American Idol - Who's singing Hit the Road Mack?

Big band week was pretty blah last night. The Rat Pack theme just didn't do it for me and I'm in no mood to watch three guest performances tonight from the likes of former Idol winner, Taylor Hicks, Jamie Foxx and Natalie Cole. So I am racing through the show tonight.

I guess producers thought it would make things more interesting to have Adam pick the group that he thought he belonged to - Danny and Allison (obviously both are safe) or Matt and Kris (the jury is still out on Kris' sudden darkhorse status). Of course, Adam picks Allison and Danny and is quickly corrected by Ryan and physically moved over to the bottom with Matt and Kris. This being reality tv's standout star show I don't doubt for one second that producers rig the bottom three contestants each week. It adds spice after all and keeps us voting and making money for both FOX and AT&T.

After some guest performances, we learn that Kris is safe. I just checked Dial Idol and if they are correct and I know that at this part of the season, it's too close to call using their methods, it should have been down to Matt and Kris, thus, I maintain that this is just a publicity tactic for the show or perhaps Adam already has a recording contract in the works. Personally, I think he should win because he's damn talented but at the same time, I am thinking a non-American Idol related career would be better for him.

Finally the moment of truth and it's a sigh of relief. Matt is hitting the road finally. Can't wait for rock week next Tuesday. Kris and Danny must be shaking in their boots.

American Idol - The Top 5 Goes Rat Pack

This has to be my least favorite week on Idol. Seriously, are any of these kids going to be recording a big band era type cd anytime soon? I am not thinking so. Thus, it is with some kicking and screaming that I am going to watch this week's show. The mentor for the week is Jamie Foxx. I am over the guest mentor thing this season. It really doesn't serve a purpose other than filler for the show and lord knows, the show is packed enough already.

So on with the show. Kris is up first. Many are touting that he will be making it to the finals and I am kind of hoping he gets there versus Danny. He chooses Fred Astaire's version of The Way You Look Tonight and does it well but nothing wow in the least. If there is any advice that Kris needs to listen to is to get some confidence and fast. Remember he's the same guy who more often than not assumed he was in the bottom each week early in the competition and I think he really needs to step it up on the personality and confidence levels to really make it much further/

Allison is up next and with her husky raspy voice she can nail this. She chooses the Gershwin Brothers' classic, Someone to Watch Over Me and sure enough she's fantastic. I know that there is buzz that Allison isn't a favorite for the finals but I just don't get it. Sure, she's not the cute little skinny blond sterotype pop strar but honestly, does the world need another one of those??? I really hope she makes it to Kodak night. She deserves it and either way, she will have a recording contract long before she becomes an adult, that's for certain.

Matt opted for Rodgers and Hart's My Funny Valentine. He really was just blah tonight. I have nothing more really to say about his performance other than he didn't deserve the save a few weeks ago. With any luck, him or Danny are going home tomorrow night and he didn't score any points with me when he got all cocky after Kara's critique.

Danny's up with Arlen and Mercer's Come Rain or Come Shine. I have learned that I can tolerate Danny if I take my eyes away from the tv screen. He still irks the hell out of me. If he wins this, he will most definitely be releasing a Christian soft rock album, which will be boring as all hell. I will admit that he has a great soul quality to his voice but remember avert your eyes.

Adam closes the show with Feelin' Good by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse. And of course, he changes things up and makes it his own. Sure he could have donned a fedora like Matt and just done a jazzy little number but this is Adam we are talking about. He took it to a burlesque level and made it more theatrical with an edge. Sure not everyone's cup of tea, but this boy knows what he needs to do to win it and brings it every week.

Predictions for tomorrow: Matt goes home and I think he will be joined at the silver chairs by Kris. Sorry but it's the end of the show and I can't tell you one thing about Kris' performance other than it didn't suck.

So what sayeth you?

American Idol - And then there were five

Last night proved to be one of the more memorable nights in a long time on American Idol. Almost everybody made great song choices and made them there own. Alas, that was where enjoying disco week ended though. Paula got a hold of the kids this week and choreographed one of the worst opening group medleys ever. Damn my DVR being extra busy tonight!!!! It had nothing to do with the dancing, more of the song choice, exaggerated mannerism, horrible costumes. I guess they are getting us ready for So You Think You Can Dance.

Now on to the results (I will not even comment on the Ford commercial.) Ryan gets down to business and Lil is, as predicted, is gone this week. I love that they didn't make her wait the whole hour. Even though we didn't have any mentors or special guests last night, they sure as hell made up for it tonight with a whole host of disco superstars that I am sure eighty percent of the audience wouldn't recognize if they were sat right next to them.

Back to the results, Prince Kris is safe tonight and rightly so. He was really fantastic last night. If he keeps this up, I am thinking Danny might just not make the final three which would make me very happy. King Adam is up next and looking very Elvis circa 1969 live special, is safe. Danny is proclaimed safe after a very cocky Q+A session with Ryan. I am really hoping he is either booted off the show completely or at least winds up in the bottom three soon so he can wipe that smug smile off his face. Anoop, as expected, is in the bottom yet again. How many times has been there this season? I wonder if the judges regret keeping him in the wild card round.

It's between Matt and Allison. Matt should be sitting next to Anoop but it's my girl, Allison who is led to the silver stool. I know a lot of people just don't care for her, which I just don't understand but I think she will be safe and this is just a little curveball to throw us off the scent. Seriously, Matt should not have been saved last week and should be right there with Anoop but as I said before it has to be the end of the line for Mr. Desai. Of course, we will have to wait another eighteen minutes before all being revealed.

David Archuleta is paying the Idol stage a visit. In my opinion, he still sucks and reminded us all why he didn't win last season. The boy's voice was reminiscent of Peter Brady when they decided to record "When It's Time to Change." Absolutely awful!

And I was right, Anoop is finally gone. Now if we can just get Danny and Matt out, we will have an amazing top three.

American Idol - The Top 7 Visit the 70s

I know most people dread disco week on American Idol but I really don't mind it. Anything beats big band week. Remember those from the early seasons. As we all can recall, the judges used the save last week on Matt. Completely inane if you ask me. What a waste despite the fact that he didn't deserve to get the boot either. So tomorrow night there will be two going home and with it being disco night, this might just not be a good thing for some. So let's get to shaking our groove thing as the top seven take on the seventies.

Lil Rounds opens the show with Chaka Khan's iconic classic, "I'm Every Woman." Unless she makes it something spectacular, I am thinking Lil's time is up and from the start she's all over the place. How very disappointing because I had high hopes for Lil in the beginning but she just never brought anything really remarkable to any of her performances.

Kris breaks from the theme in my opinion when he chooses Donna Summer's "She Works Hard for the Money." He definitely made it his with what felt like a beach side resort type arrangement but it worked. Kudos, Kris.

Danny picks Earth Wind and Fire's "September" and looks to be in a dancing mood (god, help us!) It feels safe and cruise ship worthy. Of course, I still don't think he will be booted off the show yet, but it would be refreshing to see him sweat a little bit and be in the bottom three just once.

Allison is a genius with a rocker version of Donna Summer's "Hot Stuff." And just to be cliche, she was on fire! Absolutely brilliant and is right there with Adam's Mad World a few weeks ago as the top performances of the season. Randy and Kara, who has no reason to be brought back next season, must be deaf to make the criticisms that they made.

I would have loved if Adam had come out in full drag and done an Abba or Gloria Gaynor number but he opted for the young Elvis look again tonight and went for an acoustic arrangement of Yvonne Elliman's If I Can't Have You. Another awesome performance from my boy! He really can do no wrong.

Matt -\picks the quintessential disco anthem of the Bee Gee's Staying Alive. He did nothing to make it his own. Sure he has that Justin Timberlake soulfulness that makes his performance watchable but not memorable this week. A definite disappointment after the judges saved him last week.

Anoop closes the night with Donna Summer's Dim All The Lights and frankly, I am hoping that they dim the lights on him. Boring, safe and bland. My last wish for this season's Idol could finally come true and we will see the end of Anoop tomorrow.

Well, it's starting to get a bit repetitive over here at our predictions each week. Queen Allison and King Adam are the winners again tonight and I will add Prince Kris to the mix because his arrangement really was that good. Lil and hopefully Anoop will be gone tomorrow night. It's way too close to tell over at Dial Idol and Vote for the Worst is still backing Lil, so it really could be anyone's guess tomorrow.

American Idol - What the hell just happened?

I'm really not sure how tonight's results show is going to go. Sure, I know it's going to run over an hour because the producers are trying to cram too much garbage into an hour but who will stay, who will go and will the judges use the coveted save? With any luck, Anoop will be gone tonight and we can continue watching the show with a little less boredom.

There's a whole host of special guests tonight: Quentin Tarantino returns, Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson will be performing and that chick from Hannah Montana, Miley Cyrus will be there too. But irregardless to all that, who is going home tonight and will the save be used. It's too close to call over on Dial Idol this week so I don't really have any idea who will be in the bottom three tonight but I think it will be Anoop, Lil and maybe Kris or Matt. Did you know after Kris' performance of that song from Once, the movie's soundtrack has just made leaps and bounds on the Top Download Charts on iTunes. The power of American Idol is, indeed, in full force.

Allison and Adam are quickly told they are safe. At least, they aren't creating pathetic dramatic suspense by keeping them until the end. It's pretty obvious these two aren't going anywhere any time soon. Anoop is the first to go to the dreaded silver chair which he is all too familiar with. I'm thinking an unfortunate camerman or producer might just get the axe after panning over to Randy yawning when Anoop's performance was being critiqued. Look Randy, you guys brought him back so don't go blaming the ennui that Anoop creates on us, the viewing public!

After the return of Jennifer Hudson to the Idol stage, it's between Kris and Lil. And sure enough, it's Lil in the bottom three. I still maintain that she hasn't shown us what she really has and needs to step it up and fast! Last but not least, it's a showdown between Danny and Matt. This could go either way and I would love to see Danny in the bottom three but I don't think that is ever going to happen. And I am right, Matt is in the bottom.

Ryan just sent Anoop back to the couch. WTF!!!!! This has to be a mistake, right? He can't really be better than Matt??? I was so not expecting this. Wow! Well, I guess it has to be Lil going home but then again she has Vote for the Worst campaigning to keep her and Matt has been in the bottom before. Of course, we won't find out for another twenty minutes or more thanks to Miley Cyrus' performance.

The moment of reckoning is upon us. Will it be Matt or Lil? And Ryan informs us that Matt is going home but apparently the judges have other plans and are going to institute the save. WOW! First, Anoop is pronounced safe and then Simon tells us that Matt is receiving the judges' save. Not sure if producers had a hand in making it look like the judges were not all in agreement with this grandiose gesture but nonetheless, this season's twist is over. I'm not sure I really liked that it was used tonight. Ryan tells us that next week is Disco Week so I can kind of see how the judges might think that Matt will leave a soulful mark on next week's show. Of course, this now means that next Wednesday, two people will be going home. Hopefully, Anoop's time will be over soon.

So as we sit and analyze all of this, we would love to hear what you thought of tonight's eventful show. Were they right to use the save? How was Anoop spared? Should Lil have gone home instead??? So many questions....

American Idol - The Top 7 go to the Cinema

American Idol does movie night and who other to act as mentor than Quentin Tarantino, the master of film soundtracks. This could prove to be a very interesting night. We are still rejoicing over last week's results show that saw Scott leave the competition, once and for all. With any luck, tomorrow night it will be Anoop bidding us adieu. I am also hoping that the show doesn't run over again this week. It's getting very boring that the producers can't control the time of the show. I'm not a Fringe fan, in the least, but I think it sucks that for no legitimate reason whatsoever Idol is running over by more than five minutes each week. Cut the filler out and get to the performances.


Allison brilliantly opens the show with Aerosmith's I Don't Want to Miss A Thing. For the first or perhaps the second time this season, I am going to say this wasn't her best performance. She seemed to be too breathy and just lacking something but still is one of my favorites to win the competition and if for some weird reason, she lands herself at the bottom tomorrow night, the judges will, indeed, save her.

Anoop picks Bryan Adams' Everything Thing I Do, one of the most boring movie theme tunes ever and he does what he does best and delivers yet another forgettable performance. He can sing but there's just nothing about him that makes him stand out in the least.

Adam goes into the vaults and picks Born to Be Wild by Steppenwolf. The boy just does no wrong. I know I rave about him a lot and he's not everyone's cup of tea, but he has the total package. I am just wondering if he would do better if he didn't win the whole competition. Look at Jennifer Hudson, she didn't win and she now has an Oscar.

Matt picks one of my least favorite songs ever, Bryan Adams' Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman. I'm starting to think Bryan should have been the special guest tonight since almost a third of the contestants are opting for his songs. Matt takes to the piano again and it's okay. He seemed to get a bit of his Timberlake take on it but it by no means stands out.

Danny sans glasses this week (not sure if that will help or hurt his image) goes for yet another song aced in sentimentality, Lionel Richie's Endless Love complete with harp accompaniment. It feels more like an endless song than love. He's a good singer and has a personality but this was just boring but I am sure he won't be in any danger tonight.

Kris, who some say could just make it to the final at the Kodak, goes for one of the most obscure song choices that I think I have ever seen on my eight years of watching this show. He picks Falling Slowly by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova. The song won the Oscar for Best Song for the film Once. I was not a fan of the film. In fact, I turned it off after about twenty minutes. I am thinking this might hurt him tomorrow night. I guess he did well but not being familiar with the song at all, I have no idea. It seemed to come from the heart and was on pitch but didn't make me sit up and take notice.

Lil closes the show Bette Midler's The Rose. She had the gospel feel to make it her own but her voice just wasn't there tonight and once again lacked that wow factor. I hate to say it but she might be going home.

Our predictions for tomorrow night:

King and Queen of Carpal Tunnel Worthiness remain to be Adam and Allison.

Throw some votes Kris and Matt's ways.

Who will be going home? It's a toss up between Anoop for just being boring and cocky and Lil. She just hasn't found her calling yet and I am afraid it's a little too late but since she has Vote for the Worst behind her, she might just eke by.

So, I turn it over to you, who should stay? Who should go? What did you think?

ANTM - The Half Way Mark

Why do I keep watching America's Next Top Model? Honestly, these girls are nowhere near ready to be any form of model apart from maybe a glove model and even that would be pushing it, what with their being a right and a left glove to put on.

I usually have a favorite by now but this season is just ludicrous. I know it seems to be a trend to include some form of disabled person on reality shows this season - case in point: Scott on American Idol and Luke over on the Amazing Race but a burn victim on Top Model, what are they thinking??? No, I'm not an uber bitch who thinks that the modeling world has no place for imperfections. Top Chef's Padma Lakshmi is proof that scars do not mean you can't be a successful model. But Tahlia on ANTM was just inane. I would understand if she had a model's body but he girl needs to lose about twenty pounds to even start thinking she might get some jobs. She is photogenic which is a good thing but her utter lack of confidence is irritating. The fact that a few weeks ago, she bitched and moaned that she didn't know if she really wanted to be on the show and then backpeddled when Celia called her out at panel just further showed me that she just has no backbone.

Of the ones who are left, I am not really liking any of them. I liked London at first until she showed off her in your face preaching style. And, does she not know the first thing about being a model. Thy shall not stuff thy face. The girl is seriously packing on the pounds these days and people are talking. I think Celia will go far. Her weird crosseyed look does wig me out a bit but she exudes personal style and the true makings of a high fashion model. I also was backing Allison at first. She has the whole Twiggy thing going on for her but has no idea how to use it which is said because she could go far if she would just stop looking like a deer in the headlights all the time. Natalie is a pretty girl but she needs to get her head out of her own ass and fast. How freaking conceited is she? I hate to admit it but she is the epitome of the type of California girl who gives the rest of us a bad reputation. Fo might just make it to the top three or four. There is something fresh about her look but she needs to quit with the constant tears. Models don't cry! Teyona and Aminat just do nothing for me.

I'm just about ready to give up watching Top Model and with the announcement that next season will be only casting girls 5'7" and under my mind is about 99% made up. It is just the stupidest thing I have ever heard of. Sure Kate Moss is a supermodel and is considered short in the industry but for Tyra to fool thousands of girls into thinking that they are garner even a tenth of Ms. Moss' success is just down right mean.

American Idol - Will there be dancing in the streets

It's results night and per Dial Idol, Kris, is to undeservedly go home tonight with Anoop and Scott behind him. Here's hoping that DI is wrong this week because I have had enough of Anoop aka Cocky Idol and I am beyond over Scott who is on par in the boredom department as Jason Castro from last year.

We sift through all the usual rigmarole ~ Ryan making lame jokes, Ford commercials, the desecration of Kylie Minogue's Can't Get You Out of My Head, which they appeared to be actually singing live this week and it definitely showed who the pros are and who are just filler for the next few weeks.

The first three to face the music are King Adam, Kris and Anoop. Well, no question about it Adam is safe but what about Dial Idol's prediction about Kris (fingers, eyes and toes are crossed that they are wrong) and the answer is SAFE!!! YES!!!! There's hope that Scott may really go home this week!!! Anoop is the first to be led to the silver chairs and rightly so too. I wouldn't be shocked if he goes home tonight instead of the Boring One. I would be content with that.

Rounding out the male contingent, Danny is proclaimed safe, leaving it down to Matt and Scott. I don't get why Matt was ever in the bottom a few weeks ago. He's not really my cup of tea but he's talented and has a certain panache about himself. And Matt is safe and Scott is in the bottom with Anoop. Fan-freaking-tastic!!!!! Looks like I might get my wish after all tonight.

Now Ryan moves over to the girls, Allison is safe. I never doubted that one even though it was most definitely not her strongest performance last night. Lil is in the bottom with the others. I am thinking she won't be down there for much longer but first more commercials and a performance from former contestant Kellie Pickler. I actually really liked Kellie. Sure, she's a total bimbo but it's genuine naivety which makes her palatable.

Lil is sent back to the couch. It's down to my least favorites. Either way, it's a good thing. According to Ryan, the vote was only separated by 30,000 votes and the one going home tonight is..... SCOTT!!!! WOO HOO!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!! Sorry, Scott, you are talented but you just don't have a personality. It's nothing personal. And that had to be his little sister in the audience with the neon green top and glasses. She reminded me of a cross between the evil little twins from The Shining
and Rhoda from The Bad Seed


Well, there you have it. I'm off to go dance in the streets now.

This Just In: Reality TV hits the motherload

I just read the news that Fox gave the greenlight on the most genius reality show ever! In this recession/depression era that we, unfortunately, are going through right now, what better else than a reality show entitled, Someone's Gotta Go. The concept of the show is that there is an employee that everyone in an office dislikes but to make it even better, the office manager will disclose to all of the office how much each person makes and they will then examine and have meetings to determine who is worth their wages and who isn't. I can't wait to hear the tag line for this show. It is scheduled to air some time this summer.

WTF - Fringe, Who Writes This Crap

I am not a big science fiction fan for the most part which is weird because as a kid I was Stars Wars mad! I was only about 5 when it came out and I demanded to see it in the theater at least 4 successful times. I had all the paraphernalia. Damn, my parents for giving it away without asking! So every once in awhile, I will see a show or film of that genre that peaks my interest slightly like Doctor Who but that could also be because David Tennant is gorgeous but I digress.

Fringe, I thought, was going to be one of those shows. I watched the first two episodes and it was laughable to say the very least. The whole hodge podge of every fictional monster in the span of sixty minutes was just too much to swallow. But tonight, I had misplaced the remote and thought since it was its season return, I would give it one last chance.

What a freaking mistake!!! This is tripe at its best!!! Lines like "Don't you know what a penis looks like" in a mad European accent made my skin crawl. The bad writing and acting should result in SAG and WGA revoking these people's union cards. If anyone over at Fox is laid off because of lack of funds, they can blame this show for wasting the company's money.

I gave up watching once I saw the weird vampire looking kid having his head hooked up to some machine, while the crazy scientist jived along to Al Green and that's only because I was jealous. I would love to have some machine right now to eradicate any memory of this garbage.

American Idol - The Top 8 do the 80's

It says something when the oldest contestant this year was born in 1980. I have shoes older than that!!!! This week's theme on our beloved, American Idol, is for the top 8 to sing a song from the year they are born, thus, it's 80's night for the most part. Woo hoo!!!


First up, Danny with Ben E. King's Stand By Me. I hate when contestants do this. This is not a song from the year you were born, Mr. Gokey. Sure it happened to be covered in 1980 but I think that shouldn't be allowed and was a cop out. If I didn't already dislike him, I most definitely would after tonight. I must have done something to the volume because I certainly didn't hear what the judges did. He was AWFUL!!! The first part of that song, I swear he was singing through his nose. I, daresay, he will be safe tomorrow night but that's just because Scott and Anoop are still in the competition.

Kris, born in 1985, chooses Don Henley's All She Wants to Do is Dance. Interesting choice. He opts to do his performance on a small stage surrounded by adoring fans, which wasn't too wise because you can hardly see him stand out of the crowd. Unfortunately, he sucks. I don't know whether to blame the weird arrangement or just his lack of charisma. He's still cute though so that might just save him but seriously, if Kris and Danny are any indication of how the rest of the show is going to go, this is going to be a major train wreck!

Lil Rounds picks from 1984 Tina Turner's What's Love Got to do With It. She had better bring it but I am not holding my breath. The girl can sing but just doesn't wow me enough like Fantasia did all those seasons ago. It feels more like one of those tribute shows you would see in Las Vegas or Atlantic City. Note to contestants, any time Paula says you look good, you know she didn't like your performance.

Anoop goes with a crowd favorite (not one of mine though) from 1986 with Cyndi Lauper's True Colors another boring song choice from him. Can someone remind me why the judges brought him back during the early rounds???? He's absolutely dull!!!! He has to be in the bottom two tomorrow night.

Scott for once is not behind a piano this week but behind a guitar!!! He takes on 1985's The Search is Over by Survivor. I can't say I remember this song at all. Apart from Eye of the Tiger, I can't name another Survivor song. It's cringe worthy to say the very least!!! His little rocker moves are hysterically bad and that attempt at a high note was pathetic. I think the moment I have been waiting for has finally come and we will be MacIntyre free next week and after that asinine comment about being in his punk rock mode, he has to go tomorrow.

Allison who was only just born in 1992 (1992?!?!? I feel so old all of a sudden) makes the brilliant decision to take on Bonnie Raitt's I Can't Make you Love Me. Sure, it's a bit old for this young little thing to be singing but she nails it with ease. I will say this wasn't her best performance but as of right now she is hands down the best of the night. And can I just say, I absolutely loved that skirt!!! If anyone knows where to get it, let me know.

Another 1985 baby, Matt, chooses what should be the perfect song choice for himself, Stevie Wonder's Part Time Lover. I never liked this song but I think he will do it justice and I would be correct in assuming this. Another Justin Timberlake inspired performance but he has the whole package and I think he needed this performance to regain some of his fanbase. Good job, Matt.

Adam, who had so many brilliant songs to choose from especially since he was born in 1982 goes with a very interesting song choice, Tears for Fears' Mad World. This song found fame especially in the UK when it was covered by Jules in 2002. As you can tell, I love this song and it has profound meaning for me so I might be a little biased but this absolutely genius!!! My boy has to win this competition. Adam, I once again proclaim you King of Carpal Tunnel!!! Speechless....

So my thoughts this week:

King and Queen of Carpal Tunnel Worthiness are Adam and Allison

Who can go home once and for all??? SCOTT!!!!! Join the Facebook group, Scott MacIntyre Needs to Go and let's see it happen sooner rather than later and as he is Vote for the Worst's favorite, please don't listen to their pleas. Throw your votes Anoop's way or Kris' just don't even think of voting for Scott.

American Idol - Whose time is up

Well, last night's show was a bit ho hum. The usual suspects sucked and should be in the bottom three tonight while the good ones remained at the top despite the judges fashion critique of Allison which was completely uncalled for. Tonight we have performances from David Cook and Lady Gaga. I hear that Scott's favorite thing of the show is filming the stupid Ford commercial. Please count this as reason 827 for why he should have been kicked off of the show weeks ago! What a wanker!!!!

After what must have been an eternity for the live viewers out there, the contestants are split into three groups and it looks at least to me that one in each group will be in the bottom three. Per Dial Idol, it should be Megan, Anoop and Allison with Megan going home. Let's see if they are right. The first group to be called are Megan, Kris and Matt. Easy it has to be Megan. The next are Adam, Lil and Allison. OK out of the group I would pick Lil because she is just not wowing me enough. The last trio to be called are Anoop, Scott and Danny. Tough call between Scott and Anoop but I am going to say Mr. Cocky Idol will be the one called.

Well, after David Cook performs we finally find out that Megan is, indeed, in the bottom three and takes it all with a grain of salt but there was absolutely no need to do that chicken dance of yours. Next, Allison is brought into the bottom. I still maintain that this is part of the producers' plot to use the save if it happens tonight. And finally, Anoop is brought down. Turns out Dial Idol was right. Of course, we need to wade through Lady Gaga's performance to find out who is going home and it's Megan! Simon even says straight off the bat that they aren't even going to consider using the save tonight. She takes it for what it's worth and goes all out with her swan song.

So are you happy that the tattooed one is finally gone??? Who would you have rather seen?? Be prepared for 80's week next week as the theme is songs from the year you were born. Cue the spandex, neon and big hair!
