AI8 4/1/09 And now there are 8

Nine faced the judges and your vote; one could lose it all … THIS IS AMERICAN IDOL!

It is time for how can we drag out the reveal of elimination to one hour.

Once again, there were over 36,000,000 votes.

Ryan spent more useless time with the judges before cueing up the Ford commercial. It was interesting but lame, the song was not very good either.

It is time for another infamous group number, “Don’t Stop Belivin” by Journey. I am surprised Randy was not up on the stage with them. I actually liked this number. It is probably my favorite so far of the season. I thought everyone did a great job and I loved Allison and Kris. I see they had Scott at the keyboards until the last little bit of the number when he moved in line with the rest. Lil was looking good last night. Megan cannot move she looks like a fool with her “signature” moves.

Cue the second montage of the evening about what the Idol experience during their time on the show. I was disappointed we do not get more shots of the mansion. The time waster when they were all trying to mimic each other was funny but unnecessary.

It is time for the reveal, NOT! Ryan breaks them up into groups of three:

Megan Adam Scott
Matt Lil Danny
Kris Allison Anoop

How cute, there is someone from each group going to those uncomfortable stools, who will it be.

Oh happy day, Megan is on her way to the bottom 3. I do not believe I have ever seen a contestant as happy and cheery as she was in moving to the chair. She was skipping and what was up with the cawing and arm flapping. Did she think she could fly or something. It was very strange behavior. Megan must not have read my blog or paid any attention to this show for the last seven seasons. Do not mouth off to the judges. Her I like the judges but I do not care what they have to say. You are a fool.

It is time for David Cook to sing – yeah! I love his album and “Come Back to Me” is a great song. It is funny David was not actually there last night. It was taped live last week. It was a nice touch to give him his Platinum plaque on the show. David has great performance skills. He works well with his band. Totally loved it!

The rest of our bottom 3 is announced Allison and Anoop. I only predicted one of the three.

It is time for Lady Gaga to perform. I love her. This was a great performance.

Time to send someone back to safety; Allison is heading to the comfortable seats.

We are down to Anoop and Megan. Megan is going home. Ronald was out of his chair jumping up and down with joy (no pun intended). I was yelling and screaming and doing my happy dance. I will still be stuck with her at the concert this summer but she will not be hurting my eardrums for the next few weeks anyway.

Megan’s words came back to bite her when Simon explained since Megan did not care neither did they. This is your swan performance there will be no judge’s save.

Can we say I thought last night’s version of this song was worst then on Tuesday? It was horrible. Her moves have to go down in the record books as the worst dance movement ever. I finally had to mute the sound because she was irritating me so much.

Next week’s theme is songs from the year of the contestant’s birth. It should be interesting.

Until next week…
