Week One: The Results

Tense music plays . . . it must be an Idol results show.

Take nothing for granted . . .

THIS is American Idol!

Responses from the judges . . .

And a review of this week’s 12 and their journey

Oh hell yeah . . . we gets a little Idol group number . . . Oh the cheesetastic wonderment of it all . . .
They are singing one of my favorite songs, Jason Mraz’s I’m Yours. . . . pretty good . . . pretty good. Where was Stevie’s voice last night?

And we’re back!

Ryan leads us into highlights of the “very raw show” . . .

Who gave you hope America?

Let’s talk to the contestants . . . Question . . . Does Tatianna go in and out of that accent? Just a question.

Dim the lights, yo. Here we go.

Casey Carlson is up first . . . America voted and she is NOT in the Top 12.

Steven Fowler is up next . . . America voted and he is NOT in the Top 12.

Alexis is up next . . . here is our first real contender for the Top 12 . . . America voted and she IS IN THE TOP 12!

Here comes Ricky and Jackie . . . This is the first time they’ve brought two up at the same time . . . Also, they are clearly not going to tell us what order people are voting in . . . Ricky is NOT in the Top 12 . . . Jackie is NOT in the Top 12.

Here comes Anoop and Michael . . . I think this is the battle for that third spot. Michael IS IN THE TOP 12 and Anoop Dogg is “going home” . . . but not really.

Side Note: I think Michael sang better tonight than last.
Side Note 2: Michael beat out Anoop by 20,000 votes out of 24 million cast.

They still have 5 left to go . . . those who are not Danny must be really nervous and pissed off.

A little advert for the American Idol experience . . .

And yay to Michael Johns and Carly Smithson! Hooray! Carly had to find a weave in Orlando . . . I wonder if Ryan gave her some advice. They are singing “The Letter” . . . that was sooooo good at last year’s finale. Oh yes, The Hotness and Ms. Smithson are BACK!

We’re back . . . AnnMarie stands up and stays where she is . . . Brent stands up and stays where he is . . . you’re getting the point here . . . Stevie joins the other two . . . After the vote, NONE of these three made the Top 12.

Bring down Danny and Tatianna . . . Glasses and the drama queen . . . Here we go . . . Drama is crying and Danny’s glasses are somewhat distracting . . . America voted . . . and Danny is THROUGH TO THE TOP 12! Tatianna is headed back to the crib.

And there you have it America . . . Alexis, Michael, and Danny are through to the Top 12.

I think that Tatianna, Ricky, and Anoop could very easily be in the Wild Card Round.

Next week were on Wednesday and Thursday! What did y’all think?!
