Four more are out the door

All 20 finalists opened the show with an unspectacular medley of 70's hits. Just like last week it was a drab collection of songs performed in a vocally boring way. At least, last week the finalists dressed up in funtabulous 60's mod fashions. Unfortunately, this week there were no super duper 70's clothes to save the ensemble piece.

The boys were first to face elimination. Michael Johns is safe and so are Chikezie and Jason Castro. We were left with either Danny Noriega or Jason Yeager going home. Even though Jason Yeager was my prediction, my fingers were crossed that we would be getting rid of Danny sooner than later. No such luck. Jason got the bad news and sang for the last time on the Idol stage.

Kristy Lee Cook was the first to be told that she is safe followed by Asia'h Epperson and Brooke White. That meant either Alexandrea Lushington or Amanda Overmyer were going to be sent packing. Turns out that Alexandrea is going to find out exactly what is going to happen if she leaves us now.

Carly Smithson was then told that she is safe. Ramiele Malubay and Syesha Mercado are also coming back next week. Kady Malloy and Alaina Whitaker were called center stage to hear that they were among the three lowest vote getters. Alaina was brought to tears when she heard the news that her time has come to an end. The rest of the girls all gathered round her in support as she bravely performed.

The Davids are all safe: Cook, Archuleta and Hernandez. Luke Menard and Robbie Carrico were called center stage to hear that Robbie had to sing for the last time.

I got three out of my four predictions correct. Now that Kady is coming back next week she'll get a chance to choose the right song and blow us all away. It should be a great show! Hopefully we'll continue with the theme and get the TOTALLY AWESOME songs of the 80's!!!!!
