Eleven minus one equals The AI Tour


Well, here we are waiting to see who will be eliminated after the worst American Idol that I can remember. The "save" can be used by the judges tonight, but I seriously doubt they'll use it.


The Top 11 started out by doing the obligatory group song. This week it was "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go," by Wham. Cheesy as always. You have to think the contestants hate doing this BS. With all they have to do all week, learning the group song and the choreography just takes their valuable time that could be better spent.


Whoever gets tossed tonight misses out on the Idols tour. Only the Top Ten get to go.


First we see the weekly Ford video that they all have to participate in. I usually like these short little ditties.


After a little banter between Seacrest and the contestants, the process got started. First to be called up was Siobhan. She, predictably, was safe and gets to chill for the rest of the show.


Lee and Casey were next to be scrutinized. The judges liked both of them. Niether were told yet of their fate. Instead, Tim and Paige were asked to join Lee and Casey. The judges didn't like either of these two. They really thought Paige stunk big time.


Both Tim and Paige were sent to stew on the dreaded stools as two of the bottom three.


Commercials and then here comes Miley Cyrus!


After the break, Miley Cyrus stepped up on stage and sang her song, "When I Look At You." Who knew she could play the piano? She looked great. Our little girl has become a young lady. Her song was a slow ballad and was good. I liked it. She and Seacrest chatted it up a bit and then the elimination process continued. Not so fast. . . .


More commercials.


Back to the elimination. Lee and Casey are proclaimed safe. Aaron was next. All the judges liked his rendition of Aerosmith the night before. He was safe.


Didi was next. After the nationwide vote, Didi was safe and joined Lee, Casey and Siobhan on the sofa.


Michael was next. America voted, and Michael will be going on tour. He was safe.


Crystal stepped up next. She, of course, was safe.


Katie and Andrew next. Both underwhelmed the judges. One of the two will be in the bottom three. And it's Katie. Andrew is safe.


Next, Seacrest immediately sent one of the bottom three back to the safa, so it's either Paige or Tim who will be packing their bags. But we won't find out until after a few more commercials, and another performance. This time by Debbie Lavato and Joe Jonas. They sang a ballad that was fair at best. I have never been a fan of the Jonas Brothers.


Now on to the bad news. . . . Dim the lights. . . . Here we go. The person going home tonight unless the judges grant a stay of excution is. . . Paige. Even before she sang for the "save," Simon told her not to bother. Home she goes.


See ya next time!
