Can we skip the farewell song on this one?

We can't?

Well, there's a last time for pretty much everything, including musical torture. In the words of Mel Brooks, goodbye, so long, farewell, get out.

Does anyone have last night's results show on a tape or DVR? I'm almost positive that after Andrew sang, Ryan said something like another contestant, blah, blah, blah, "She will be leaving us tonight" or something to that effect.

The thing that caught my ear was the use of either "she" or "her" but now, after a couple of glasses of wine and a night's sleep, I can't remember.

Anyone?

This is what I heard this morning: "One more person will also see their Idol journey come to a close."

Of course it could have been fixed before it was shown on the west coast.

thanks Capn2patch

That was the quote! But I swear I heard "One more person will also see her Idol journey come to a close."

Anyone with an East coast taping?

East Coast: "their".

This was right after Andrew said thank you for getting to be on the show.

Items up for auction. Show progress from some of the money.

Justing is from the web show by 19E.

Brook on the piano. He is holding a guitar. Oh maybe he is going to play it.

Justin was Miley Cyrus' boyfriend. I guess he got what he wanted out of that relationship.

Brooke has ALWAYS had a way of getting on my nerves, and tonight was no different! Geez, I just do not like this woman!! Her singing? EH-ok, and all that. But I just do not like BW!!
Idonotlikebrookewhite! What can I say.......so glad she was eliminated at, what? 7 or 8?? And hardly do we hear or see anything about her.

I never got her much, either.

She went out fifth her season, S7, over Michael Johns and Carly Smithson.

Aaron and Casey are safe (to clarify that)

Bottom row on the stages (everyone but Casey and Aaron)

Lee--
Siobhan--
Katie--
Michael--
Crystal--
Tim--

After 34 million votes

Crystal--you are safe
Siobhan--you are safe
Lee--one of the songs Chris did when he was eliminated--Walk with me...have a seat you are safe.

Katie, Michael, Tim slide to center stage.

One of them will go home after Adam takes the stage, Live.

I think this is Katie, but I'm also pretty sure VFTW just started to sweat.

And no matter what happens, I got my wish: Andrew left before Michael.

Sure hope it's Katie (and I wouldn't have said that 2-3 weeks ago with Tim on stage). Mike's the guy I most want to see make it here.

Earlier today I thought Tim and Andrew, too few girls left. But now I'm not so sure.

Alicia Keys the Mentor, Inspirational Songs the Theme, will be on Itunes.

Whaddya Want From Me.

Any hope that mother ship will beam him up?

We didn't even see him the entire beginning of that performance, all shadowed in a swirl of laser streaks and clouds.

And Siobhan just had to be green with envy at that last screamer note he let out.

LOL
I was beginning to think they hadn't been able to control him - or were afraid of what he might do - so they thought it best just to keep him slightly concealed. IYKWIM

Just caught up with my DVD recordings, and of AI from last nite.

Lambert was brilliant. Over the top, but he pulls it off with such skill that it's breathtaking, IMO. What a show, very Las vegas'ey, and very mature for such a young guy.

He's loud, but so are rock stars, opera stars and some stage performers. No one I ever heard seriously criticize Ethel Merman (for instance) for being too loud. As far as these ears (mine) can tell, he hits every note perfectly, at whatever volume he goes for.

And his staging is so outrageous.

Sending one back to safety...

Timmeh!!!!!!!!

Michael vs Katie.

One is going home and the other wasn't even in the bottom three.

The person leaving tonight is Katie.

Singing us out with Let It Be.

The other two gals (Crystal and Siobhan) took that pretty hard, too, on the verge of tears.

Thank you, America.

Thank you America LOL - I am done with this show! I knew this would happen, they use a ridiculous judges save that should not exist last week and this week my two favorite contestants are eliminated because of it. Have fun watching your Michael Lynch (who was voted off and SHOULD be gone) I will not be watching!!

Well, depending on your local TV and cable/sat provider, there are plenty of other channels to choose from.

I haven't seen the show--it's in the DVR--so thanks for the recap!

From what I've read, the only thing we know about the votes is that Andrew and Katie were at the bottom.

Ryan never showed us a real B3 (4).

So, why did they pull Michael back into a seeming B3 only to then proclaim that he wasn't in the remaining B3?

Was one of their favs (Lee?) vulnerable so they did the Michael is at risk ruse?

ETA: that leaves two people who have been in the b3-Aaron and Michael. Both are on track to go next time because the fan save has already been activated after last week.

I'm still guessing there is no elimination next week, only a dramatic b3, with thre first one "safe" and then the b2 quaking that they are going home with the "no one's going home" flourish.

They will be asking for donations next Wednesday. Hard to motivate the fans if you boot their fav while asking people to reach into their pockets.

So, who is dragged into the real or fake b3 next week?

Sadism.

There's also an accompanying chance (the sadism is a certainty) that they hid the real B3 candidate to keep that fanbase from rallying -- no one ever said officially Tim was in the bottom either. So if they've decided, say, that Siobhan's run is done, they could scare Tim's backers and hide her vote total with a simple 'safe'.

another excellent job of hosting.
