The beginning of the show was the usual: review of last week; interview with people on the street; etc. Then they announced that Idol Tour Tickets go on sale May 19. After that, Pink sang “Who Knew” (personally, I don’t like this year’s trend of having singers on who had nothing to do with the show, but I guess someone likes it).
After the break, the Ford commercial was “You Really Got Me”. The group performance was a medley of Barry Gibb songs, including “Emotion” and “Too Much Heaven”. There was a preview of the new Fantastic Four movie (we have some old Silver Surfer comics around here, I think— anybody interested in buying them?— shhh! don’t tell my husband that I’m trying to get rid of them), and the cast of the movie was on American Idol, including Jessica Alba.
There was a nice little montage of the backgrounds of the Final Four. Can you guess which one wasn’t a trouble maker in school? I thought it was interesting that three of them were only children.
Finally, it was time for the results. Jordin was allowed to sit first. The others had a long wait.
Ryan announced that American Idol is looking for groups for an American Idol Band competition. If you know someone who would like to audition, the should send a demo to The Band Show Casting 8391 Beverly Blvd. PMB #464 Los Angeles, CA 90048.
After Barry Gibb performed “To Love Somebody” and another commercial break, it was on to the final results. Melinda was safe, leaving Blake and LaKisha. Blake was safe, LaKisha will be going home.
Next week, all three of the finalists will be going home, as well, for the home visit week. Then they should be singing songs picked by the judges and Clive Davis, if past years are any indication.
