Last week the Judges used there Save on poor Michael Lynche, whose performance of the Beatles classic Eleanor Rigby left the voters at home forgetting to dial his number. So, this week the Top 9 give it their all once more. But remember, at tomorrow nights results show we will be saying bye-bye to not just 1 Idol but 2.
This week's mentor is none other than last season's Glam Rock God(dess) Adam Lambert, let's hope Mr. Lambert can bring out the energy that this year's grouping seems to be misplacing. This week's theme is the songs of Elvis!
Crystal Bowersox ~ Saved
So, this wasn't my favorite performance by Mama Sox. Needless to say, she still sounded great and killed it like she always does. She still is the girl to beat and tonight was no different.
Andrew Garcia ~ Hound Dog
Okay, I was bored with that performance. The Andrew I liked and semi-adored lost his way a few weeks back. Last week he was cheesy, and this week it was a bad karaoke (Randy agreed). Andrew did not won the stage and his star persona/quality is fading fast.
Tim Urban ~ I Can't Help Falling In Love
Wow, that was really nice and tender. Tim is coming into his own as a artist, who would have thunk it? Now, Tim may have been kept around with the help of the website votefortheworst.com, but it is Tim who has shown an improvement in his vocals, song choices and confidence. I believe Tim may last longer in this competition than anyone expects.
Lee Dewyze ~ A Little Less Conversation
Lee pushed himself this week with his performance and it worked; Lee has shown improvement since his first performance. He still needs to work on being more loose on stage, still coming across as stiff.
Aaron Kelly ~ Blue Suede Shoes
Aaron has the potential to be really great; he just needs to realize that himself. His confidence wavers and that hurts his performances. Tonight he started off shaky, but had a really nice finish. I think Aaron may be in jeopardy, if he stays he needs to step up his game.
Siobhan Magnus ~ Suspicious Minds
I love this girl!! The problem I had with this performance was that it sounded like two different songs/singers. In the end I feel she did a great job. Simon was a little hard on her tonight, but I loved Siobhan's response to his questioning her identity, "Even I can't pinpoint who or what I am, and I've always taken pride in that." You said it, girlfriend.
Michael Lynche ~ In the Ghetto
In the Ghetto is probably my favorite Elvis song and figured this would be the perfect song for Michael's voice. He did an amazing job; it was soft and sweet. A great story sung beautifully.
Katie Stevens ~ Baby What Do You Want Me To Do
Her performance tonight was awesome; she killed it! Vocally I heard a little country in her voice and thought she sounded a little bit like Carrie Underwood. Little Katie's growing up.
Casey James ~ Lawdy Miss Cloudy
I'll be honest, even through I enjoyed his performance last week, I am not a Casey fan. And this performance didn't help. It was boring and he played it very safe. He needed to take a chance this week and he brought nothing new to the stage.
Side Note: What was up with Ryan tonight? It looked like he found some of Paula's old pills and downed a few before the show.
*************************************************************************************
It's Elimination Night and tonight we lose two Idol hopefuls, so which two do I think will be saying goodbye???
I think Andrew will definitely be one of the two saying goodbye tonight. The other will be tricking, I'm thinking Aaron, Casey, and maybe Siobhan (I hope I am wrong) will round out a bottom three tonight. Let's see how it goes.
Back to business; the first group taking center stage is Casey, Aaron, and Andrew. After a few moments of Ryan rambling on it is confirmed that Andrew is the first to go home tonight. Andrew was a favorite of mine early on, but over the course of the competition I lost interest in him. And did you see Lee's face when Ryan said Andrew was going home?? It looked like someone killed his puppy.
Oh look Brooke White is back and she brought Miley's ex with her....
The remaining six contestants are brought onto the stage and after each is reviewed, Ryan informs Crystal, Siobhan, and Lee that they too are safe leaving Tim, Mike, and Katie to wonder which of them is in jeopardy.
Quick break which brings Adam Lambert back to the Idol stage performing his current single Whataya Want From Me.
The "bottom" three return to the center of the stage and Tim is the first to return the the safety of the couches. Leaving Katie and Mike with Ryan; there is a part of me that kinda wants Mike to get eliminated just as an FU to the judges, but alas little miss Katie will be leaving us tonight. I thought Katie did a great job last night and didn't think she would be saying goodbye just yet.
Next week is the annual Idol Gives Back Charity Event with the theme of Inspirational songs. Prepare to be uplifted next Tuesday.
~ ENVY OUT!!
