American Idol cut to 12 (DVR-delayed liveblog)
Posted by sarahk at 08:23 PM | View blog reactions | Comments (9)

I wanna hear about your suntan. And your spinach salad.

Ryan felt the need to tell us that there's drama and anything can happen.

Say, those dozen empty seats that the contestants are hoping for look incredibly uncomfy.

EEEE! Bo Bice is out to perform! We didn't even know his album was out until a couple of weeks ago. We need to get that. Is it any good? I'm sure it is, it's Bo. He had a baby, and from the looks of that left hand, he got hitched! Hooray! I'm surprised, I'm actually not liking this song, it's too pop for Bo. He's a rocker! He's still great, works the stage... Ok, lemme ask, what kind of loser sees someone's house on TV and then decides to track him down and camp out for pictures and such? They had to move. That sucks. Of course, I'm sure they got a nicer, bigger house, so that's good. But what jerks those people were to hunt him down. Shame shame shame.

BTW, I like the stage this year. I like the overlooks and whatnot. But this is the last night for that location, right? Don't they go to a bigger venue?

Anyway, the girls. The first girl to go isn't Lisa or Melissa or Ayla. It's Kinnik. She's a really talented singer, and she seems genuinely nice, I wish her well. She looks pretty. I can't believe I like that dress, because I usually wouldn't, but I actually like it. BTW, Ryan's bitter that Simon got the best of him with the jibes last night, because he doesn't even want to let Simon speak tonight. Come on, suck it up, Ryan. It'll be ok.

Minerva is sleeping adorably on the back of the sofa, and Sydney is watching American Idol.

Gedeon has one of the best personalities of any AI contestant ever. "God bless everyone." He's such a nice boy. So for the boys, Will is the first one to go. And like Kinnik, his problem was always song choice. And that shirt he's wearing with the what are those? Magnolias? Gardenias? LOL, our DVR froze right when he sang "I wanna stop." He was better on that song tonight than last night, but it's still not an AI song.

Top 6 girls:
Paris is safe.
Katharine is safe.
Someone claw my ears off for me, Kellie's in the top 12. No surprise.
Mandisa, my girl. She's safe, and Simon gets his wish for her to sing on a bigger stage. Bad gaucho pants wearer, though!
Lisa is in the top 12.
So it's down to Ayla and Melissa. Melissa is sure she's going home, Ayla doesn't know what to think.
And after the break, Melissa is in the top 12!
And Ayla is going home for 2 reasons: 1) song choice was horrible Tuesday night. 2) Kellie Pickler is blonde and hot. Ayla's one of the more talented girls, but it just didn't work out for her. Best of luck to her.


Top 6 guys:
Taylor's in.
Ace is in (maybe he and Kellie will sing in the same segment, and I'll just skip it altogether).
Chris is in.
Kevin is in. *sigh* Is America even listening??
The Brittenum twins are in the audience. Why?
So it's to Gedeon and it's to Bucky. I really think Gedeon's got the pipes. I really expected Kevin to be gone. I can't watch. Gedeon is the more talented.
Expletive deleted, Gedeon's going home. He's still smiling. "It's by the blood of Jesus I'm saved." I really like this kid. He asked America to pray for him. You got it, bud. I'm going to miss him. And for the record, I did vote for him.

I did not call this one. I was right on the girls, but the guys I missed completely.

I've gotta say. I'm LOVING the song they play at the end of elimination night this year. "Bad Day" by Daniel Powter. Wasn't it on Scrubs one night?

I don't know if it's God that hates me, or if it's the AI producers. Maybe Simon, because I'm NOT a fan of his naughty mink. I got an email from Cadet Happy when we were about 40 minutes in, laughing his pinkytoe off that it was Stevie Wonder night next week. I'd hoped he was just messing with me.

But no. Next week is Stevie Wonder night. And next week, every single contestant will get "Song Choice" as the main part of their critique. No one will have a good song choice.

Frank wants my prediction for who will be the first of the top 12 to go. It'll be the person who picks "My Cherie Amour", unless that's Taylor, because he's pretty much the only one who can pull it off. If they do "Ebony and Ivory" for the group song, and all the white people sing the ebony part and all the black people sing the ivory part, I'm SO done with this show. I'm tempted to be done with this show merely because of Stevie Wonder night. I predict it'll be in the bottom 3 of all AI shows ever. Along with Gloria Estefan night and Barry Manilow night.

All things being equal, Bucky goes first.

Rating: 3.9/5 (4 votes cast)

I have to tell you that I love your AI reports. But Bucky won me over last week because he did Pat Green. I mean, Pat Green! So at least he has good taste in music! And I really think it was cruel of America to move Kevin on. It's going to be hard on him - he's way out of his league.

My wife thought Kevin, Elliot, Lisa, and Melissa should have gone home tonight.

FWIW.

What do you have against Kellie Pickler? She;s like the second hottest girl on that show.

#3 - Posted by: Ice Wolf on March 10, 2006 12:53 AM

Ice Wolf, I didn't say claw my eyes out, I said claw my ears off. Hot does not mean talented. Try watching her perform without the TV on mute, and you'll hear what I'm talking about.

#4 - Posted by: sarahk on March 10, 2006 07:27 AM

Hey sarahk. I think that you and Ann Althouse need to have some sort of Idol blog-off. I still can't watch the show for fear of going deaf and blind, but I love reading the reviews. AND Ann HATES Taylor. Them's fightin' wards!!!!

My wife thought Kevin, Elliot, Lisa, and Melissa should have gone home tonight.

WHAT!?!? ELLIOT!?!?! Elliot is the single best singer PERIOD! Mandisa has that big voice stuff, but elliot, while he did pick a bad song this week, is phenomenal. It's unfortunate that he looks he got into fight about some hot chick. . . .with a ram, he is an ugly mofaku.

I like taylors personality, I just don't think he has the chops, and I like kevin, and he DOESN'T have the chops, and if you take kevin, and taylor and put them together, you get my all time favorite AI participant, the mighty mighty mormon JPL John Peter Lewis. Watching Taylor perform made me think of JPL's "I little more conversation" I think, I always screw up the title of that song.

and Paris, is overrated, I'm all about Mandisa.

#6 - Posted by: wickedpinto on March 10, 2006 03:05 PM

The wife and I were very dissapointed in Bo's album. WAY to pop for Bo. We were all prepped to love it, but no.

Elliot sounds great, but he looks like that guy from O' Brother (no, not George Clooney...) I wish I could make Clooney's teeth look like Elliot's though...

#7 - Posted by: craigo on March 10, 2006 09:24 PM

I am pissed they picked Kevin over Gedeon. I never expected Gedeon to win the whole thing, but he is waaaaay better than Kevin. But Kevin has the middle school girl vote (split with Ace). What a bummer. I just hope they don't take him too far. He simply isn't that good. I totally agree with Simon, he's like a cute 12-year-old, and too juvenile.

I wonder if those "vote for the worst" people are responsible for this?

#8 - Posted by: Andrew on March 11, 2006 09:03 AM

Why does everyone think Gedeon was booted off because of Kevin...could it not have been Bucky?? Since he was the second last one standing...I think so
