AI 8 3/11/09 and there are now 11

Your top 13 have made it this far but for two of them their journey will end tonight. This is your results, what have you done America and what is this new rule. THIS IS AMERICAN IDOL!

Last night America cast 33,000,000 votes, the most ever for this soon in the competition.

What is the new Rule? The judges save! The judges can save one contestant from elimination up to the Top 5 but the decision must be unanimous and used only once during the entire season. On the next show after the save, two contestants will go home. I can live with this. It will add some drama to see if, for whom, and when the judges might use this save.

It is time for the group medley and for tonight, it is the hits of the Jackson 5. Overall, I thought they did a good job. I love watching how they get Scott moved around. Danny has not learned to dance since last night his moves were dumb.

Cue the first montage of the evening, which naturally are the highlights from last night’s show.

How exciting, it is time for the first Ford commercial of the season with the contestants. The tune used was “We will Rock you”. It was not too bad.

Time for the first elimination:

Michael – safe

Allison – safe

Jasmine – is sent center stage

Matt – safe

Kris – safe (yeah)

Megan – is sent center stage

Jasmine and Megan, one is safe one is going home. Megan is safe (damn I am stuck looking at her tattoo).

Jasmine is going home unless the judges use their save. Poor Jasmine has to sing again and perhaps because the pressure was off she sounded better than last night.

Ryan goes to Randy for the answer – “Jasmine, sorry girl you are going home”. Ronald is now one for one in his predictions for the elimination.

Next up is a performance by Kayne West of “Heartless”. I only ask what the point of this is. Oh yes, it is a frigging waste of time and I did not like the performance at all. Pull up your damn pants.

Time for the second elimination:

Scott – safe

Alexis – safe

Danny – safe

Anoop – is sent center stage

Adam – safe

Jorge – is sent center stage

Lil – safe

Anoop and Jorge, one is safe, one is going home. We will find out who after the commercial and Kelly Clarkson.

Idol is bringing back all the idols and they are kicking it off with Kelly. I love Kelly Clarkson and she rocks the house. Hot, hot, and hot! She showed Kayne what a real performer is.

It is time for the announcement, Anoop is safe and Jorge is going home depending on whether the Judges use their save. Please note Ronald is two for two in his predictions. Jorge gets another chance to sing and I still was not impressed.

Ryan goes to Simon for the answer will Jorge be saved? Simon responds – NO!

Jorge’s journey ends tonight.

Please note I successfully predicted who would be in the bottom 4 and who would be eliminated. I rock if I say so myself and I will.

There are now 11.

Until next week…
