This group song... sounds like a song actually made for a group. It really wasn't that bad! However, the choreographed chest bump between the guys was absolutely ridiculous. What is this, a middle school football game? At the end were two moments of hilarity: First, Carly loses her balance and nearly crushes Chikezie and then Michael, in an attempt to be silly, wraps his arms around Brooke's leg and startles the innocent nanny.
Hold the phone. Three minute songs on iTunes? NONE of the songs I've bought so far have even tickled the underside of the three minute line.
Chikezie is the first one out and first to the Bottom Three. I knew it, he knew it, but that still doesn't make it any better. And can someone tell me why Fox thought it was a good idea to recycle the "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" music?
Brooke is safe, of course. Wow. We. Are. All. So. Shocked.
Now another Weird Moment with Carly Smithson, brought to you by the ever-flapping motuh of Ryan Seacrest. Apparently the rumor was she was pregnant (she's not), but she was rather preoccupied with her new Spanx. TMI, Carly dear, TMI. This has been another Weird Moment with Carly Smithson. (She's safe, by the way).
I settle back, waiting for another dopey commercial that can never compare to the Season 5 80's commercial, but honestly this one didn't stink. The singing pictures (on shirts, cds, posters, and more!) were pretty neat and the song didn't reek either.
David A is safe as well. Another shocker.
David C, in an attempt to combat the smug rumors, looks jittery and nervous, though he HAS to know he's safe (and he is).
Wow. Syesha's in the Bottom Three. Guess that Paula-inspired subliminal mind message thing (sYESha) didn't work. Hmm. Or maybe America trusts Simon way more than Ryan would ever care to consider.
Michael is safe. Ryan hasn't said it yet, but I know he is, not only because of his performance but also because he's not one of the last two out. Nigel must brainstorm on a way to fix this lack of suspense. Hmmm, Gina and Constantine are in the audience. Together. How many rumors will have started by tomorrow?
And there's Danny (don't miss him) and David H (do miss him) sitting behind the judges. Hey boys!
As good an idea as this question segment was at first, this has been rather corny. The ONLY slightly funny part was when the girl asked Simon if he thought he was the most attractive person in the show. Ask a stupid question... His answer, "It's not what I say but what others say" was priceless.
I didn't join the AI bandwagon until the Carrie-Bo showdown, so I missed Kimberley Locke's debut. She, I must say, looks a million times better than the audition picture they showed, but the Oscar-inspired dress she picked hardly shows it. It wasn't flattering, especially the way her upper torso sloshed over and to the side. I noticed that only for a moment, because I spent the rest of the time, mouth open, wondering, "How on earth did this girl lose to Ruben Studdard? Lose to ANYONE for that matter?"
As much as I wished for Jason to come out next, it was snoozey Ramiele. I am so ready for this girl to go home. If I want to sleep, I'll go to bed. I watch AI to be entertained. But she's safe.
Jason and KL are last out. I know Jason will be picked. It'll be that quaint little shocker they love to give us and KL sealed it with her "clever" choice of song. But what is in that girl's hand? Tissues? Well, she won't need them because she's safe. Bah.
On and on Jason talks about how he knew it, how he picked his own Bottom 3 status before the show started and again backstage. He's so nervous, he's so worked up, he's-- safe. Haha.
Now the big question: Chikezie Eze or Syesha Mercado? Chikezie is undoubtedly the better singer and performer in my book, but was absolutely mind-numbing last night. Syesha, on the other hand, has little fanbase to speak of, but did very well last night.
This is so wrong.

At this point, it really doesn't matter who stays and who goes. The top 10 gets to go on the tour, which means more exposure and experience for all of them. If you look at the top 10 most successful Idols to date, only two of them (Kelly and Carrie) actually won. Taking the gold ring at the end gurantees nothing.

I have to disagree there. It looks like success is inevitable if you can strive 'til the Top 5 or so, but I find it hard-pressed to remember very many of the Top 10 from other years, much less see them thriving in the music business. The American Public is very quick to forget.
