Hi. Welcome. Ryan is so proud of the “come out of the closet” script with Simon last night that he wants you to see it again. Also a replay of The Children™. Tonight they are doing a dreaded Diana Ross medley that starts with a crazy-eyed Phil staring at Brandon or someone equally forgettable. Please make it stop. My head is KILLING me.
Here is the first awful Ford commercial. The kids are so pleased with themselves. Was that Bo Bice or Chris Richardson at the beginning? The song is “Float On”. Float away.
LaKisha is safe.
Gina is safe. Yay!
Brandon is in the bottom three.
Jordin is safe. She is very smiley.
Chris Richardson has many fans in the audience. He is safe.
Melinda, also many many fans. She is safe.
Phil Stacey is IN THE BOTTOM THREE! Wow, I kinda didn’t see that one coming.
Chris Sligh is safe. Yay!
Stephanie is safe.
Blake has many fans. He is back next week, safe.
We’ll find out if it’s Haley or Sanjaya in the bottom three after the break. I’m telling you, it’s Sanjaya.
American Idol for the Challenged question: Which Idol did Simon predict would sell more albums than any other? Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, or Taylor Hicks. Y’all, I’m sure it was Taylor. Simon thought Taylor was the bestest Idol ever.
Diana Ross is out to perform. She is in a long ruby dress with this giant feather shawl that she carries behind her to look like a butterfly until she starts to sing, then she holds it to one side, then she gets tired of it and throws it on the floor. She’s classy and flashy and insists that the crowd sing along to “I Love You More Today Than Yesterday”, a song which she does not pronunciate. Ryan asks Diana three times who is going home tonight, and after she talks about inspiration, he asks, “Who’s going home?” and she says, “You know what? Me.” She’s adorable with all that wild hair.
After the break, SANJAYA!! joins Phil and Brandon in the bottom three. Haley can’t believe her schmucky tears got her to the safety couch. So there is justice, somewhat, and the bottom three is an all-male stinker.
Right away, Ryan sends Phil and his hinky bald head back to safety. His wife is so happy. Phil just looks ticked off that he was even in the bottom three to begin with. Like it’s a chore for him to walk back to safety. I’m sure Brandon would love to take your spot on the couch. How about a smile and a thank you, Smarmyface? Now I like him even less. That’s like negative like.
So it’s Sanjaya and it’s Brandon. I still say Brandon is going. And Brandon is out. Sing it with me. He’s going home to the place where he belongs. La la la la la a la la la la la laaaaaaaaaa. I only know the first line.
Simon couldn’t have thought Taylor was the bestest idol ever. He’s not normally an idiot, anyway.
And what do you mean Melinda had “almost as many” fans as Bad Chris? (and ok, here’s an example of Simon being an idiot (so maybe he thought Taylor was good after all), in that, regarding his comment last night, subtracting Chris’ personality leaves you exactly with his talent, since subtracting zero from a number leaves you with that number. actually, since his personality may technically be a negative, not zero, subtracting his personality from his performance may actually IMPROVE his score, but that would prove Simon wrong as well. but I digress…) Melinda had at least twice as much applause as anyone.
1/1 on boots
2/3 on bottom 3
oops, I can’t read, sorry. somehow “also many” became “almsot as”. I blame it on Diana Ross night. Not that one should need an excuse to bash Bad Chris.
but I think the biggest cheer of the night actually came at Sanjaya being in the bottom 3, heh.
So I missed the show. Oddly enough, the first place I thought to go find out who went home was not Americal Idol’s home page (they never update) or even google (noun, not verb), but IMAO.
Thanks SarahK.
I love that you give us the rundown. This is the one show I watch that I can’t watch later online and it is such a relief to be able to read your synopsis and feel like I didn’t miss anything 🙂
aw, thanks, guys. y’all make me feel wanted sometimes.
and tommy, that was just a tiny bit of sarcasm about Simon loving Taylor. i like sarcasm. i should probably have told y’all that at some point in my AI snark career.
oh. i meant that I was sure Sanjaya would sit safely on the couch while Haley would be in the bottom three. oops, oh well.
i’m just joshin’ with you Mrs. Taylor Hicks 😉
(and I have no idea whether Simon liked Taylor or not, as I couldn’t watch that season because of his (and most everyone else’s, to be fair) awful performances, so any sarcasm on that point would have flown right over my head)
When is the hotel night shift going to tire of voting for Sanjaya?
I like that they tell people not to sing the “greats” but if they DO to “make it their own”. And then they have Diana Ross night, a ‘great’ and some of them do original arrangements of her song and the say ‘why didn’t you just sing it the way Diana did’.
Gina is safe! That’s all I care about!
But just to add a bit more to this post, I’m still praying that Zombie boy will be gone next week. I can’t believe he is still there.
And lastly, does anyone else think that Diana Ross should just call it a career?
To get rid of sanjaya everyone has to get their fingers where their mouths are and vote. Hello,
there are people out there trying to vote the worst singer winner. so….sad real talent could be wasted for people that don’t like the show yet will spend one night a week devoted to it instead of just not turing it on.
Sanjaya looked disapointed to not be going home. The whole show, everytime the camera was on him he looked sad and mopey. At this point even he knows he isn’t in the same league as the other singers, and Dell tech support in Bangalore is keeping him up there. I hate him so much that I hope he keeps getting voted through a few more round so he can embarras himself some more.
Thank you, come again!
Sanjaya is riding the “VotefortheWorst.com” wave. Which will take him another round or two at the most. Honestly I think they should cut this whole thing down to the top 6 right now:
Melinda, LaKisha, Stephanie, Blake, Gina, Chris S., and have a smackdown sing-off.
InsanityWithheld you are so right –
(“And lastly, does anyone else think that Diana Ross should just call it a career?”)
If she were competing with the contestants I would’ve voted her off. Sorry, Diana, you’re truly beautiful inside & out, but it was not your best night 🙁
