Apart from the weird performance by Season 4 winner Fantasia Barrino which left Simon Cowell flabbergasted, the Idol results show tonight didn’t hold any other surprise. Top Three finalists David Archuleta, David Cook, and Syesha Mercado each traversed a long road to Idol-dom, but it ended for one of them: the sole diva Syesha.
So no surprises there. Even SM looked expectant as Ryan announced who will be pitted against each other next week.
There’s nothing else to say. Very predictable. Just like Randy’s comments last night.
Given the two Davids, I pick the taller one to win. It’s not that I don’t like Archuleta, Cook is just more talented no matter what anyone says. The smaller D is no pop-material to me which is what American Idol winners are. His voice range is limited and he is stuck in the slow, mellow ballads that he always croons.
On the other hand, David Cook has proven to be an exciting performer. Though his voice may also not be as flexible just like Archu’s, he can copy compose arrangements that match his range. He is more contemporary than his namesake, and that makes him the better Idol than Plantchuleta.
There goes it. It looks like it’s going to be a boring finale. But if the Cookie cooks something new and something clever, then it might be worth watching.
In the meantime, here is Syesha singing “If I Ain’t Got You” before she joined American Idol’s Seventh Season.
During tonight’s results show, Ryan warned us of the drama that was to unfold. No, it wasn’t dramatic even in the slightest and the outcome was all the same not unexpected.
Maroon 5 and Season 4 second-placer Bo Bice were there for professional entertainment. The other notable part in tonight’s performances was that of the Final Four. It was a dance battle between the Davids. And Big D won showing more rhythm than Divarchuleta surprisingly. Who would have thought that Cookie can get jiggy with it?
No reference to bottom two this time. The set-up was to have the Top Three sit directly on the sofa, which I actually thought would wrap up the show quicker than Little D could make that stupid animated face. But Ryan had wastefully had to interview each of the Idols, beginning with David A., and recount the judges’ comments from the previous night. Anything to stall and stretch the show to an hour (which included the Idols’ taste of Hollywood star treatment). Don’t we all wish our very own Pinoy Idol had that luxury?
David C.’s turn was up and he was sent to the official loveseat of the Davids. The third one was just there to intrude. At approximately 9:25 PM EST, Jason stammeringly asked Seacrest if he was going to announce the third person right there and then. It was sorta funny since for a moment there, it seemed like he was scared. But first commercial break.
I purposefully ignored the live phone-in since they’re as absurd as Jason winning American Idol anyway.
So between the true diva and a stoner, America voted off the dreadlocks. The exit interview was the most hilarious part of the show since it featured Jason and Renaldo Lapuz jamming Since U Been Gone during auditions. And since Castro is gone, the fun part is about to tone down and a more intense pressure is about to mount the remaining Idols.
Next week is Heroes Homecoming and we shall witness crowd frenzy bigger than the premiere of Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz’s new flick. Come back to IdolFlux for your Idol updates. And be nice, leave us comments.
Last night, American Idol converted its stage into a theatrical act which proved that the Top 6 is as vulnerable as Jordin Sparks’ vocal cords. They performed music composed by Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber and only one or two of them, give or take, were worthy of an encore. Tonight’s the dreaded results show and one of them may never find a career in Broadway. Read the rest of this entry »
It’s the results show tonight and there were predictions already as to who goes home. Mariah Carey mentored the Idols last night, but it was the guys who dominated the stage. So, it is predicted that the bottom three will be composed of Syesha, Carly, and Brooke (Kristy seems to have a stronger fanbase than Syesha, probably headed by the funny people from Votefortheworst.com).
But no shocker this week. At the bottom three were Syesha, Brooke, and Kristy (Sorry VFTW). The show has its way of wrecking nerves. Ryan divided the American Idols into two confusing groups with the losers initially scattered among the two so no one could tell which one contained the bottom three. Ultimately and after some swapping, the biggest loser was Kristy Lee Cook, just like Sanjaya Malakar last year who was eliminated during the Top 7 Results Show.
It’s been long due. She just doesn’t have what it takes to become the “American Idol.” But I gotta give it to her, she’s the prettiest country girl I’ve seen. Speaking of country, sure she can go back to the countryside and buy another horse. But I’m also sure that she can glitter in a “mansion” with that pretty looks of hers. In any case, we wish her luck and hope that she really blows the socks out of someone next time.

From yesterday’s star-studded and touching show, tonight American Idol went back to business which means that one of the Top 8 had to pack and say goodbye to the Idol stage.
The bottom three tonight consisted of Carly, Syesha, and Michael. Not that big a surprise considering they all had weak performances, though hardly the weakest, last Tuesday (Michael screaming, Carly looking angry, and Syesha doing a Fantasia). Too bad that despite their efforts last night to raise money (reportedly $60 million and counting), the show has to go on. Luckily for Syesha and Carly, they were declared safe, until next Wednesday at least.
Needless to say, Michael had the lowest number of votes which left everyone in the audience open-mouthed in shock. Most people probably had expected that no one was going home since during the same-themed show last year, no one was booted out.
Poor Aussie hunk clearly holding back his tears. But hey, with his looks, his voice, and that hot accent, he can surely find a career in music. Just never ever cover Dream On again.

Dollywood week is over and one of the Idols was sent home to the countryside. At the bottom three tonight were Kristy, Ramiele, and Brooke. Unsurprisingly, Filipina-American Ramiele Malubay had the lowest number of votes. Now that the last member of the Click 4 is out, they can all rejoin together and form a band or a dance troupe or just start a stand-up comedy show or something. Read the rest of this entry »
Tonight’s American Idol elimination round featured the new song Fall by Kimberly Locke, who placed 3rd in AI’s sophomore season, and the typical commercial jingle. Just as important are the group performance, where the lads didn’t have a solo piece, and the live call-in.Read the rest of this entry »
