And The Winner Is...

Well We'll find out in 2 hours! I just started watching it.

But I'll give you a run-down of the whole show as it goes.

Beginning with the opening number performed by the 10 contestants previously voted off, and can I just say... IT SUCKED!! I HATED IT! The highlight of that number was when the dance break happened and when Josh fell trying to be all cool. Just. Please!

Then Phil rocked the house with former CCR frontman Jon Fogerty. LOVED IT! Thanks Phil for bringing the TALENT back to the show. Just goes to show why you were voted into the final 2. I'm sure it has NOTHING to do with the fact that you're a cute WGWG (white guy with guitar) haha the past 3-4 years suggest the White Guy W/ a Guitar is the clear winner. First they sang Have You Ever Seen The Rain then into Bad Moon Rising. Right up Phil's alley. This is just a preview of what his CD should sound like. CCR mixed with Mumford & Sons.

The montage of all the horrible auditions and crazy antics  really wasn't needed. We saw it in the audition round. Thanks for wasting our time....

I take that back, this mess is hilarious! Keep. It. Going. 

Then there was the Josh Ledet & Fantasia disaster. Good Lord almighty what just happened. From her hair to the outfit to the voice. I just cannot handle this. If I were watching by myself I would be fast-forwarding. But alas... I am not so I must suffer. And then the producers got smart and cut them off & went to commercial. 
Thank you! THANK. YOU!

Dear Josh,
This is why you were eliminated. 
The End.

Thank you Jimmy for never getting J-Ho's name right. She doesn't deserve the time or energy. The she-devil. Go hide in a hole somewhere... 

Up next is the ladies of the top 12. I have not a clue what they sang, I just know the hook was sampled in a Kanye West song. Which is disappointing, but they sounded good. Then they sang I'm Every Women with Chaka Khan (who came out in a skin-tight brown something. My sister said she looked like a giant turd. I kinda agree! WHO DRESSES THESE PEOPLE???????) I liked Erika's hair better dark though. She shouldn't have messed with a good thing. I forgot about Shannon. There was a reason for that. She wasn't very good.

Can I just interject here for a second. I heard a rumor that my boo Philly Phil will be taken to the hospital right after the finale and will NOT be on the tour. Say WHAT? He better be there! I will cry forever if he's not. I'll donate both my kidneys if I have to.

Back to the show... Oh never mind. It's just dumb Rihanna. I just threw up in my mouth a little. That was an excellent lip sync job you did RiRi. Way to make a mockery of the very thing you do to make all your millions. (if you even make that much) But good job making sure you sound all out of breath like you actually did something out there. 
You get a gold star.

Steven Tyler's hysterical. 
Jessica Sanchez sang I Will Always Love You.
Guys of the top 12. Not sure this was a needed performance. So I'll skip it. 
Deandre better watch out in Detroit. I'm bringing my clippers.
Where's Neil Diamond????
That's right... Neil saves the day with Sweet Caroline.
Take notes guys.
And then they SANG THE PHONE BOOK!!!
Are you kidding me??


zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz of sorry JLo's on stage and I fell asleep. Excellent choice of outfits. Your hips look massive! I'm done.


Hollie Cavanagh & Jordin Sparks sang. and that's 5 minutes I wish I could have back.
Add another 6-7 for the Robin Gibb tribute. Sad for the loss, but It wasn't a good tribute.


Jessica Sanchez & Jennifer Holiday? I guess I missed that Jennifer Hudson didn't originally sing that song. My bad. Beautiful wig she's got on though. Kudos hair people.
How Jessica is NOT dying of laughter watching J. Holiday perform I will NEVER understand. That was hilarious! Sounded awesome, but the faces were killing me!


Then some Aerosmith thing happened and I fell asleep again.
Jessica & Phil sang a duet and my heart broke a little because you can tell just by looking at him that Phil really is not feeling well. 

They waited until the last 30 seconds of the TWO HOUR SHOW to announce the winner. And it ran over... SHOCKER!


And the winner is... *drum roll please*
ME!
Kidding


PHILLIP PHILLIPS WINS!


But I really win too, because Philly Phil was my choice to win and now I get a free dinner. 
The. End.

American Idol Rundown

Yipee American Idol Day!
AND IT'S QUEEN NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, I was excited! So let's get down to business and I'll let you know who was good & who sucked. And you will agree because my word is law. Boo-Ya Kasha

Show Opener - Queen Medley - All Contestants
LOVED. IT. Really all that needs to be said.

Queen Songs:
Jessica Sanchez - Bohemian Rhapsody
I really hated this with all my heart & soul. I think this was her worst week to date. I think she is a great singer, but this was bad, bad, bad!

Skylar Laine - The Show Must Go On
I didn't know this song, AT ALL, but I really kinda enjoyed it. I heart Skylar.

Josh Ledet - Crazy Little Thing Called Love
Meh... I kinda hated it. The judges just need to sit down! 

Elise Testone - I Want It All
As much as I ADORE Elise, this song just didn't do it for me! that makes me super sad. Voice is still amazing, I just didn't care for the song.

Phillip Phillips - Fat Bottom Girls
Philly Phil, I love you, but you look constipated every time you sing. I liked it, but I didn't love it. I agree with The Dawg Randy Jackson this week.

Hollie Cavanagh - Save Me
I love the suit she wore! and I genuinely enjoy her voice, the song was very good! Never heard it before but she did a good job with it. She is my favorite of all the Queen songs.

Contestant Choice:
Jessica Sanchez - Dance With My Father
This song was soooooo much better than her Queen choice. You could just feel the emotion in her voice. Excellent job. 

Skylar Laine- Tattoos on this Town
Anytime Skylar gets to do country is a good time. It's just her thing. She just sings the heck out of it every time! She will definitely go far in the country world, winner of American Idol or not.

Josh Ledet - Ready For Love
Again, so much better than his Queen choice. I've already told you guys I'm pretty over Josh, but he really did an amazing job with this song! (I think Queen just wasn't a good choice for these guys!) 

Elise Testone - Bold As Love 
I know this as a John Mayer song, but it's a Jimmy Hendrix song according to Steven Tyler. Who knew! I think she over-sung it a little. I just couldn't follow it. :(

Phillip Phillips - The Stone
(I love the little montage before his song. Oh Phil) Philly Phil is back! I loved this song. Screw Queen, don't force him into a box. He's a star! haha Lame, I know.

Hollie Cavanagh - The Climb
LOVE THIS SONG! And I love Hollie's version. I just love her. She may not win, but I would totes buy a Hollie Cavanagh CD and listen to it all the live long day!

Elimination show:
All I know from the elimination show is that my girl Elise went home. Yea, I Wikipedia'd it because I'm too dang tired to stay up and watch the whole show. I'm angry. :(

American Idol Top 7 & Elimination.

So. I hate to be a party pooper this week but I am so dang tired I just don't have the energy for a full post like I did last week. So I'm just going to give you a quick rundown of both shows and let that be that. Don't like it? Tough cookies!

Performance Show

Hollie Cavanagh:
Song 1 - I had goosebumps with the first notes. She seriously did an amazing job! 
Song 2 - Not really a fan. Just didn't hit me like the first one did.

Colton Dixon:
Song 1 - HATED. IT! Sorry Colton, this just was NOT a good choice in song. 
Song 2 - AMAZEBALLS! I seriously loved it! 

Elise Testone:
Loved it! Both songs. She seriously is amazing to me! Her voice is so unique and I really just wish America would get on board and vote the right way! I did not however, like the orange dress she wore during the first song. The sheer orange billowy material just kinda made her look a little fatty fat fat. I'm. Just. Sayin'.

Skylar Laine:
I really enjoyed both of her songs. I wasn't a fan of the country Gaga version when it came out, but Skylar really did it justice! 

Josh Ledet:
Ya know, I think I have just had enough of Josh. I really am just not a fan. He didn't do a bad job, I just don't really enjoy him.

Jessica Sanchez:
While I agree with America Jessica is a great singer, I just don't think she has "it". I don't believe she will win, but she did a great job on both songs.

Phillip Phillips:
Philly Phil can really do no wrong for me. Anyone out there who thinks so deserves a salmon slap! 

Results Show

*Mr. Soul Patrol, Taylor Hicks, was in the crowd. Irrelevant. *eye roll*

*Kris Allen performed, and I adore him! I like... no LOVE his new song to!! New album here I come!

* LMFAO sang. meh... I like the song, performance was mildly entertaining, but it really did nothing for me.

*Bottom 3 was Hollie Cavanagh (umm why?), Elise Testone (seriously America?) & Colton Dixon (not surprised) and Colton went home. He didn't deserve to go home, in my opinion, but what can ya do. He had an off week and he was man enough to admit that he picked bad songs. He wasn't himself and that cost him a shot at winning.

American Idol. Top 7.

If you are a fan of AI, THIS IS THE YEAR TO GO TO THE LIVE SHOW! They are seriously amazing this year. With the exception of Deandre. Blech I just want to shave his head while he's sleeping... Ready for a re-cap?

Skylar Laine: Didn't You Know How Much I Loved You (By American Idol Alumni Kellie Picker) 
I. Love. Skylar. She just has that growl in her voice and she is a little country princess if I've ever seen one! I don't personally think she is going to win, but she's got amazing talent and will go far!

Colton Dixon: Love The Way You Lie (By Skylar Gray)
I will admit, I don't remember Colton from last year, shame on me, and when I first heard him this year(ByI really was not a fan. BUT He has seriously impressed since then. His song this week was AMAZEBALLS! Like you would not believe!

Phillip Phillips & Elise Testone: Duet - Somebody That I Used To Know (By Gotye ft. Kimbra)
I have listened to this about 10 times on my recording. The only reason I have moved past this is because my sister Kayla is in here watching it with me. I'm not one to run out and buy songs on iTunes, but I just bought this one. No. Joke. I love these 2 togther more than I love Mac & Cheese and that's a lot!

Update: Actually it was a joke because iTunes doesn't have that song on there!!!! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?!?!?!?!!?!?!

Jessica Sanchez: Stuttering (By Jazmine Sullivan) 
J-dawg has some serious pipes, I will give her that. BUT I really did not care for this weeks song. She sang the shiz out of it, but the song in general kinda sucked. She should have picked a better one.

It's about here in the show where I spoiled the results for myself by going on Wikipedia. Nice job Jess... Stellar!

Josh Ledet: Runaway Baby (By Bruno Mars)
I don't know why... but I really am a Bruno Mars hater... It pains me to say that, and I think that is why I really didn't like Josh this week. #SorryImNotSorry

Colton Dixon & Skylar Laine: Duet - Don't You Wanna Stay (By Jason Aldean & Kelly Clarkson)
I like the song, I loved these 2 together last week but I did not love the harmonies this week. They did great in their individual parts, together it was just so so for me.

Hollie Cavanagh: Perfect (By Pink)
The accent is just so cute! And I loved her outfit too! This song was... well... PERFECT for her! She just has that strong low-ish voice that pink does.  Great fit, love Hollie!

Phillip Phillips: Give A Little More (By Maroon 5)
Can I just say that when fill sings, he looks constipated. Like for reals. Regardless, I love him always. He is my favey, my pick to win. I have yet to be disappointed in a song he's sang. This week was no exception. Love.

Hollie Cavanagh, Josh Ledet & Jessica Sanchez: Trio - Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)  (By Season 1 winner Kelly Clarkson)
I will premise this with, neither of these 3 are really high on my favorites list. But the KILLED THIS SONG! Are you serious???? Ah-Maze-Balls to the max. 

Elise Testone: You & I (By Lady Gaga)
Dare I say, she sang this better than Gaga??? In my opinion yes, and my opion is all that matters here! haha I love Elise, she's the whip! She just needs to keep picking great songs and singing the crap out of them like she has been! She may not win it all, but she will go far!

Results show: Really didn't care for the opening number. They sang Raise Your Glass by Pink... Meh. They handed out some fan mail, that was cute. James Durbin performed... Hated it. Not sure what kind of mic he was using, but it was stupid. Jennifer Hudson & 
Ne-Yo performed... Love this song. I normally fast forward through the performances because they suck! But I watched this one. I want to rip that hat of Ne-yo's head, for reals you look like an idiot. Just. Sayin.

Bottom 3 surprisingly was Josh, Elise & Jessica. The looked on Jennifer's face when Jessica was voted out was seriously priceless. She was about to shank someone.The judges used their save to keep her around for one more week. They felt so strongly about it they ran up on stage, mid save me song, and took the mic out of her hands and said "go sit down, you aren't going anywhere"
