Results Night: screeeem and bleeeep edition
May 6th, 2009
Tonight should be a busy one with all of the guest performances. First, the Ford Video is to Move Along – and the idols looks like paper dolls.
School’s Out is the group song this week, which is fitting for me as I just finished my final school obligation about 3 hours ago! This performance was not as good as last week, but I loved Slash on the guitar. And Allison really gave Danny a good smack, probably as revenge from last week’s food fight!
Ryan talks to the kids, and Danny admits his scream last night was bad and should be in horror movies. I concur. And they bleeped Allison! Hahaha – what was so bad that they had to bleep her? Did she say friggin? effin? I find that so amusing. Thank God for the six second delay – we couldn’t dare hear effin on the air. Think of the children!
Up next is Paula. She is finally off her meds so they are handing over the stage. Pre-recorded, of course. That would have been a rough costume change if it was live! Plus, after the staircase incident yesterday with Debbie the stage manager, OSHA probably requires everyone to wear a harness while walking down.
After the break, No Doubt sings one of their classic tunes, I’m Just A Girl. Gwen is rocking her signature look from 1997 with the colored bra straps and wife beater. No Doubt was my first concert, back in the day. My mom had to drop me and my friends off because we couldn’t drive yet. Ahh, the memories! Gwen was great tonight – high energy and doing pushups on the stage. Loves it! That totally makes up for the bum mentoring week during season six.
Ryan said that we are not getting a bottom two, and that the results will be in random order. All the contestants get their recaps. And Ryan sends someone to safety. And Kris heads to the stools. He seems genuinely surprised and excited. One charter plane heading to Arkansas, coming up.
Daughtry is back and finally releasing a new album. It seems like it is overdue. Their first single called No Surprise, and he seems like he is changing the tone of his voice slightly, or perhaps he is just singing up a little higher than he normally does. I am excited for this album, as I really enjoyed their last one. Yay, Daughtry. And Kris delivers Chris his 5x platnum plaque.
Next we find out that Adam is safe. Not a shocker, really. So how long is the flight from LA to San Diego?
That leaves Allison and Danny. And the top 3 is a boys club because Danny is safe, and Allison is headed home.
Cry, Cry baby, is right. I am tearing up just watching this. I heart this girl so much. And Ryan is right, she will be on the radio soon enough. I am also pissed because I lost ALL of my idol pools this week. I hedged all my points between Kris and Danny, but alas, my worst fears have come true (cue Danny’s scream).
In good news, however, my mom has unknowingly volunteered to stalk Gokey on Friday as he heads on a private jet home to Mitchell International. Right, mom? I need exclusive video!
Ryan has promised that we will finally get two songs next week, still short of the three we normally get. Seriously don’t get me started.

It looks like Clive Davis got booted by the fourth judge.

Ha, Dave! So true. Maybe they thought he was too senile. BTW, top 3 = heads on maps – I know it is your favorite!

Yeah, tonight was a bum deal. Allison got Daughtried. But I hope she’ll manage okay, as he has.

I love Allison, but the only thing she improved over the weeks, IMHO, is her “interviewing ability”… remember how dull she seemed in the interview right before she blew us away with “Alone”? And Alone is still my favourite of her performances… To me she was the same week after week. But she’ll do good after AI.
I’m more worried about Kris – except for his huge charisma, he doesn’t have such a huge voice and his performances are kinda always the same safe zone, too…
So, still expecting my Danny/Adam finale :D

Oh and I forgot… I’m not sure if the video of Paula’s performance was pre-recorded – she wasn’t at the judges’ table almost right away, but it was lip synced and that kinda sucks for a judge on a singing-talent-show… but the coreography was cool.

I’m so bummed Allison got kicked off. I was hoping for an Allison / Adam finale. But at least we didn’t have to hear Danny scream again. That would have been too much.
Anyone else felt like they watched a concert versus American Idol last night? This whole “3 performers” crap….is really kind of getting old. Ok I totally get having previous American Idolers performing, but adding an additional performer is rather unnecessary.

I read somewhere that both Paula and No Doubt were pre-recorded (much like J-Hud was a couple of weeks ago).

Hey Gretchen (a.k.a. Laura’s mom :), I am so going to see Danny at Summerfest tomorrow! Laura you are really too hard on our hometown boy. It is great to see Milwaukee represented – FINALLY!
