Results night, Disco has-beens edition
April 22nd, 2009
I wouldn’t say that I am warming up to the opening dramatic video montage recap. But I am not minding it as much. And Happy Earth Day! Recycle, people. That is my PSA for the night.
Paula, who is uncharactaristically spunky, introduces her own choreographed number to some disco songs. And the kids stayed surprisingly in sync. Not sure how I felt about the ceiling camera at the beginning or the reintroduction of the lipsyncing, but this appears to be the most dancing-apt group of finalists in a few seasons. (Remember season 6? Yeah, they were a choreography mess).
After the break, the Ford Video is to I’m Good, I’m Gone. This is the most boring Ford Video yet.
After the break, onto the killings. Lil is up first, and Ryan walks her to the other end of the stage, and axes her right then and there. Yikes! No pomp and circumstance for her. She sings her swan song better than last night, receives some advice from the judges, and exits stage left. If only all the results shows were this straightforward!
After the break a disco medley from stars who have not aged well. Yikes. There were flat notes, saggy clevage, and an obnoxious gold earring from KC without his sunshine band. Man, it sucks getting old, huh? That was definitely more awkward than not.
An aside, I am super excited about this Glee Club show, especially because it includes Lea Michelle of Broadway’s Spring Awakening fame. Love her, and I think I will enjoy this show.
More killings. Up first, Kris, who is safe. Adam is up next. And before he rambles on too much, is told by Ryan to sit down, because he is safe. Danny is up next, and is obviously safe.
Anoop is up next and his sent to his usual spot on the stools. This leaves Matt and Allison. Matt is told he is safe, and Allison is sent to the stools. Allison jaunts over singing Here We Go Again…I wonder if Idol will have to pay for that song now? hahaha.
After the break, Archuleta is up. I am not a fan of this song at all – it doesn’t seem very catchy. His other two previous singles are much more fun. But afterwards, it is way cute because it looks like Allison is a big Archie fan!
After the break, it is now or never. Please don’t let Allison go home. And she isn’t, because Anoop is going home.
Well this was about as non-shocker as you can get. And is Allison this season’s Syesha? Always in the bottom, but evading elimination? And will the top 5 sing two songs next week? Traditionally, this is how it would go, but they have proven they can’t fit eight performances in an hour, so how will they do ten? So many questions. So were you as unsurprised as me?

I got spoiled that Lil and Anoop were goners :(
Well, I AM sad, but what the heck, it’s the top7 after all, and somebody has to go home.
I am still a bit mad they were so unfair to Lil after pimping her so much (and her not being bad at all), and I think, since the judges always bitch about song choice, they should then at least give the contestants some counsel about what they think which songs would suit them.
“Shake your body”… nice song, obvious why they lip synced (though I ask myself why they still wore the around-the-head-microphones… oh right, for the talk afterwards)… Matt was the “worst” dancer, he missed a few moves here and there when they danced in sync, but on his own he was good. Adam (obviously) and Anoop seemed most natural at dancing from the boys, and both girls were ok. All in all, they were great.
On to watching the rest of the show.
And I think Alison should go next, if she doesn’t at least show SOMETHING new singing/arrangement-wise.

Oh and I don’t agree the oldsters didn’t age well :D

Again me :D
Lil and Anoop handled the elimination very well and with class. I just hope Lil doesn’t go around and bitch about the show and the judges in the media like Megan did in that one interview, because then she won’t get any chance to do more… I know Megan was just honest, but that doesn’t pay off sometimes…
Archuleta ♥

I was unsurprised by the results, but I thought the seat occupied by Anoop could have just as easily been Matt. I think he’s in danger next week.
