At some point this season, if they feel that the wrong contestant got the lowest number of votes, the judges now have the option of using "The Judges Save" and allow that contestant to get another chance. Will they use it tonight?
The top 13 finalists opened the show with a fun medley of I Want You Back and ABC, both #1 hits by the Jackson 5 from 1970. Special recognition has to go to Scott MacIntyre for getting up with the rest of the finalists and learning the choreography. None of that sitting in a chair for this exceptional finalist!
Michael Sarver and Allison Iraheta were the first to hear that they are safe and coming next week. Jasmine Murray, unfortunately, had to go stand center stage. Matt Giraud and Kris Allen are also both safe, while Megan Joy Corkrey had to go stand with Jasmine. Rather than leaving us waiting til the end of show, Ryan immediately revealed that Megan is safe and that Jasmine's only hope was a SAVE from the judges. A save that didn't happen......
The only good thing about a very nice young woman like Jasmine being sent home is that this was the first opportunity for all of the American Idol fans to hear the new single from the Supreme Miss American Idol, Season Four Winner, Carrie Underwood. Every week when another finalist is sent home we'll hear Carrie sing Home Sweet Home, a cover of the song that originally cracked the top 40 by Motley Crue in 1992. It goes without saying that Carrie's version is a bazillion times better.
Kanye West is still in the top 10 this week with his song, Heartless, that recently peaked at #2. The only good thing about this unpleasant performance was the fact that he was singing through a distortion microphone. And I loosely use the term "singing" and I wish it was even more distorted.
Scott MacIntyre, Alexis Grace and Danny Gokey are all safe. Anoop Desai then had to go stand center stage. Adam Lambert is safe. Jorge Nunez had to join Anoop center stage leaving Lil Rounds at the safety of the couch.
Season One Miss American Idol, Kelly Clarkson, just released a new album yesterday called All I Ever Wanted. The first single, My Life Would Suck Without You, is still in the top 10 this week after making the biggest leap in the history of the Billboard HOT 100 to #1. She sounded great performing it back on the American Idol stage.
Turns out that Anoop is safe and Jorge must sing while the judges determine if they want to save him or not. Turns out that the judges CAN say goodbye and Jorge's journey has come to an end.
As for my predictions, I got three out of four correct. I didn't even think Jasmine was going to be in the bottom four and turns out she was eliminated. I think both she and Jorge are being sent home too soon.
