  • American Idol Season 8 – Shocking Result?

    Last night’s show was full of praise from the judges even though I wasn’t as into the performances as they were. There were only a few people who they actually criticized so it will be interesting to see how that affects the voting tonight.

    Ryno says that in his hands are results that may shock us.

    Last week I missed the song montage, and I think my gimmick this year might be that I pretend that I miss all of the montages because it’s usually the worst thing on the show. Well, if you don’t count the cheesy commercials that they do.

    They show a nice video package of what happens when the Idol members get kicked off the show.

    Michael says that his daughter asked him why he didn’t want to be with her anymore. He tells his daughter that he loves her while his eyes tear up. He should’ve used that trick last night.

    Danny is very much safe. Lil Rounds tells him that he knew. And when Ryno told her that she was safe, she screamed with sheer delight. Anoop is also safe. What one good week can do for someone.

    Ryno pits Allison and Michael together. They are both in the bottom three. Allison is very surprised as she should be.

    Brad Paisley is singing live. Yay!

    Ryno tells Scott that he’s safe and he’s one of the top 10, which means he gets to be on the American Idol tour. Megan and Matt are also safe.

    Kris is also safe so it’s between Adam and Alexis. Simon says Adam’s performance was even worse on TV than it was live. Alexis is in the bottom three.

    Here’s Adam’s creepy performance from last night.

    Allison is safe. So where’s the shocking result? If I had to choose a bottom two based on last night, this is exactly the bottom two that I would’ve chosen.

    Carrie Underwood’s hair is performing with Randy Travis.

    Simon says the judges would consider saving one of the two if they were eliminated, but doesn’t say which one.

    Michael is safe and Alexis is with us no more. Simon says Alexis was the one they were thinking about saving. I guess that says a lot about what they think of Michael. He says her performance will have a lot with their decision.

    I’ll spoil it for you. They’re not saving her. It’s way too early in the show. Just wait until we get a few more weeks into the show and one of their favorites gets eliminated.

    And she completely over sung the song too. They’re not going to save her.

    Goodbye Alexis.

  • American Idol Season 8 – Double Elimination Night

    After an evening of hit or miss Michael Jackson karaoke, it’s time to kick someone off!

    My DVR screwed up and I missed the MJ montage to start the show.

    Ryno says the contestants were done by midnight and working at 7AM the next day as if it was against labor laws or something to work that much. They’ve obviously never worked in the Internet industry.

    Ryno tells Michael Sarver that he’s safe. Well, he wasn’t memorable, but I guess he didn’t need to be. Allison Iraheta is also safe even though she made Give In To Me hard to sit through. Jasmine Murray isn’t safe though. She’s in the bottom three.

    Matt Giraud walks down toward Ryno as if he already knows he’s in the top three, but Ryno makes him sit back down. He’s safe. Kris Allen and Megan Joy Corkrey both stand up together, and for some reason, Megan is in the bottom three. She picked the wrong song completely, but she’s too cute to go home so quickly. Between Megan and Jasmine, Jasmine is the one sent home. That’s probably the right call. I think Jasmine was going to be on the bottom end vocally for most of the shows. Ryno asked Randall if the judges were going to save her and Randall said no. She’s going home. Save her? That’s new.

    Kanye West is performing Heartless straight up with the vocal effects. And he cut the Theo Huxtable haircut. This dude is wearing tight jeans off his ass with a jean jacket and some black gloves. I guess when you’re it, you’re it. What’s funny is that he’s on a singing show and he’s actually a terrible singer.

    Back to the elimination, Ryno tells Scott that he’s safe. I guess he kept the faith. Naughty Alexis is also safe. Danny Gokey is also safe. Jorge and Anoop must be shaking in their boots right now. Anoop is in the bottom two. Even though he screamed through Black Or White, Adam is safe. Lil Rounds is safe as well, but Jorge joins Anoop Dogg. Anoop is a tall dude. Carrie Underwood is going to send one of those dudes Home Sweet Home.

    Kelly Clarkson sings My Life Would Suck Without You. That’s the song that Kara Dioguardi was humming to herself thinking about me during the show last night. How ironic?

    Anoop is safe and Jorge is going home unless the judges save him.

    The judges aren’t saving Jorge and he’s going home.

    Each judge (I think) can save one person for the year, but Ryno didn’t say what would happen if they saved one.
