Yes. Once again it’s results night on the show that continues to distract me from the more important things in life like sour cream, peanut butter, and a nice barbera port.
April 4 has arrived, and I breathlessly await Sanjaya’s hair tonight (not really). Surely he won’t have it slicked back still from last night, so I’m hoping for a new and festive doo. Although, he’s been reserving the wild and crazy for show nights, so perhaps tonight it will be a bit more tame. Let’s wait and see. (it was normal tonight, but looked like it had been cut)
As you may have heard earlier on the news, Tony Bennett has a cold, and will unfortunately, not be able to perform tonight. The producers were apparently trying to get Michael Buble
First off – why was Paula wearing a wedding dress? I mean, don’t get me wrong, I thought she looked beautiful, but…lace? That’s so…puritanical.
Recap time – video montage and we get to see how right (about Chris) and wrong (about Blake) the judges were last night. We were also reminded at how much Simon laughs at everything Paula says.
[I realized at this point...I really like Tivo. Watching live TV is just...so '87, and unfortunately I'm going retro tonight.]
Ford commercial – “One Love” – I hate this song. In fact, I’ve hated every single song they’ve done with Ford this season. And what’s with the suds again? I mean, I did enjoy seeing Chris and Blake covered in suds at the laundromat earlier, but this just sucked. And why the Kermit cameo at the end? Please make it stop…couldn’t they go with Volvo or Subaru or something?
Grouping – Contestants are divided in groups of three on the stage, into top, bottom and middle three.
Group 1: Blake, Chris, Sanjaya – all safe (middle three)
Group 2: Haley, Gina, Phil – bottom three this week
Group 3: Jordin, Melinda, LaKisha – all safe, duh (top three)
Special guest – Ryan kept teasing this without ever telling us who it was going to be – turns out it is Ryan’s “friend”, Michael Buble. I guess everyone is his friend in this business. Do you think they really hang out? I doubt it. Why did Michael go over to dance freakishly with the band? Odd, I tell you, odd. Did he forget the words at one point? Some people are even speculating that he was drunk. I’m really not sure what to say about this performance. Not good? You tell me…but it was cute that they joked about still voting for Antonella Barba.
Ok, let’s get to the results folks – sorry it’s been drug out so long, but you know how Ryan just LOVES to go to commercial breaks every 30 seconds. So we’re down to Haley, Gina, and Phil. The first person sent back to safety is…Phil. Not surprising, he was ok last week.
It’s down to Haley and Gina. The judges gave their useless assessment of whether America got it right or not. Ryan did a quick recap, and…after 33 million votes…Gina is out.
What the HELL is that about? How on earth is my rocker chick out? Yeah, I’ll repeat what I said before to Idol 2007…I’m not feeling it this season, and now even more so. When Haley, Sanjaya, and Phil can stay in the competition and Gina can’t…well it’s just ridiculous. (Check out what Idol 2007 thought)
I seriously wonder if the Idol kids shun the lesser-talented contestants like Haley and Sanjaya…must be hell living together at this stage of the game. I would certainly have a hard time being nice to some of those people.
As a side note, I will also miss seeing Gina’s hot boyfriend in the audience.
Disgusted. That’s what I am. Sanjaya’s going to win this thing isn’t he?
