American Idol – Top 9 Take 2 Results
So tonight the top 9 becomes the top 7, no chances for anyone to be saved. Ryan tells us that later we will be treated to performances by Brooke White, Justin Gaston, and Adam Lambert; but right now we will hear our top 9 performing a medley of Elvis classics.
Talk about a tepid start to a show that should be packed with drama. Those were some of the weakest vocals and the choreography was beyond lame. I know these kids are rock stars but surely they could do better than that. A commercial break and it’s time for the Ford commerical music video, and now the results start.
Ryan calls Aaron, Casey, and Andrew out to center stage and with a swiftness that is startling cuts Andrew from the competition, Casey and Aaron are safe. Andrew sings himself out and it’s time for a commercial break.
Oh yes, Idol Gives Back is next week and there are still auction items available on idolgivesback.org. We get to see a video of Elliott Yamin and Kara in Angola, heart breaking and heart warming at the same time. Then Brooke White and Justin Gaston do a duet for us, I kind of wish they hadn’t, seriously getting an auto insurance quote would have been a better use of the time. Ryan tells us we can get that single free on itunes, guess they no one would ever pay for it. We’re off to commercial but there will be more results when we return.
We’re back and Ryan recaps for us and then calls the bottom row out to center stage. Lee blunders through an answer to Ryan’s question, Siobhan is reviewed next, then Katie, next up for review is Michael. It seems like Ryan is rushing through these some, I know there is time left, we haven’t seen Adam yet. Ryan does reviews for Crystal then Tim. Ryan tells Crystal she is safe, then he tells Siobhan she’s safe. Next he tells Lee that the song he sang last night is the song Daughtry sang the week he was eliminated, he invites Lee to walk with him, then sit with him, Lee is safe. It’s time for a break, Adam will perform when we come back and maybe just maybe we will find out if it is Mike, Tim, or Katie going home.
Next week’s theme is inspirational songs in honor of Idol Gives Back and Alicia Keys will be the mentor. Adam sings Whataya Want From Me, it’s as dramatic as you would expect from Adam. Too bad he can’t get his act together, he has a great voice. Adam says that Idol showed him what it would take in the real world, doesn’t say much for Idol does it. When we come back from commercial we’ll find out if it’s Tim, Michael, or Katie going home.
Tim is the next guy back to safety, leaving Michael and Katie standing center stage. Ryan says that one is going home and one wasn’t even in the bottom 3 this week. The person going home is Katie, I feel bad for her but I’m glad Michael wasn’t even in the bottom 3. Katie sings one last time, tearfully and with more emotion than I’ve ever seen her display in a performance. One last look back at Katie and Andrew’s Idol journey, Katie cries through the whole thing. We’re done for the night, don’t forget it’s Idol Gives Back next week.
