American Idol voters are stupid.
American Idol S7 top eight elimination
I haven’t watched Idol Gives Back yet (I’ve therefore put off adopting a precious black child for one more day), but I want to see who goes home. So I predicted Brooke to go home with Brooke, Syesha, and Carly in the bottom three. I’m not sure about my go home pick.
Idol Gave Back last night. LOL, Randy played bass when Mariah sang last night. Go figure. Hey, that’s that Guitar Hero song! Barracuda. What?? Was HEART on the show last night? I can’t believe I haven’t watched it yet. Funny, they were pimping all the stars who would be on the show, and I kept hoping they’d say Carrie, and they never did. Turns out she sang. Dude, was that Teri Hatcher singing “Before He Cheats” with Chase from House M.D. playing the violin? Looks like I missed so much fun last night. Maybe I’ll have time to watch it this weekend. I have a couple years’ worth of taxes to do.
The top eight are singing “Shout to the Lord.” Elle told me they sang it last night, too, but they changed “my Jesus my Savior” to “my Shepherd my Savior” or something like that. Anyway, tonight they sang “my Jesus my Savior.” I gotta tell ya, it warms my heart a little that no one is fake-singing this Jesus song. Carly’s totally kicking pinkytoe on this. This is one of their best group songs yet.

Lip synching medley with a bunch of random Hollywood stars. Hey, there’s Emily Procter! And someone who looks like Venomous Kate.
Brooke is the first one out. The iPhone girls can’t stop cheering. Sister’s getting married Saturday, so she was all emotional since she will probably miss it. She’s safe. Wow, I didn’t see that one coming. I figured at least bottom three. If this is one of those fake-outs where no one’s going home again, I’ll be right annoyed. Because see, Scrubs and The Office and 30 Rock are on tonight.
Ryan asks David Cook what he thinks about what Simon said. He’s called me pompous, smug, arrogant before. Ryan says he thinks the same thing about Simon. Simon boos heartily along with the crowd. David Cook is safe.
David Archuleta is safe. Stoopid tweenage girls.
Please give to the little children. Please, for the love of Thor. Doooo it.
Oh no. A film from Africa. Make it stop before I adopt them all and bake them all pies! Oh no. Here I go. Sweeetie, I want one of the little children. Just look at them! I could fatten them up. Oh look at that little face. I can’t take it. See, this is why I haven’t watched last night’s show yet. Too much for me. Darn you, Forrest Whitaker.
Fast forwarding through Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown, because who cares? Show me more squishy cheeked children!
They have a little something for Jordin. I’m guessing there are records involved. More than a million downloads of a single, gold record of her CD, a million downloads of another song. Results, please.
I’m so glad House is returning. ‘Bout time.

Ford commercial is “I Just Want to Celebrate.” It’s coo’. Ish.
Jason… wow, he just bought the ukelele a week ago. He’s safe! Yay!
Kristy… I’m guessing she’s safe, because there are only three people left backstage. She is safe, so Michael, Syesha, and Carly are the bottom three.
WOW. I can’t believe Michael is in the bottom three. Out of those three, I want Syesha to go, and I think she will.

Bono is on now to talk about one.org. I actually like him, and I think he’s sincere. I’ve heard him say several times that he’s a fan of America, and I like that.
Hillary, then McCain, then Obama have little blurbs for Idol Gives Back. McCain has a groan-worthy joke about Michigan and Florida.
Randy thinks the bottom three is pretty surprising. Pauler says America got it partly right. Simon has decided that he and America are now soul mates.
Holy crap. Syesha and Carly are safe. GASP. So Ryan says, “Michael has the lowest number of votes. Last year during Idol Gives Back, we didn’t send anyone home.” Gives Michael hope, you see. SARAHK: But this year, we’re going to send you home. RYAN: Tonight… we say goodbye to Michael Johns.
That’s just ugly. They’re just being jerks now. Want to keep him, fine. Want to send him home, fine. But give the guy false hope during this big hopeful week? You suck, American Idol.
This is what I get for watching reality TV.
More American Idol.

Between the American Idol contestants singing Shout to the Lord and the idiot American Idol voters sending Michael home, my brain has officially exploded. WHY!!!??? We must rid ourselves of Sleepy Lee ASAP.
April 11th, 2008 at 10:34 am
It was totally teh suck to bring up last year’s not sending home and then crushing him! Booooooo!!! Not to mention how sad my poor husband is after watching his man-crush go home!
April 11th, 2008 at 11:04 am
I can’t believe they sent Michael home…and that “false hope” that Ryan pulled at the end was just plain mean.
David Archuwhatever is boring the crap out of me…that kid needs to lighten up. He’s the perfect example of somebody with exceptional talent that you never want to hear sing another note.

I was surprised, I thought Syesha was cooked. BTW, if you still have it, the Jordin/Chris Brown duet was actually excellent. The song is sort of odd, in that it’s written so the singers sound like they’re a half-beat off time - I thought it was a mistake until they did it every single verse - but they really sang well. This was as good as I’ve ever seen Jordin, actually.

Sleepy Lee is the counterpart to Jason, at least as our hostess and her friend now perceive him.
I was startled and disappointed that both David Cook and Brooke were safe.
April 12th, 2008 at 2:08 pm
It wasn’t me, I swear! I was at home with a cold.
So, was Simon checking out my look-alike?
April 12th, 2008 at 5:15 pm
Just plain dumb luck put Kristy in the top ten. I never, ever thought she would outlast Michael Johns. I love David Castro, but never thought even he would outlast Michael Johns. Dang.
Flip side: Kristy did a really nice job with that Martina McBride song. That is one of the pleasures of this show - watching people grow as the contest continues. That’s why I wanted Chakezie to stay.
Prediction: That stunt was such a cold-hearted trick to pull at the end of Idol Gives Back week - that we’ll find out it was just a twist to not sending anyone home last year. Michael Johns will be back on stage next week. A girl can hope…………….
April 12th, 2008 at 5:16 pm
…Jason Castro (I REALLY DO love him).
April 13th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
I can’t believe that Castro, with his lame Kermit the Frog act is still around. That Kristy Lee really pulled it out though–she looked like a real star for the first time ever–time for her to crash to earth. That David Archiletta is teh suck. I laughed my rear end off when Ryan gave David the stiff arm, but i’m a mean person.
April 14th, 2008 at 2:22 pm
Cadet, you shut up about Jason! Agreed on David, though. He has such a great voice, but blerg on every song choice. I’m so over him. Kristy may have dressed like a star, but she was off key the entire song.
Gail, I fear Kristy will make it even farther because of all the guys who vote on looks only. Plus, she’s the VFTW contestant. And yeah, I wish they’d bring Michael back. Alas, I don’t think they will. They prefer to stand by their douchebagness.
VK, unfortunately, your lookalike was in the celebrity lip synch / dance montage, so she only made a brief appearance.
Tha Fly, I already deleted it. But I’m sure I can live without seeing it. :)

Teenagers must rule America. I’m from Iceland and I’m not sure about that, but when someone like Archuwhat and Kristy “empty headed” Cook stays while they send Michael home… there’s no choice but think that the teenagers and their hormones rules America.
The only real musicians there are (was) Michael and David Cook (Cook is my favorite). Jason is a cute nice hippie guy and that’s all on my book.
I’m afraid but very sure that the little Archie will win this competition. The boy seems a 45 yrs old dwarf with no sense of humor. Where’s is that american sense of humor that the rest of the world used to love so much? I just hope that when all the 13 yrs old that votes for him got older, they will feel very ashamed.
America gave us Tim Buckley, Love, The Doors, Frank Zappa, Jimi Hendrix, Elvis, Grace Slick and now… Archuleta. That’s amazing.
I’m sorry for my bad english, it isn’t my first language and as you can see, not even second.

WHY CARLY? WHY!?!? Has this just become a popularity contest? Why are all the genuinely talented ones going home? What happened to Michael Johns infuriated me. Kristy Lee, not so much. She did have that twangy country voice that I’m not a fan of - and she’s from OREGON. How do you have a twang if you’re from Oregon?
But seeing Carly leave is just too much. She’s an awesome singer, she has great stage presence, and she has creative picks for songs. WHY are Jason Castro and Brooke White still on this show!? Don’t get me wrong, I am a fan of Jason; I actually like his Kermitness. But he’s not even in the same league as Carly, and neither is Brooke. Their voices just aren’t strong enough to be in this competition. They’re unique, but they’re not THAT good. How would either of them possibly survive in the music business?
I miss Carly. American Idol voters ARE stupid.
