Let me start by saying I think last night was a low point for this season of American Idol. Just about all of the contestants did a lousy job. They seem to be getting worse. The show seems to be getting worse. Is this the Beta edition of Idol? First, there was the addition of Kara as the fourth judge. This practice has ended up biting the show in the ass. While she is an OK addition, she certainly isn't necessary. Her presence adds time to the show and has made the show run too long, and forced the producers make changes to acommodate her being there, such as just having two judges comment after each performance, thereby leaving us with two instead of the four judges that they were shooting for. Also dispensed with was the ridiculous way the fab four were being introduced, descending the stairs like big time superstars. This season is trial and error. I hope FOX sees all this and corrects it next season.
So the show started out with the Ford commercial and the group sing-a-long. Since last night's theme was "Music From The Cinema," the group tune was maniac. I really wish they would dispense with this madness. That would save time. But I guess that's all they have on Wednesday nights. I mean how long does it really take to eliminate one singer?? Wednesday is all about filler, while Tuesday's show can't even fit into the alloted time.
Anyway, after the song and some blah, blah, blah from Seacrest and some recorded crap about the contestants attending the premiere of "17 Again" (think that's a FOX movie??), the elimination began.
First up, Allison found out she was safe. I'm glad about that. I was afraid she might have been in the bottom three, but she made it through. I didn't really like her cover of Aerosmith, but luckily America did. Next up, Adam, who sang Steppenwolf's "Born To Be Wild," not surprisingly made it through as well.
Then poor Anoop. Bottom three almost every time, Anoop, who sang "Everything I Do I Do For You," again heads to the stools. There he will sit until the last moments, or at least until one of the three is sent back to the safa.
After the break, Jennifer Hudson, American Idol alumna, sang her new song, "If This Isn't Love" and sounded great. She promoted a few of her projects, talked about her engagement, and a few other things. Then we took another break.
Kris was next. As was Lil. Both performances were weak as far as I was concerned. The judges were divided on Kris. All the judges didn't like Lil's performance of Bette Midler's "The Rose." Kris was safe, and Lil joined Anoop on the stools.
Matt and Danny stood up next. I didn't like Matt's performance, but thought Danny was the best of the night. Matt was sent to the stools, and Danny went to the safa. As I predicted, the bottom three are Anoop, Lil, and Matt. Deservedly so. But one gets to go back to the couch. The lucky one is Anoop. Bummer. I hate that Matt is in the bottom two.
Commercial. Commercial.
And now, the highlight of the season -- MILEY CYRUS sings her hit song "The Climb." Best performance I've ever seen anywhere by anyone! Love my Miley!! (Don't Hate!)
Here we go. . . . Simon was asked before the break if the "save" might be implemented and he said possibly for one of them, but declined to say who.
So who goes??? Lil or Matt??? Oh no!!! It's Matt!! I can't believe it!! Now it's time to sing for his reprieve. Will the judges let him have another stab at it?? I sure hope so. But I didn't like his song last night, and it's the same song tonight. I just hope the judges see that he's way more talented than Lil or Anoop, and on par with all the others on the sofa.
So now is the time. We'll see. . . Awaiting the verdict with baited breath. Will they save Matt??
YES!!!! SAVED!!!! Hmmmm. . . . . I guess I like this "save" thing after all. So Matt will be back next week for DISCO WEEK! But alas, two will exit the stage next time. I'll be here.
See ya next time!!
