Tonight was slightly less tedious than usual for a results show. The show seemed to flow a little bit better, for some reason. The show started with the contestants singing “Right Back Where We Started From”. Then there was a information piece/advertisement for the ITunes downloads. It was interesting to discover that those downloads are for full-length songs, instead of the 90 seconds we hear on the show.
After the highlights from last night, we got down to the eliminations. Chikezie was out first, and he was in the bottom three. Brooke was safe. Carly (who revealed that, contrary to recent news reports, she is not pregnant) was safe as well.
After the commercial break, we saw the Ford commercial. This week’s song was “I Want You to Want Me”, and the commercial was actually kind of interesting. I’ll post it tomorrow.
Back to the elimination. David A.— safe. David Cook found out that Chris Cornell loved his performance and that he was safe. Michael Johns found out that he was safe, as well.
Then we took phone calls. Interesting info… Chikezie is single, Simon really does consider himself the most attractive person on the show, and if Brook White could choose whoever she wanted to sing a duet with, she would choose John Mayer.
Kimberly Locke was back, filling us in on her new album, her new restaurant and her weight loss. Oh, yeah, and she sang. “Fall” is off of her new album. It was okay. Not really the kind of music I enjoy listening to for hours but alright.
After another ad for “Idol Gives Back”, we finally finished out the bottom three. Ramiele was safe (that was a bit surprising, but not completely). That left Jason Castro and Kristy Lee Cook. I figured this probably meant Kristy Lee Cook was safe because, otherwise, it was just too predictable. I was right, and Jason finished out the bottom three. Of course, he was immediately told he was safe, leaving Chikezie and Syesha to fight it out for who would go home. In the end, we said goodbye to Chikezie. While it wasn’t really surprising, I will miss his personality. At least, he was usually fun— even if his ballads were a bit boring.
What do you think? Did America get it right?
