American Idol 7 / Week 10 / Results
Oh noes, this week we're only getting a bottom two instead of a bottom three. Oh well, better odds for all of us, I guess.
The kids do a hideous rendition of "All I Ask of You", Seacrest grills ALW with some awful questions, and the Ford commercial is a weird rip-off of the "Take on Me" concept to the song "Tainted Love", and a couple of the kids look really surprisingly good in the goth toughie gear.
Time for Seacrest to play sorting hat, and divvy the kids up. First out are both Davids, who are of course both incredibly safe. Although Seacrest spends about eight years asking them questions and making them wait before they can go sit the hell down on the couch. Seacrest then speaks of the kids left backstage, and we catch Jason Castro in a huge yawn. Ha!
We get a package about former Idols on Broadway. Tamyra is in Rent, Clay Aiken is in Spamalot. And Clay Aiken's hair is just awful.
Now, how about a performance from Simon's discovery, Leona Lewis. I've read about her in the entertainment rags, but I haven't yet heard her sing. 30 seconds is about enough -- not the kind of music I'm interested in listening to, although I guess she does bubblegum pop well enough.
Back to the sorting of the kids! Next out are Syesha and Brooke. After more of the blah-blah, Brooke is told she's safe. Syesha heads over to the stools. We take a commercial break, then get the last two out -- Carly and Jason. More of the blah-blah, and it's Carly to the stools -- Jason is safe.
Our bottom two get to sing their songs again. I've said it before -- if they're the bottom two, do we really want to hear those most unpopular songs again? Carly shrieks her way through "Superstar" again, and Syesha hits way more flat notes with "One Rock and Roll Too Many" than she did the night before. But she injects just as much phony emotion.
Seacrest draws the suspense out a little bit, then reveals that it's Carly going home. Exactly as she's wanted to for the last few weeks.
I'm amazed -- we were mostly leaning toward Brooke and Jason, so it's my ongoing dislike of Carly and Syesha that gave me the top spot for the week!
