American Idol 8 Top 8 results. The judges’ save is a myth.
It’s really dumb that the American Idol results show is as long as the competition show. Once the singing gets down to an hour (plus however many minutes are devoted to Kahra’s blathering).
LOL. Rowdi just groaned when Ryan said Kellie Pickler would be here.
The year Simon was born, 1959, “Venus” was a big song, Frankie Avalon. And they start playing it, and then Frankie is out to sing it. That’s pretty stinking cool. Simon says Frankie and Ryan look like twins.
The year Idol was born was 2002, so your Top 8 will sing “Can’t Get You Out of My Head.” Wow, this is premium group suck. And I don’t think they prerecorded it this week, so it’s even worse. Srsly. I cannot describe with words the magnitude of the suck.
Crappy Ford video was actually fun.
The judges’ save can only be used for three more weeks. So far, it’s been a non-event.
Adam, Kris, Anoop all standing together.
Adam is safe, even though he was cut off on most people’s DVRs.
Anoop is in the bottom three.
Kris is safe.
This guy’s name is Flo Rida. I wonder what state he’s from. Well, I made it about a minute into the song before I fast-forwarded. He does seem like a nice guy in his little mini-interview with Ryan afterward.
Danny is safe.
Matt is safe. Wow, Alice is so far off this week! I’d ask her about it, but she’s off buying me a new wardrobe.
Scott is in the bottom three. Well, she got one right this week.
Lil’s shirt is making me dizzy.
Lil is in the bottom three.
Allison is safe.
Simon says a couple of people in the bottom three are worth saving, and one in particular, so they may be using it this week.
Kellie Pickler is singing her latest “hit” in a rather fancy hoo-hah dress. If it weren’t so hoo-hahy, I’d love it. Matching stripper shoes. And that absolutely awful singing we’ve come to expect from her. Wow, it’s pitchydawg. And she’s trying to be Carrie Underwood more than ever (epic FAIL). Ah well, Kellie. At least you’re pretty.
Lil is safe, and that was ugly the way Ryan did that.
Anoop is safe. Scott goes home unless the judges save him.
Tonight he’s singing without the guitar as the judges deliberate. Tonight was better than last night, until near the end when he got cracky. I’ll miss him. And it’s all Paula’s fault for telling him to get away from the piano.
Simon says two think he should stay and two think he should go. The judges blather for a bit, and then Ryan pushes Simon for a decision. Simon makes the decision and tells Scott it’s the end of the road.
Pauler tells Scott he’s the meaning in her life, he’s the inspiration.

he stinks–he never would have gotten so far if he wasn’t blind, and I’m still not convinced he’s not faking it–i can’t stand the way he stares off into the distance blankly
flo rida is on stern frequently — he usually brings a bunch of hoochie mamas and throws handfuls of cash at them while he sings
pickler — yikes, what a terrible singer — i guess someone has to open for taylor swift

The Pickle: “I hope all ya’ll come to my performances”
Seacrest: “You’ll be touring with Taylor Swift”
My wife: “I hope she knows when they come, they’re there to see Taylor Swift.”
Sarah, I remember back in the season when Pickle was a contestant, we suggested it was a put on. I no longer believe that. She’s really clueless, and that song was indulgent and boring. But hey, she’s cutting her hair like Carrie Underwood (Carrie had a much better dress though last Sunday).

Krodd, why weren’t you there with me on Pickler when she was on the show?!
Leland, she’s trying to do *everything* like Carrie! Even the lipstick color! I think soon she’ll have plastic surgery to better effect the resemblance.

So no apology at all by AI for screwing us out of the Adam performance last night. Poor form. All they did was rub it in with more judges yakking about a performance we missed!
That group sing was epic bad. I wanted to FF but couldn’t because we were trying so hard to articulate the level of bad. We were also watching to see if Scott would take a header off the stage since they were walking him all over the place by the edge of the stage.
Final thought - who is dressing these people? How did we end up with 3 plaid flannel shirts and 1 air filter? Seems like Anoop, Danny, and Adam refuse the stylists help. The others should join them.

I am sad that Scott is gone. But I guess it was bound to happen eventually.
And I tried to give Kellie a chance. But I couldn’t do it. I FF within two seconds. I’ve actually seen the video of that song and it’s pretty funny, but live…well you saw it.
And the group sing was sucky. But at least they weren’t lip synching. It’s getting boring for me…they’re picking crap songs.

Oh Sarah, don’t say that… cause after the plastic surgery, we’ll find out she’s pregnant with 8 kids.
I did notice on DWTS Monday that Hough was sporting a Taylor Swift type haircut.
Finally, did you catch Carrie winning the ACM award for best performer. She is still very humble, she still remembers to thank the people who got her there. And she even managed a great line in response to Matthew Mcconaughey’s joke.

A friend of mine from my church here in Nashville is actually in the Kellie Pickler/Taylor Swift video. She’s the guitarist in the background on the right. She says that both Kellie and Taylor are total sweethearts. :o)

Ok, first of all, I was able to find Adam’s rendition of “Mad World” before YouTube yanked them all down. So I finally got to see the whole thing.
Now, for that Flo Rida guy? I canNOT believe they allowed him to sing THAT song! There are little girls who watch that show. Do you realize what he was singing? Seriously, not a song for little girls and boys to be hearing.
Onward: Kelly Pickler. Ok, when she was on the show, I guess I didn’t pay too much attention to her because WHAT???? Her voice was so annoying that I couldn’t stand more than 10 seconds of it. I ffw through that screechy performance. And, I don’t like to bash on people and their looks but no, she is not pretty.
Finally, Scott leaving….eh. He was ok at the piano but as someone else mentioned, he wouldn’t have made it all the way. There are others light years better than him so it would have been pointless to use the save.
I don’t think he’s faking the blind thing. I believe they mentioned that he’s legally blind but he can see a little bit. He said something about how it’s like looking through a straw. So, I tried that. Yeesh. But I concluded that may be why he doesn’t wear sunglasses. What little site he does have would be terribly hampered with sunglasses.
The two I want gone are those two annoying boys, I don’t even remember their names that’s how bad I don’t like them.
Ok, you mentioned Kris stood up with the first group so Kris is one that I can’t stand. Ugh. Get him off of there!
The other one is….(scrolling up)…Matt. Don’t like him either. Buh BYE.
Now, Anoop? Ok, he won’t win and he’s not the best singer but you know? I kind of like him. He doesn’t annoy me like the other two I mentioned.
Still, as mentioned earlier, my faves are Allison and Adam.

Of course, that comment I just made would have made a lot more sense if the comment I wrote last night actually showed up. I see it’s not there.
Pretend it is.

Serenity: you can see all the old performances on AI’s official website.
My kids were watching previous performances the other day. We rewatched some of Adams, and I have to say: Ring of Fire, in context with the rest of his stuf, makes more sense.
Scott was the right person to go home.

That is all.
