American Idol - Season 7 - Top 6 Results
Greetings Idol Fans!
Well we’re half way through the big show journey to our next American Idol. The Top 6 performed last night but only the Top 5 will survive. Ooooh, that sort of sounds like one of those wrestling cage matches. Dude, I would soooo pay to see David Archuleta catapulted from the stage by John Cena.
I have to admit, I like this starting the show with group number… it gets it out of the way. The kids do their ensemble number “All I Ask Of You” accompanied by the Lord Andrew, himself. Thankfully it lacked all the Busch Gardens show cheese, and just focused on the song.
So we recap the performances and then Ryan welcomes ALW to the stage for a little one-on-one interview time. They talk about the Brooke debacle and Jason’s most unusual song choice. He keeps it encouraging. The guy is gifted and gracious. See, Simon, Brits can be nice!
I’ve been tricked!!! I have come accustom to dreading the first commercial break but they slipped it in on me after the second break! Cheeky Idol producers. It’s Ford commercial time! The kids do a creepy cover of “Tainted Love” with scary makeup and freaky outfits. I think Brooke’s head is being swallowed by a renegade Dolly Parton wig.
And now a word from our leader. No not Nigel Lithgow… President and First Lady Bush! They bring up Idol Gives Back and want to donate 60-some million dollars. I assume he wants us to donate it… I doubt it would actually come from the oil companies.
Well we’re now down to point where I must retire the words, “Bottom 3.” But fear not my Blather followers, I now introduce for the first time this season… “BOTTOM 2.” Don’t worry, Merriam Webster’s has my adjective request for this one too. 
On to the results!
Ryan calls David Cook and Archuleta to center stage. OMG, can they put muzzles on all the teenie boppers screaming like hormonal banshees. Yes, he’s little, yes he can sing, yes he’s a huge dork but CLAM IT! Once the pods of pre-pubescence calm down, Ryan wastes a few minutes and prolongs the suspense by asking the Davids a few questions. They ramble on…I wonder what I’m going to wear tomorrow…and then Ryan sends them to the safe couch.
Since this was a week of musical theater, we check in with some former Idols who have been on the Great White Way. Diana DeGarmo was in Hair Spray (she’s now at the 7 11 in Decatur) Fantasia was in The Color Purple (when she actually showed up,) Lakesha Jones is in it now, Tamyra Gray is in Rent (well just until September) and Clay Aiken is in Spamalot (yeah, uh, I’m rushing out for tickets on that one.) <Read sarcastic tone here>
It’s performance time. The guest tonight is evidently a creation of Simon’s. He toots his own horn about how she’s the biggest thing right now and how he discovered her and how ENORMOUS his ego is. It’s only when they introduce her that I realize who Leona Lewis is. She performs her hit single”Bleeding Love.” (Love that song!) The girl sounded amazing and wasn’t even lip synching! No wonder Simon is so proud. She’s so good they even giver her flames on stage. Wow, even Mariah didn’t get any pyro.
Back to the results.
Syesha and Brooke are next pair to come out on stage. Brooke looks down right certifiable. Ryan gets them to ramble on a bit. Brooke is safe. Syesha is our first “Bottom 2.”
After the break, Carly and Jason join Ryan on the stage. They ramble again. Ryan is really good at wasting time. I never realized it before, must be all the days spent waiting for his highlights to take. Oh anyway, Jason is safe and Carly rounds out our “Bottom 2.”
OK so I am TOTALLY not hearing what other people are hearing. I know someone who had a good night would have to end up here, but definitely not these two. It’s official… Jason is now my Sanjaya albatross.
The girls get to sing one more time and prove that America is obviously smoking a really bad crack. Carly sings and rocks the shroud off again on “Jesus Christ Superstar.” The girl undoubtedly has pipes. Syesha sings and even though she’s sassy, she almost feels resigned. I guess after being in the Bottom 3 almost every week, the girl just doesn’t know what to do make America love her. Not to worry too much Syesha, evidently you had enough love to last yet another week.
Carly, is leaving us tonight.
Huh, I don’t know what to say. We knew someone had to go but I’m not sure I was ready for Carly to go just yet. But alas… farewell Irish lass, farewell! You had the look, the pipes, and the Idol producers to get you on the show. Unfortunately, the 300 people who bought your album the first time, just couldn’t keep you on the show any longer.
We name our Top 4 next week!
Peace, Love & Show Tunes,
Kristi
I think this is the WORST season of Idol EVER. I knew it was going to be full of crap with the first vote off. They are CLEARLY eliminating all the people with talent. The final five SHOULD HAVE BEEN the first girl voted off, carly, david, that rocker boy that’s on now and the one that was kicked off earlier.
okay, change that last one to the cook girl. she was pretty good. the only reason brooke is still here is….I can’t even think of a reason. America is on meth.
