I'm letting my Tivo run for a while. Last week I caught up to real time and had to watch commercials! That WILL NOT happen again. I'll start blogging at about 8:30 Eastern if you want to check back.

-----

I'm back! It's time to start my Tivo because this is Wednesday night and it's time for someone to say so long!

Ryan tells us that they got 38 million votes last night. Ryan kissed Simon on the head! (Get your mind out of the gutter! They wouldn't show THAT on national TV.) Why they hell did he do that?

The group sing is kinda boring but better than last week. The only reason I say that is because I remember my nose being all crinkled up at the end of the group sing last week like I had just smelled something bad. This week I was just yawning.

The Idol tour dates have been set. Unless they team up with So You Think You Can Dance, I'm not going.

Recap from last night - Fast Forward

Ryan is interviewing ALW. This is boring. Fast Forward. Wait! I have to go back. I think they're talking about Brooke's goof. Yep! ALW makes fun of Paula and says that Brooke was flawless during rehearsals. Too bad we didn't see that. ALW is pretty entertaining. Song title for Simon and Paula: "How can I miss you if you won't go away"

The Ford commercial was pretty entertaining tonight. I especially loved the way they had Jason dressed up. He REALLY looked like John Travolta in Battlefield Earth! Note to self: watch that again. It's been too many cycles since the last viewing.

BTW - Fantasia is going to be the Grand Marshall for this year's Apple Blossom Festival! I can't believe they got someone from this decade. Last year it was Wayne Newton. If any of you live near Winchester and want to come out for the festival, let me know. I have some seats for the parades still available. It's not this weekend but next weekend. Here's their website.

Bush - fast forward

Round one eliminations: (Bottom two only)
The Davids, at the same time - How long is Ryan going to talk to them?!?! Damn! - safe
They flashed on the audience and had the caption: David's Family and Friends. Which David you dorks?!?

More filler - Fast Forward

Leona Lewis - Fast Forward - She sucks BTW. Wow! She got real flames!

Round two eliminations:
Brooke and Syesha - Brooke is safe and Syesha is in the bottom two

At this point, the filler is so huge that I no longer care why Brooke did what she did. I just want them to shut up.

Round three eliminations:
Carly and Jason - My guess is that Jason is in the bottom two. I'm wrong! It's Carly joining Syesha on the stools of death!

Carly and Syesha both get to sing. I like Carly better than Syesha but not by much. Carly sounded better tonight. Syesha sounds bad tonight. She was better last night.

Carly is going home!!!! WHAT?!?!?! How the hell did that happen? I don't know what to think.

What do you think about it?

Damn! I didn't get any points this week!!

Looking forward to Neil Diamond!

I'm getting a late start tonight. I had to work a little late and then I lost track of time. Tonight is Andrew Lloyd Webber night on Idol. I thought Mariah Carey week was going to be bad but this might just blow that boring night out of the water.

Ryan says this is their toughest test yet and I think that's an understatement. I can't imagine it was easy picking a song. Agent Mulder is in the house! The band is down on the stage so the contestants get about a 5 foot square to work with. Okay, it's a little bigger than that but not much.

Excuse me, it's LORD Andrew Lloyd Webber night. After the intro video package, I may be taking back what I said earlier about this being a boring/bad night. Andrew is pretty serious in helping the kids out. This may just be a good night.

I guess since there's only 6 kids, that means more filler. Ryan is talking to the judges. Paula seems a little slower than usual.

Syesha (5701 and 5707) is going home tomorrow. I may change my mind about this but I don't think so. Singing: “One Rock & Roll Too Many” from Starlight. "I can't hear nothing. What do you say?" Well, the twins are looking good in red tonight. Her hair is tame and so is her performance in the beginning. I thought she struggled during the first half and by the second half, I had heard the same words so many times that I no longer cared what she sounded like. Randy thinks she could be a huge Broadway star. Paula is pumped full of drugs and tells Syesha that she brought the house down in the very beginning. Huh? Simon agrees with Randy and calls it strong. Since she went first and her name is Syesha, she will AT LEAST be in the bottom three if not going home.

Jason (5702 and 5708) gets some chair time. He is so goofy! I love him! I refuse to call him a stoner since that was my maiden name. Singing: “Memory” from Cats. KILL THE MOSH PIT! KILL THE MOSH PIT! KILL THE MOSH PIT! KILL THE MOSH PIT! KILL THE MOSH PIT! KILL THE MOSH PIT! I wasn't blown away and I thought is was a little boring. Randy called it a train wreck. Paula thought it was a wise choice and calls it a pop ballad? Simon said it wasn't Jason's style among other bad things. I don't care. I'm voting for him anyway!

Brooke (5703 or 5709) is singing a Madonna song. Singing: “You Must Love Me” from the film adaption of Evita. OMG!! I can't believe what just happened!! That is the first time in the years that I've been watching American Idol that a contestant messed up and STARTED OVER! If that doesn't put her in the bottom three, I don't know what will. Well, she started up again but I'm not interested in listening any more. She isn't doing good and may be going home. I'm considering her song choice and wondering if it was just a little bit prophetic do to the desperation factor. Randy calls it a little tough. Paula is speechless at first then says "you must never start then stop" and then babbles some more. Simon says it became uncomfortable. You ain't kidding!

David A. (5704 or 5710) gets some chair time too. Wait! Not chair time...hug time. That was odd. Andrew gives him two pieces of advice: 1) Open your eyes and 2) Open your eyes. Darn! I was hoping that one of them would be to start licking his lips again. Singing: “Think of Me” from Phantom of the Opera. First of all, I've never seen the Phantom of the Opera or heard all of the songs (this being one of the ones I missed) but, from what I do know about it, I'm 99.9% certain that it's not a happy play. Judging by the lyrics of this song, I don't think it was meant to be sung as an Up With People number. David performed it relatively happy which seemed wrong to me. Then again, I could be wrong. Never the less, I don't care for him anyway. Randy says he's the one to beat. Paula calls it perfect. Simon called it one of his weakest and forgettable. I'm trying, Simon, I'm trying!

Carly (5705 or 5711) is singing “Jesus Christ Superstar”. I think she rocked it. Much better song choice than her original pick. Thank you, Andrew. She was also wearing sleeves which was nice! Randy says it was good and he liked the outfit. Paula loved it. Simon calls it one of his favorites of the night. Carly then pulls out a tee shirt from some where (I was typing) that says Simon Love Me (this week).

David C. (5706 or 5712) gets the pimp spot. Singing: “Music of the Night” from Phantom of the Opera. That was different and not in a good way. Where did my rocker go? I want him back. This was boring and I never...I just flashed on him singing the new crappy coronation song! That's going to be bad!! I didn't like it at all. I guess I won't be buying any new songs this week. Randy calls it an amazing hot molten lava bomb tonight. Paula calls him well rounded. Simon thought he made the most of...something that I'll never know. My Tivo kicked over to Reaper which is above Hell's Kitchen on my season pass list. I don't care. I'm still voting for him anyway.

Since we're down to 6, I'm not sure if we'll have a bottom three. It might be just a bottom two. Here are my picks for both. If there's a bottom three I believe it will be Syesha, Brooke and Jason. I think Carly did well enough tonight to escape the bottom three. I also don't think we'll see either David in the bottom grouping until the final three. If it's a bottom two, it will be Syesha and Brooke. One more time, I'm betting my points on Syesha to leave. I think that since she was first and Brooke is now getting the VFTW votes, her time is up...I hope. It would be nice to have her gone.

Who is your pick to go home?

PS - For those of you waiting for the Your Mama Don't Dance review, I'm sorry but I'm running behind. My husband was home an extra day this weekend and I've been working late every day this week so far. I'm hoping that tomorrow will be different. Stay tuned!
