AI 8 3/18/09 And now there are 10

Tonight one will fall and there will be 10 and the top 10 will be going on tour. Welcome to your results show, what have you done America. The results may shock you. THIS IS AMERICAN IDOL!

Last night over 31,000,000 votes were cast.

Cue our first montage of the night, which is a recap of last night performances.

Well it is time for the group number performing Travis Tritt’s “Trouble”. I did like how they had Scott playing the piano. I always look forward to see how they will handle this. Outside of the ridiculous background, playing this was one of the best group numbers ever.

I cannot say I enjoyed the Ford commercial but there were some funny moments.

Tonight we are getting another montage of what happens after a contestant is voted off. I really liked this one. It was both celebratory yet brought a tear to my eye. I did laugh out loud when Jorge told every one not to get comfortable because every week someone has to leave.

Ryan wastes time by talking to the contestants and what is this shameless plug of airtime for Michael? I do not need to see him tearing up because his three ½ year old daughter asked him why he did not want to live with her. Can I say sympathy vote!

I did laugh at the next montage of their rehearsal and everyone was wearing masks because of Megan’s “flu”.

It is time for some results:

Danny – safe
Lil – safe
Anoop – safe
Allison – Bottom 3
Michael – Bottom 3

It is time for Brad Paisley to plug his new song. I like Brad Paisley and enjoyed the performance.

Time for more results:

Scott – safe
Megan – safe
Matt – safe
Kris – safe
Adam – safe
Alexis – bottom 3
Allison is sent back to safety, yeah! Who is going home? We will find out after the commercial and performance by Carrie and Randy.

Well I took sucked on the bottom 3 this week only getting 1 out of 3. This is more par for the course. I guess I cannot hope America learn their lessons by reading my blog.

Carrie Underwood who looks incredible and Randy Travis are doing a new duet for the first time live on stage. I liked the song, “I Told You So”. First I cannot call it much of a duet because Randy did not sing much. Carrie sounded incredible however, she was closing her eyes quite a bit, which I just hate.

It is now time for the reveal. Michael is safe and Alexis is going home. Damn I missed on my prediction.

Will the judge’s use their save, they are considering it but only after Alexis sings for her survival.

I thought Alexis was worst tonight than last night. She was totally off pitch and some of those notes were fingers down the chalkboard.

Will the judges save her? No, Alexis is going home.

I am surprised she went so quickly given she is from the south. I am sorry it is not Megan but oh well.

Until tomorrow…
