It is rare to enter into an American Idol results show knowing exactly who the bottom three are going to be. But, that is the case this evening, as there is a 99.9% chance that Megan Corkrey, Scott MacIntyre and Michael Sarver will comprise the lowest segment of the American Idol totem pole. However, out of those three, it is completely up in the air for who is going home. After predicting Michael Sarver to be eliminated for most of the day, I changed my mind a few hours ago just in time to change my American Idol Fantasy TV picks. Now, I'm predicting Scott MacIntyre to take that long, lonely road out of Hollywood. Ultimately, it was the pink pants that put him over the edge. Smokey Robinson will be performing on the Idol stage tonight, along with former American Idol champion Ruben Studdard. So, that's something. And, as always, I will be here throughout the show, updating live, sharing my inane opinions and complaining about the lip-synced group songs. Screw the NCAA Tournament. It's American Idol. Read along, comment your faces off and have a good time.
We kick off the episode with a Smokey Robinson voice-over, and go into a montage of last night's events scored to some super dramatic orchestral music. Seacrest says, "Now, it's time to face the music." Oh, Cresty and his puns. What a joker.
(Oscar dances to the Idol techno theme while drinking Diet Dr. Pepper.)
The crowd screams for Seacrest. The results are in. 36 million votes were cast last night. It's the most votes any top 10 has ever received. Hooray. Ruben Studdard will perform. Smokey Robinson will sing a duet with Joss Stone (where has she been lately?). And, Stevie Wonder is in the house to sing a Motown medley. Huh, that's news to me. Simon's wearing a white T, and gets booed by his fellow judges after getting announced.
Ryan asks Simon about his dinner joke about Obama he made on the Tonight Show. It was a joke. I'm glad we cleared that up. Or, I couldn't care less. It's the long video of last night's performances. Five really good performances, two OK ones, three bad ones.
The Top 10 get ready for their group performance. It's starts with the the girls singing “Set Me Free.” And, yeah, they're definitely lip-syncing. It's intercut with black and white Motown footage. Next, it's “You're All I Need,” with the entire Top 10. It's a great song to lip-sync to. I know, because I've been known to mouth the words in front of my mirror on particularly lonely nights. “Ain't No Mountain High Enough” goes next, and it's really cheesy, the Top 10 standing in a pyramid formation. Thankfully, we then cut to commercial.
American Idol was for Fantasia, Ruben Studdard, and George Huff what the Apollo Theater of Harlem was to Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Gladys Knight and others. At 16, Ella made her singing debut at the Apollo Theatre in 1934. That debut made both Ella and the Apollo famous.
