The Results - Grand Ole Opry

On last week's results show The Season One Miss American Idol, Kelly Clarkson, sang her recent #1 smash, My Life Would Suck Without You. This week she is topping the Billboard album chart with her latest release, All I Ever Wanted with sales of 255,000. Doesn't suck so much at all.

Tonight's group performance of Trouble was a fun burst of high energy. For the most part the Scott MacIntyre choreography issue was resolved by having him sit at the piano while the others danced around him. It turned out to be a very good choice for the song.

Only the top 10 finalists make it to go on the American Idol Summer tour. Danny Gokey, Lil Rounds, Anoop Desai all learned that they are going to be part of the Live Concert festivities while Allison Iraheta and Michael Sarver learned that they are the first two in the bottom three.

Brad Paisley is another country music legend who is a member of the Grand Ole Opry. He sure looked great up there on the American Idol stage wearing his tight jeans, boots and cowboy hat as he sang his latest single, Then. Every week when I go dancing at Charlie's I'm surrounded by a dance floor full of Brad Paisleys. I'm not kidding, you gotta go and check out the handsome crowd over there!

Scott MacIntyre, Meagan Joy Corkery, Matt Giraud, Kris Allen and Adam Lambert are all going on tour this summer. That left Alexis Grace to round out the bottom three. It didn't remain three for long as Allison Iraheta was sent back to safety.

The Supreme Miss American Idol, Season Four winner, Carrie Underwood has already had four #1 singles on the Billboard HOT Country chart from her album, Carnival Ride. The fifth single is a cover of a song that Randy Travis had a hit with in 1988 called, I Told You So. The album version is Carrie singing it solo, but tonight Carrie and Randy got together to sing it live for the first time as a duet. This performance was nothing short of spectacular. Carrie just keeps getting better and better. This year's finalists have a lot to live up to.

Turns out that Michael Sarver is safe and I got my prediction right that Alexis Grace would be the lowest vote getter. She sang her clunky version of Jolene one more time while the judges considered if they were going to use their Judges Save. They did not.

This week I got two out of my three predictions correct as well as my prediction for who would be going home. And I have to admit I'm a little surprised. Can't wait to see what happens next week!
