AI 9 4-28-10 And now there are five

The American Idol voters are idiots and it is time for Ronald to go postal on the whole group of them. There is something wrong when someone who can sing survives while Lee who could not hit the right note if it slapped him across the face survives. Season 9 will go down as the worst in Idol history.

We have another tension filled video introduction. I will give those editors their due because these have been the most interesting all season.

There were 33 million votes cast last night via phone and text yet America remains tone deaf.

Ronald is doing his happy dance, as there is no group number most likely because they could not find enough Shania songs, which would not have embarrassed our male contestants to sing. “Man I feel like a woman!” indeed – LOL!

Rascal Flatts are performing instead and thankfully, they put on a fantastic performance. Wow color me surprised because we have a musical guest that matches the theme and they can sing live. I have died and gone to paradise.

We then fill more time with some ridiculous interviews and footage about making the Ford commercial and then we had to watch the stupid vampire inspired commercial. Ford please demand your money back now!

Well it is time for more cross promotion marketing with an extremely too long video for ‘Shrek Forever After” with the contestants and Ryan. Please tell me that is not Cameron Diaz and Antonio Banderas on the Idol stage hawking their film, it is – what the hell – if I was them I would fire my agents for putting me in that position. Showing up for “Idol Gives Back” yes, trying to sell your movie, no.

Time for the elimination to begin as Ryan spends excessive time separating the contestants in groups of two before finally revealing the bottom three of “Big Mike”, Casey, and Siobhan.

Carrie Underwood shows up just to introduce a musical guest? What is wrong with this picture? Now I see she is promoting her concert tour because the next guest will be on the tour with her. It is time for Sons of Sylvia. I have never heard of them but they were good. Two guest artists who can sing, unbelievable.

We have yet a third music guest Lady Antebellum singing another country hit. Ronald is just happy the music guests are singing in key!

There is a fourth and final guest artist “Shakira” and Ronald just shakes his head, what the hell does she have to do with country. Well Rascal Flatts is performing with her and again Ronald just shakes his head in amazement. All I will comment about the performance is it did not suck!

Time to reveal the contestant heading home to night as Ryan sends “Big Mike” back to the couch to safety. This leaves Casey and Siobhan waiting for the hammer to fall. Siobhan is going home and Ronald stood up screaming at the television set using some extremely offensive expletives in interesting combination. America is freaking nuts as I have stated previously.

Siobhan leaves with grace and style reprising “Think” which she nails once again.

Next week Harry Connick, Jr. will be here to mentor the contestants using the Frank Sinatra songbook. I am anxious for this one – NOT!

I will be in Memphis next week so my blogs will be all after the fact. I have a business obligation next Tuesday night so I will not be able to watch the show or vote. I will be recording it and will still be able to comment on the performances.

There is only three more weeks of the season and I am honestly looking forward to it ending!

Until next time….
