofty talents who you just can&#8217;t replicate.  It started out awful, but got a bit better as it went along.  Randy said it was better than last week but that it still wasn&#8217;t great and too big of a song for Jermaine&#8230;.Ellen said she loves Jermaine&#8217;s style, including the onesie, but that this performance didn&#8217;t work for her&#8230;.Kara said the performance sounded forced&#8230;.and Simon said he was frustrated and disappointed, that Jermaine played around with the song too much, to the point that it sounded cabaret-ish.  </p>
<p><strong>Tim Urban </strong>did Matt Nathanson&#8217;s &#8220;Come On Get Higher&#8221; with his guitar, and seeing this reminded me of how talented Matt Nathanson is.  It was not nearly as good as the original, and very pitchy.  Randy said he didn&#8217;t get it, that it was too karaoke-ish and not special&#8230;.Ellen said Tim had no stage charisma nor a good voice but that he does have good looks&#8230;.Kara liked the song choice but said Tim didn&#8217;t do enough to make it his own&#8230;.and Simon said it was much better than last week and that he disagreed with the other judges, saying Tim was more &#8220;relevant&#8221; than the other guys last night.  Really, Simon?</p>
<p>So there you have it&#8230;..I&#8217;d be really surprised if it&#8217;s not John and Jermaine going home this week, but Tim is a distinct possibility as is Todrick.  But any of those guys could be eliminated and it wouldn&#8217;t bother me a bit.  The crop this year really just isn&#8217;t very good&#8230;..hopefully the ladies will bring it tonight, but I&#8217;m not holding my breath, are you?</p>

<p>Well, I said this morning that I thought Jermaine should be the first guy getting booted off &#8220;American Idol&#8221; but that nothing would surprise me.  Still, I was kind of surprised by a couple of the results tonight.  Here is how it all went down&#8230;..</p>
<p>First, the awful group number&#8230;.a jazzy, horrible song I think called &#8220;American Boy.&#8221;  Blech.  Most of the contestants looked bored, lost, or indifferent.  Yes, it was epic bad.  </p>
<p><span id="more-20628"></span></p>
<p>Then, right to the results.  Ryan Seacrest had the ladies sit in two rows on the stage.  Siobhan was first, safe&#8230;..Haeley Vaughn&#8230;safe.  No!!!!!  I was sure she&#8217;d be ticketed home, but was wrong.  Maybe next week&#8230;Michelle D&#8217;Alamor (who?), safe&#8230;.Katelyn Epperly, safe&#8230;..down to Katie Stevens and Janell Wheeler.  Ryan asked Randy Jackson which one he thought would be going home and Randy chickened out, saying it was too close to call.  Um, duh, Randy&#8230;.not in this case.  Katie was safe&#8230;.see ya Janell!  Then Janell sang that Heart song again and dare I say it sounded better than Tuesday.  </p>
<p>Alison Iraheta, one of last year&#8217;s finalists, came out and sang her new single, &#8220;Scars,&#8221; and she reminded all of the girls on stage what real pipes sound like.  Man, can that girl sing.  But what was up with that dress with wings?  I&#8217;m not the type to pay attention to fashion, but when big black wings knock me in the head, I do.  </p>
<p>Next up, front row&#8230;.Paige Miles, safe&#8230;..Lacey Brown, safe.  Nooooo!!!!&#8230;.Lilly Scott, safe&#8230;.Crystal Bowersox, safe&#8230;.so it was down to Ashley Rodriguez and Didi Benami&#8230;&#8230;Ryan asked Ellen what advice she would give them, and Ellen said something nice and gracious about this not being the end of their journey.  So then, Didi was safe, Ashley, going home.  Ryan then asked her, like a jackass, &#8220;WELL, what do you think?&#8221;  She looked mighty annoyed and replied, &#8220;WELL, I think I&#8217;m gonna sing a song.&#8221;  Ha!  That was awesome.  But I have to say, Ashley is so full of herself, and she really has nothing about her that says she can be her own artist, only a Jordin Sparks wanna-be.  So see ya!  </p>
<p>Then it was on to the guys&#8230;.Michael Lynche, safe&#8230;.John Park, safe.  Noooooo!!!!!  (are you sensing a pattern here?  The second one in the row is always a shocker)&#8230;..Aaron Kelly, safe&#8230;..Todrick Hall, safe (take that, judges)&#8230;.down to Tim Urban and Joe Munoz.  Ryan asked Kara what she thought, and she said neither of these guys deserved to be going home.  Okay&#8230;.here we go&#8230;Tim, safe..Joe, going home.  Tim looks shocked, but not as shocked as the rest of America&#8230;.still, Joe really wasn&#8217;t a star.  </p>
<p>Ryan then made the announcement about the April 21 &#8220;Idol Gives Back&#8221; episode, and then had last year&#8217;s winner, Kris Allen, talk about his recent trip to Haiti.  Then Kris performed a super cool version of The Beatles&#8217; &#8220;Let It Be,&#8221; of which you can download on iTunes with all proceeds going to relief efforts in Haiti.  But after hearing Kris sing, and after hearing Kris follow Alison, I have to say&#8230;..these two put on a freaking clinic in how to sing and perform to the dudes and girls this season&#8230;.and really, none of them are as talented as these two.  Tonight was proof of it.  </p>
<p>Back to the results&#8230;Casey James, safe&#8230;.Jermaine Sellers, safe.  Noooooo!!!!!! (I told you)&#8230;&#8230;.Lee Dewyze, safe&#8230;.Andrew Garcia, safe&#8230;.so down to Tyler Grady and Alex Lambert.  Ryan asks Simon what he thinks, and Simon says, that based purely on vocals, he thought Tyler would be the one to go home.  Drum roll&#8230;..Alex is safe, Tyler going home.  Alex is shocked, even more shocked than Tim, and I don&#8217;t blame him.  I thought for sure Simon was wrong.  Anyway, this just goes to show, this is a SINGING COMPETITION.  Of course, Tyler took a shot at the judges on his way out, saying they gave him the criticism he needed last night, instead of during Hollywood week.  Ha, nice one Grady.  </p>
<p>So there you go&#8230;..Janell, Ashley, Joe and Tyler, going home.  We still have much work to do to whittle the rest down&#8230;and a couple more three-days-of-Idol weeks to get there.</p>
<p>What do you think?  Tell me in the space below and see you all next week!</p>
