The Idol Who is Movin' Out

Here we are, another elimination episode... there are TEN, but in a little while, there will be NINE.  They took on Billy Joel, and some rose (E-Test, Colton), and some fell (Hee Jun! (he'll take a sad song and make it better), Hollie Cav) and some just continually suck it up (DeAndrea Crappensuck).

THIS IS

AMERICAN

IDOL

where only the least popular Idols die young...

J-Lo walks out in a very, very pink dress. 

Me: You can see that from space
The Lovely Steph Leann:  She's wearing a pink highlighter.

Seacrusty tells us that the group song is "The Longest Time", and The Lovely Steph Leann whines, "nooo... they are going to make it bad!"  This might be the first group song I've heard in about four seasons.

By the way, how can you not snap your fingers when you hear this tune?  To be honest, its not a bad version, mostly because the song itself is acapella anyway.  Still, I usually fast forward through these on general principal.

The Ford Music Video... fast forward

Commercial Break... fast forward

And we're back... Seacrusty says that the ten remaining already are going on tour, but the Top Nine moves in the Idol Hollywood mansion.

He then calls down Hollie Cav... Little Skylar Laine... and Elise Testosterone.  E-Test just hangs her head, with a comical sigh.  Jimmy Iovine says he was worried about Hollie Cav, and felt that Little Skylar Laine took a step back.  About E-Test, he said he basically loved it.

Dim the lights... here we go.  After the nationwide vote, America says Hollie Cav is safe.  Then he says, "The one moving into the Hollywood mansion is Little Skylar Laine..." then says, "And Elise Testostorone is safe too."  Oh, Seacrusty!  You faker!

Commerical break... fast forward

Random comment from The Lovely Steph Leann... "I just want Creepy Uncle Steven Tyler to wear like, the next size up, on his pants."

And outta nowhere, he comes Aerosmith lead guitarist Joe Perry, to help lead a "Happy Birthday" to Creepy Uncle Steven.  Am I a nerd because I not only notice that "Happy Birthday" is written in Comic Sans, but that I'm also bothered by it?  

I tell The Lovely Steph Leann that Joe Perry is from Aerosmith, and she says, "I know, I have been on Rock'n Roller Coaster!"

Now, Seacrusty tells us that DeAndre Crappensuck, Joshua Ledet and J-Sanch are next.  Jimmy Iovine says he told DeAndre to bounce, but not go out and frolic, like he did.  Jimmy Iovine liked Joshua, and loved J-Sanch.

Dim the lights... here we go!  After the nationwide vote, America loved J-Sanch's version of the Billy Joel song.  She is safe.  Joshua Ledet is also safe, and is headed to The Couch of Comfort.  DeAndre Crappensuck heads to the Silver Stools of Suck... thankfully.  Its a start.

Commercial Break... fast forward

Welcome back, Haley Reinhart

Last Year's My Next American Idol Haley Reinhart... not fast forward.  Actually wanted to hear it.  Its not bad.  But, finally, fast forward

Commerical Break... fast forward

And we're back... Seacrusty calls down Colton... EVP... Phillip2... and Hee Jun! (he'll take a sad song and make it better)... Jimmy Iovine says Colton has joined Joshua and J-Sanch to make this season of Idol a "three horse race".  Jimmy Iovine then says, in the real world be who you are--but in this competition, follow the mentor's advice.  Jimmy Iovine says EVP deserves to be at the top of the heap.  And finally, for Hee Jun! (he'll take a sad song and make it better), Jimmy Iovine takes Uncle Steven's harder comments and adds more. 

He then makes my point... "Interscope Records has to spend alot of money on who wins the show, and he's not it..."  And then Hee Jun! (he'll take a sad song and make it better) says, "I'm not trying to be a star." I'm thinking that perhaps he shouldn't be on the show, if that's the case.

Seacrusty sends Colton Dixon to the Couch of Comfort.  Then sends EVP to The Silver Stools of Suck.  Then sends Phillip2 to the Couch of Comfort, putting Hee Jun! (he'll take a sad song and make it better) to the Silver Stools of Suck.

Commerical Break... fast forward

Honestly... I don't like this.  I am afraid of how this going to turn out.  Seacrusty sends DeAndre Crappensuck back to the Couch of Comfort.  Suck it!

And finally... he says EVP has the least amount of votes, while Hee Jun! (he'll take a sad song and make it better) goes back to the Couch of Comfort.  I just don't agree with this.  The novelty is over, and Erika Van Pelt deserves to be here.

As I expected, the judges will not use their save on EVP... I think its too early in the show still.  Maybe in three weeks, EVP might have gotten it, but right now, no.  Sadness.
