First, the judges are introduced, Ryan is introduced, the idols are introduced. Not too much blah blah-ing. Then we get to see the kids in their mansion.
Wait, what?
An MJ group medley?!? O. M. G. Welcome Back, awesome-ly arranged results show group medley. I haven’t seen you in awhile. Despite the fact you were lip synced I DIDN’T EVEN CARE because I loved you so much.
Le Ford music vid. (Unimpressed).Red Riding Hood Movie pimpage. (It actually looks good).
Jacob, Karen, and Stefano are up first. Jacob and Stefano are safe, and Karen is in the bottom 3. Ryan messed that one up. ”You are all safe…except Karen.” Nice one, Seacrest.
After the break, screamy is back (mostly) sans the screamy! Nice performance Lambert. I haven’t really kept up with his music post-idol, but I really liked his performance. He gets a big smiley.
After the break, Lauren, Asht(h)on, and Haley arrive center stage. Lauren is sent back to the couches because she is safe. Asht(h)on and Haley are both sent to the stools of doom, and since we are running out of time, and a random artist needs pimpage, all of the other contestants are told they are safe.
Random Artist Du Jour: Diddy Dirty-Money. At least they are singing live rather than pre-recorded. Plus the kids get some Dr. Phil-esque words of wisdom from Diddy himself.
Finally, the results. Karen is safe, and sent back to the couches. Asht(h)on and her superfluous H is out and Haley is safe. She sings for her life and chooses her Diana Ross number once again. She knows that she won’t be saved, and the judges would be stupid to use it so soon.
OUT TONIGHT:
I am not sure if I have a higher tolerance this season, but this hour-long results show didn’t seem as painful as last season. I would still prefer a half-hour results show, and hopefully we will get there eventually, but it wasn’t so bad.
