Next week we are at the Nokia. The finale on the big stage. And dialidol is the most confident with their ouster prediction as they have been all season. So I don’t think there will be a shocker tonight.
[What? I am blogging a results show?!? That is the only big shocker of the night, I know.]
The first ten minutes are intros and a little talk back session with the top 3 and the judges. [filler filler filler....]
After the break we get the Ford commercial to I’m A Wild One. Then we get to go home to Texas with Casey. They had a great turnout (as I would expect–everything is bigger in Texas) and all the girls seemed very enthusiastic about Casey! I liked that he went to visit the hospital, as well.
Travis Garland (??) discovered by Perez Hilton (????) performs next. Perez is discovering new vocal talent now? What is this world coming to? I do like that this guy is kind of unknown, but the whole stagey dancey production was a bit over the top. Also, how does he get more vocal screen time than the contestants? There are so many questions that I have about this.
I am encouraged by the reports I read about next season on Idol the results show will only be a half hour, and the performance show will be 90 minutes. A LONG OVERDUE improvement.
After the break, we visit Toledo with Crystal. Aww, she is so emotional, and she got to see her son. That was quickly followed by Lee in Chicago, which was equally as adorable. Midwest FTW!
Well, we have 15 minutes left. No talks of eliminations yet. So what better thing to do than bring out Justin Bieber for a completely irrelevant performance! Clearly the logical choice.
With seven minutes left, we finally get around to the purpose of the show. (We did tune in for a purpose, right?) Lee gets his summary first, followed by Crystal and then Casey. Lee finds out he is safe, followed quickly by Crystal, with Casey making his exit tonight.
ELIMINATED TONIGHT: CASEY JAMES
He sings his exit song of Daughters, and seems like he is enjoying himself. This leaves the obvious pairing of Crystal and Lee in the finale, where it is really Lee’s game to lose. We will see how things go next week, it should be fun!
Also, I owe a heads-on-maps graphic (for Dave) but since my latest computer crash, all of my files are on my old hard drive. Once I rescue that file, I will post the photgraphic. Additionally, I scored some swag for a fun giveaway, which I will post information on shortly. So, all sorts of fun things are coming up for finale week!
