Top 6 become 4: American Idol results on TiVo
Last week they played nice for charity. Now two go home. oh LOL -- someone's holding up a sign that says "Blake Your #1"! hee hee
We give the finalists a round of applause, and Jordin and Lakisha are dressed like a Penney's window. Why do they match? Ryan wryly promises "no filler". LOL -- has he been reading my blog?
Ryan and the judges dissect why/how last night worked. And they say a lot of dumb stuff about rocking. And then Ryan and Simon engage in weird, inappropriate comments. No filler? Whoa! Simon compliments Blake.
No filler? Recap of last night. Do they not get that everyone watching the results show already watched last night's show?!
Anyone besides me notice that the recap is edited from different footage than was aired live? Trust me: it is.
Then we go to the Farmer's Market to hear what the public says. It includes Ryan singing Livin on a Prayer with a 3-year old :) And then showcase Blake a bit and ask how he comes up with these arrangements. Is that fair to the others? Oh -- it's no filler and now he asks Jordin about her night. She's too cute for words. She says everybody has a bad week, and she figured last night was hers, which made it easier to go out there and sing last night.
Ryan: "Lakisha, what kind of a kisser is Simon?"
Kiki: "Pretty good. I'd do it again."
oh dear. And now Ruben Studdard encourages us to call the Idol gives back number. Only problem? He looks like a non-polyester used car salesman.
Back from commercial, ask Melinda how it felt to participate in the charity show. She says something appropriate about giving back. And then (keeping in mind there's no filler) we get a recap of last week's 2-hour show. It's like the Olympics recap -- slow-mo hugging and all.
Please welcome Robin Thicke (?) oh dear. Why am I watching this live? Switching to TiVo as he sings in Michael Jackson's highest voice about touching himself (complete with sign language). It's like watching a train wreck. You can't look away. He's all about the hip thrusts, and lewd hand motions to the sound guy to turn up his in-ear monitors. Ick. Seriously. Ick.
Oh dear. The Ford video is a poor man's Moulin Rouge scene. The song? Paint it Black. Wow, that was bad. Is it just me, or is Ryan all squinty and over-tanned? (keeping in mind that TiVo tends to oversaturate color and orange-ify people)
hmmmm ... Melinda, Phil and Lakisha to the stage. Melinda is safe (and wearing a cute top, too). Oh, what if Phil and Lakisha are the bottom two? I don't think so. It's still too early in the night. Kiki is safe. Cut to Paula, who looks teary. And Phil is going home. Honestly, I'm bummed now. I'm not really a Phil fan, but he should have gotten one more week. I'd have sent Lakisha and Chris home this week. Now we have a Phil montage, with "Stand by You" in the background. Is that a Carrie Underwood version? Why do they have them sing when they get kicked off? I never quite get that. I suppose they're hoping for a soap moment with tears or better yet, a swear word-infused diatribe. How ironic. He just sang the lyric "I'm going down in a blaze of glory." This isn't the first time the lyric has been that apropros. Phil sings while walking through the audience, filled with sailors and his cute wife. This is probably the best sing-off yet this season. As Ryan talks us off to commercial, Phil does the Sammy Sosa/Mark McGwire chest-fist pound. Great farewell performance, Phil. My hat's off to you.
Did I just see a commercial for Diet Coke w/ vitamins and minerals?! LOL Through the magic of TiVo ... yes, I did! hee hee! Yeah, 'cause that's why people drink Diet Coke. For the vitamins.
Ok -- now for the back row. How awesome! He immediately says, "Jordin, I messed with you so much last week, sit down. You are safe. I'm not going there this week. I'm not doing it!" It's Blake or Chris and another commercial. Um ... didn't we JUST have about 5 of them? (no; I'm not rewinding to count)
Help me out here. Ryan introduced Bon Jovi as the guys from New Jersey who made "true rockers" out of the competitors. And then they get up and sing a totally snooze-worthy ballad with a bass line from the 80s. How is this rocking? How does this showcase them? Let me guess: it's from a new album. I don't care enough to research it, but I'm sure I'm right. *yawn*
A plug for Idol Aid from that Taylor Hicks guy (that's his name, right?) who evidently grew up in Connecticut where they teach you to talk with lockjaw. Odd with a southern accent, though.
Back from commercial, Blake and Chris, who are BFFs, are goofing off on stage, and Chris actually says he'd go home for Blake. Whoa! In response to Ryan's question about switching the results, they both said "it doesn't matter." Chris is going home. Cut to crying audience members and a slow-moving standing O. Aw ... he's cute. He seems genuine to say that he appreciates being there as long as he has. Sounds like it's going to be another good farewell performance. Interesting. He's back in his Justin voice. That Bon Jovi voice barely lasted 24 hours. (you know Jordin is my favorite, but she just saw herself on the monitor, and had a hard time disguising how relieved she feels about still being on the show). I just realized there's just one boy left.
X the filler, this was a decent show.
I'm ok with these results, for the most part. We'll see what happens next week. And Chris catches the last boom shot and finger-pistols the camera as TiVo ends.
