    On Wednesday night’s final performance show, Candice whipped Kree like she stole something.

    Much like I wrote Wednesday night on the American Idol finale 2013, there have been some terrible voting decisions by America. There’s no way Lee DeWyze should’ve beat Crystal Bowersox. And in the worst one of all, there’s no way Kris Allen could hold Adam Lambert’s jockstrap in a suitcase.

    Thus, it’s plausible that Kree (who I’ve nicknamed Kreeyore for her sourpuss performance face) can win this show. Of course, if she did, it would mean America was deaf.

    It’s time to go blog this time capsule style:

    0:11 – After the final 12 did the customary group performance opener, The Band Perry started performing Done and you know who showed up to help out. If you said Bucky Covington, you’d be wrong. It was Janelle!

    0:17 – Shots fired! After a slightly funny package about all the guys leaving early which ended up with Jordin Sparks pretending to mastermind it, she tells them that their future will be okay because Idol leftovers have been doing really well on The Voice. Zing!

    0:20 – The top 5 boys perform a medley and Frankie Valli comes out to sing Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You. Lauryn Hill must’ve been busy paying taxes tonight.

    0:29 – Our girl Mariah performed a quick medley. It’s kind of what I’ve been waiting for all season long.

    0:38 – American Idol loved them some Emeli Sandé this season. She and Amber Holcomb did a duet on stage. For some reason, Amber was wearing some camo stretch pants with gold heels.

    0:53 – I’ve determined that Keith Urban is much more entertaining while bobbing his head and singing along to other’s performances than he is performing himself.

    0:57 – Candice performed a Natalie Cole song with Jennifer Hudson and it was pretty cool to see them try to out-diva each other. Candice’s confidence is inspiring to see.

    1:05 – Angie Miller and the great Adam Lambert performed Titanium. Lambert doesn’t get enough props for how big he got after Idol. He’s the forgotten Idol superstar. Jessie J, who is Angie’s idol, showed up and performed with Angie. Mariah threw out a look that said that she wasn’t quite into Jessie.

    1:10 – After watching Angie have a blast on stage and be so charismatic, Kree must be wondering how the heck she made it to the final two.

    1:21 – Not Keith Urban shredding, Randy Jackson on bass, or Travis Barker on drums could save Kree and her performance of Where The Blacktop Ends. Kree is usually at a 3 and she ramped it up to a 5, but she needed to be a 10 on finale night.

    1:32 – Aretha Franklin performed from New York while the top five girls sang backup. I think Aretha should’ve been on the diva showdown with J-Hud and Candice.

    1:49 – Jennifer Lopez is a beautiful woman. Terrible singer, but beautiful woman. Pitbull is a terrible rapper. Terrible rapper, but terrible rapper.

    2:01 – And the winner is…Kreeyore! Okay, just kidding. America wasn’t that dumb this year.

    Candice Glover!

    One last Nicki gif for the season – will she be back?

    Tonight’s American Idol featured quite a surprise. I predicted that Kree would go home after Wednesday’s performances. And let’s just say that didn’t happen.

    But the real news was that Randy Jackson was leaving his judge’s chair after 12 seasons.

    This has been a very weird season. All along, it seemed like the judges would only be around for the year, and with Jackson gone, it seems like the rest of the judges will also leave the sinking ship. Can’t we sign these judges to two year deals?

    Who rocked the stage?

    Lauren Alaina surprisingly took the stage with the first single from her second album, called Barefoot And Buckwild. Alaina looked good, dropping some weight in the proces while still showing that young fire that she had a few years ago while battling Scotty McCreary.

    Alicia Keys showed up with short hair while performing Tears Always Win. Swizz Beatz must’ve been proud.

    While Mariah Cary didn’t necessarily perform live, she did show off her new music video for #Beautiful with Miguel. I’m not sure what the hash tag is for. The song is very Miguel, but the video is very Mariah. She was trying to shake what her mama gave her throughout.

    Who is going to the final two?

    It was a very interesting final two to say the least.

    If you started watching from the beginning, there were two contestants who stood above the others. Those two were Candice and Kree (Summer). But when the smoke cleared, Angie had surpassed Kree (Summer) and Kree looked like she had lost her smile. So when the vote came down Thursday night, of course it was Angie who was eliminated in a surprise of all surprises. I had Angie pegged for winning.

    As it turns out, what we expected from the beginning has come true. It’s Kree (Summer) vs. Candice. And Nicki says to work it.

    There wasn’t going to be any shenanigans this time.

    Last week, Ryno didn’t eliminate anyone. This week, someone would not only be eliminated, but the votes from the last two weeks would decide who went home. Thus, since Candice and Amber were in the bottom two at the end of last week’s show, they were already in a hole.

    After Wednesday night’s show, here’s how I ranked the remaining contestants:

    1. Candice
    2. Angie
    3. Amber
    4. Kree (Summer)

    But because Amber was already in the bottom two last week, I predicted that she would go home. I think Kree has one more week. Let’s see if I was right.

    But first…

    Who rocked the stage?

    Season 7 winner, David Cook performed his new single Laying Me Low. His performance was a bit uninspired, but it was good to see him.

    Will.I.Am. performed a song from The Great Gatsby soundrack, Bang Bang. I’m not quite sure what to think because it’s cheesy, but it’s also much better than his general fare. Take a look for yourself.

    Who were in the bottom two?

    Ryno first let us know who made it to next week. The selling point for next week is that they get to go home and get celebrated.

    The first person to make it through was Angie. I think it’s really her show to lose.

    The second person to make it through is the best singer of them all, Candice.

    That left Amber and Kree in the bottom two, which is how you would’ve predicted it.

    Who went home?

    As predicted, it was Amber who went home. In one of the more touching send-offs, Amber sang I Believe In You And Me and broke down at the end with her father right next to her. Definitely a tear-jerking moment.

    If Candice is sent home next week, we will have an interesting discussion. And maybe rage. Or Nicki may just combust.
