Seven Sang, Six Stay – Maybe Sorta

Tonight another hopeful goes home, who will it be? And will the judges use their save? Find out here. Stay tuned!

Okay, we have an intro that is very Quentin Tarentino-esque. I don’t really care for it. My call for bottom three: Lil Rounds, Matt Giraud and Anoop Desai/Kris Allen (it’s a toss-up). But I’ve heard some say that Danny (put the go in) Gokey will be there. Let’s find out!

But not before the Ford music video where they’re doing interesting things to “Freeze Frame” by The J. Geiles Band. And then the group song from “Flashdance”, “Maniac”. I love Allison Iraheta singing to Simon. And even with Scott McIntrye gone, the dancing still is bad.

Now we get to the results. Maybe. Ryan questions the contestants about working with Mr. Tarentino. And now tape of the Idols going to the premiere of “17 Again”. LOL, Lil pawns Danny at the end of the segment there. Love it.

Results! Finally. Allison Iraheta stands. She is safe. I hate how Ryan puases, trying to build tension as well as waste time. Adam Lambert is next. He’s safe, I don’t know why Ryan bothers to try and build tension there. Anoop Desai is next. Anoop says he feels comfortable on stage and wants Ryan to give it up. Anoop’s in the bottom three. I don’t think he’s going home (I hope not!).

Jennifer Hudson is going to sing next. Ryan mentions she’s the only Idol to have an Oscar. So far. Who knows who might go on to act or win a Best Song Oscar?

Ryan asks Anoop about being on the silver stools of doom. He says he’s frustrated. I don’t blame him. More results. Kris Allen is up and so is Lil Rounds. Simon pipes in that Kris was brilliant as he didn’t get to comment on the performance last night. Lil is defending herself. Kris sits and Lil is back in the bottom three. So far I’m right. Matt Giraud and Danny (put the go in) Gokey stand. Danny is safe and Matt returns to the silver stools. The three come to the center of the stage. I called it. I kind of hate being right as Anoop is my favorite. Ryan is going to send someone back. Anoop is safe (thank you!).

Miley Cyrus is performing now. I think it sounds like she’s trying to hard with her counrty twang, but Brad says it’s the sound mixing for the show. Apparently the sound is bad this season and it would sound better live. I’ve read this from many other pundits as well. So it begs the question, is America really hearing the singers? I highly doubt it and that kind of calls into question the results. If the home audience isn’t getting the best sound quality, should they charge the show with fraud? I know it’s a big claim, but I think it’s true.

Ryan is asking the judges if they would use the save. He says they would for one and it would be a surprise to that person. I think it’s Matt Giraud they would save after the comments he gave Lil Rounds yesterday.

Back from commercial and Ryan says 36 million voted. Lil Rounds is still safe. So will they save Matt? So he gets to sing for his life. Paula AND Kara are both dancing. What happened to deliberating? The crowd is cheering to save him. I’ve never heard them do that before. And he’s safe!!! But that means two people have to go next week. Simon just reminded them of that fact and announced next week’s theme, Disco! See everyone next week.
