American Idol Results Show: Blah Blah Blah

{SPOILERS!} Be warned.

Tonight was the Idol results show and it played out exactly as it seemed every Idol blogger, including me, expected it to. Let's start from the top.

To start the show, we had this overlong, overdramatic, time filler listing all the contestants and Ryan telling us someone is going home...duh. After that, Idol alum and previous winner David Cook took the stage to do a solid rockin cover of the Stones' "Jumpin' Jack Flash" followed by commercial #1. After the break we got to hear about the "Judge's Save" and then see the surprisingly not-too-corny Idol Ford music video sans Casey James(because he had the flu) followed by even more Ford promotional push with the contestants being forced to design their own custom Ford Fiestas. After being force fed all the Ford nonsense we finally got to some results.

One side of the stage there was contestants, the other side of the stage held Dr. Doom's three silver stools of um doom. Paige Miles was the first to be sent over, which was kind of surprising, I thought she did alright last night, especially considering her laryngitis, but she was in the bottom 3. Next we had safe Lee, safe Siobhan, safe Aaron, then Andrew and Tim, both deserved to be in the bottom 3, but only one got sent over, and it was... Tim Urban! Yes! Please go away.


After the first part of the results we had commercial #7 followed by a performance by Michael Jackson's "This Is It" tour's singer/guitarist, Orianthi. She didn't sound bad, she played the guitar quite well, I have never heard the song before though. After her performance we got to view commercial #13.

After the break was more results: Didi, safe, Crystal, safe, Mike Lynche, safe, Katie...safe(really?), which left Casey and Lacey to stand up and it is obvious Casey isn't going anywhere... and Lacey Brown gets sent to death row along with Tim and Paige. They are all standing in the middle of the room when Ryan tells them that one of them is safe, and it's....Tim Urban!? Ugh. A shocked Tim goes and sits back down, looking like a stoner who realized he forgot to put on his pants, leaving poor Lacey and Paige left standing. Commercial #23.


After the commercial we got to hear from Ms. Blah Blah Blah herself, Ke$ha. To my total surprise she DID NOT lip sync. She sounded dreadful but at least she knows how to have (trashy)fun on stage. Oh and there was a cameo by 3!OH3! or whatever. Commercial #37.


Finally, the results we've been waiting all night for... Lacey Brown will be going home tonight, but first she must perform and the judge's must pretend that they are seriously deliberating whether or not to use the save. Lacey performed a sad, quivery version of "The Story" while the judges huddled and discussed what they ate today. Simon says they unanimously decided not to use the save, shocker. Enter video montage and tears.

Well that's what happened tonight, thoughts? I am personally a little sad for Lacey, I think she deserved to make the top 10 and Tim and Katie should have went first. I think Lacey just got lost in the crowd, she performed in the middle of the show, an average performance, nothing to talk about, she was forgotten. They didn't tell us what the theme will be for next week, I think I read it will be revealed on iTunes, so I'll make a post when I see it! In the mean time, have a good rest of the week and leave comments!
