The top four boys opened the show with a medley of Frank Sinatra hits. The first one was The Lady Is A Tramp and Crystal was quite noticeably absent from the performance. Thankfully, her wonderful voice and talent was saved for a grand entrance leading to the second verse. She proved once again that she's the only finalist this season with any star quality.
Lee was the first to learn that he has safely made it to the Top Four.
Lady Gaga has successfully accomplished the impossible feat of teaching millions of fans on dance floors all over the world to chant "Ra Ra ah ah ah, Roma Ramala, Ga Ga oh la la" at the top of their lungs on a repeated basis. It's amazing that her smash hit Bad Romance only peaked at #2 on the Billboard HOT 100 while it's still a huge crowd pleasing popular favorite. Tonight on the American Idol stage, Lady Gaga brought her impressive avante garde style of performance art to introduce the world to her latest single Alejandro. It's sure to be the latest in her ongoing string of hits.
This week's mentor, Harry Connick Jr., then took the stage and stepped away from the Sinatra songbook to sing a song from his latest CD. This time he is interpreting a song from another legendary songbook. The Beatles hit #12 in 1964 with And I Love Her and Harry's version was just as classic and jazzy as you would expect. The Top 5 finalists then attempted to entertain us with a medley of Harry's music, but their efforts fell flat.
Crystal and Casey are both safe leaving Michael and Aaron as the bottom two. After weeks of hoping for this to finally happen it turns out that Aaron Kelly was the lowest vote getter and we are finally through listening to his whiny little voice.
While I predicted that Casey would be going home, I am very pleased that I was wrong and Aaron is being sent packing instead.
