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.
