American Idol - Season 8 - Top 7 - Results Part 2

Double Elimination Night...

Group number, song is "Let's Dance"... Back to lipsynching... The choreography was pretty good! Matt is a good dancer... I dare say this one rivals the best group dance last year...

Ford Video "I'm Good I'm Gone" - actually quite boring after this group number...

Lil up first, and she's asked to walk to the far side of the stage. She received the lowest number of votes, I guess, as Ryan says it's the end of the road for her. She sings her song "I'm Every Woman" again. The judges give her props and advices for her career.


Frieda Payne sings "Band of Gold", and is dancing, and she's out of breath and it's pretty bad. Now its Thelma Houston singing “Don’t Leave me This Way”, and she sounds much better. She then introduces KC and the Sunshine Band and they perform "Get Down Tonight". Hilarious!


Back from the commercial, and Ryan is back at it.

Kris stands up and Ryan says he's SAFE!!!!

Adam stands up now, and the crowd is going crazy! Ryan says that Adam is SAFE.

Danny now stands up and Ryan tells him he is SAFE.

Which leaves Allison, Anoop and Matt.

Anoop now stands up. Ryan tells him he is in the BOTTOM 3.

Allison and Matt now stand up. Ryan says Matt is SAFE! Allison is in the BOTTOM 3.

I'd be shocked if it was Allison going home. BUT... She did sing early in the night, while Anoop sang last... I don't think a contestant who got the pimp spot has been sent home before in previous seasons....


Singing "Touch My Hand", this is David Archuleta!!!!!! Let the girl screams commence..... *L*


Back from the commercial break, and Ryan announces that Anoop is going home. Allison is SAFE. So Anoop sings "Dim All The Lights" once again.

American Idol - Season 8 - Top 7 - Results

Group sing

Movie with Zach Effron


Results:

Allison stands up and she is... SAFE.

Adam stands up. Anyone doubts he's safe? Of course he's SAFE.

Anoop stands up. I'd bet 100$ he's in the Bottom 3. Is he? Ryan's toying with him a bit... And yeah, anoop is in the BOTTOM 3.


Jennifer Hudson is now singing "If This Isn't Love" off of her debut album. She's not sounding particularly good... and the song is not particularly good either...


Ryan asks Paula if Anoop deserves to be sitting in the B3. She says no. Simon is asked the same question, and he says yes.

Kris is asked to stand up, as well Lil. They are talking about Kris' performance, and Simon says "We didn't have a chance to talk last night, but I thought you were brilliant". YES SIMON YES! Now onto Lil's performance. She's explaining why she defended herself last night. Lil, it's ok. One of them is in the B3... and Kris is SAFE! Lil is in the BOTTOM 3.

Matt and Danny are now standing up. Chat about Matt's song, Matt said that in retrospect, he probably would do it over again in a more straight forward way. As for Danny, he says the reason he didn't change up the song is that he wanted to do a strip down version of the song as opposed to having the drums and everything else surrounding him. Randy said that Danny worked it out last night. One of them is safe, and it is.... Danny. Matt is in the BOTTOM 3.

I think America got it right - this is the right bottom 3 in the mind.

Ryan sends someone to the couch right away - and it is Anoop.


Miley Cyrus performs. Blech.


Back from the commercial, and Ryan says Lil is safe. Matt is the one who got the least amount of votes.

Matt sings "Have You Ever Really Love A Woman". He sang it MUCH MUCH better than the previous night. Now, are the judges going to use the save on him??? The crowd is chanting "SAVE SAVE SAVE SAVE SAVE!"

MATT IS STAYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So two people are gonna go home next week. And the theme? Disco night!

American Idol - Season 8 - Top 10 - Results

Weird pre-recorded Motown medley...


Ford Video - Pocketfull of Sunshine


Ruben Studdard performs his latest single "Together"


On with results:

Adam is... SAFE, of course.

Matt is... BOTTOM 3. WHAT?????????????????

Kris is... SAFE.

Michael and Lil are up at the same time. Lil is SAFE (after Ryan beat around the bush) and Michael is in the BOTTOM 3.



Smokey Robinson sings "Your The One For Me" with Joss Stone.


Allison stands up. Ryan says she is... SAFE.

Anoop is... SAFE.

Danny is... SAFE.

Scott and Megan are standing up. Scott is in the BOTTOM 3, while Megan is safe.

Ryan sends someone to the couches of safety, and it is SCOTT, who's SAFE.


Motown Medley with Stevie Wonder. And that was AWESOME!!!


Michael and Matt are sending at center stage. And Michael is the one with the lowest number of votes. Matt is SAFE.


Michael is going to sing for his life. He does a great job with his song, better than the night before.

And of course the judges don't save him.

I hate that damn twist with the judges. It was evident they were not gonna save him. And yet they were all like "Oh we have not decided yet, blah blah blah" and shit.

I really liked Michael's voice, his enthusiasm and his beautiful smile. While I knew he was not going to win, I'm still sad to see him go.

American Idol - Season 8 - Top 36 - Week 1 - Results

The night starts with a group sing of "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz.

While it was refreshing to hear some recent, relevant material on AI, the singing itself was not great... But it was still entertaining, if not for the sheer cheese value of it all.

Now onto the results. Ryan calls the contestants to center stage, chats with them, announces the results.

Casey - out
Stephen - out
Alexis - in - She sings an encore of her song" I Ain’t Never Loved a Man". And she does it even better than the previous night!

VIDEO

Rickey - out
Jacquie - out
Anoop - out (I'm sure he'll get a wildcard spot...)
Michael - in - He sings "I Don't Want To Be" again. And while i still think this was not a song for him, he does it better than the previous night, too.
