AMERICAN IDOL 4/21/10: Top 7 Results

BOTTOM 3:

Hey hey!  Not bad!  2 out of the 3 correct!  Wow, I even called Casey!  I felt like he was losing ground, and obviously he was…I always wondered just HOW strong Casey’s fanbase really was…and the fact that he ended up in the B3 verifies he wasn’t very solid after all.  I kinda think all this time he was right at the CUSP of the B3, but always managed to escape it, giving the impression that he was up there in the rankings…

Now there are only 3 people NEVER in the B3:  Crystal, Siobhan & Lee – who BTW are probably the BEST Top 3 they could have.  After all these crazy weeks of shocker B3s and boots, the fact that these 3 have managed to steer clear from the B3 means they have PRETTY STRONG fanbases…

BOOTED:

Tim

Aww Tim…finally your week.  Even tho you were booted, you left with that signature smile on your face.  He was pretty impressive how he was able to hang on these last few weeks…and at LEAST he produced a FEW PRETTY GOOD performances!  I’m sure he was sad to go, but I’m sure much of America was breathing a sigh of relief.

LOST 4/20/10: 6.13 “The Last Recruit”

• It was a good thought of Sawyer to try to escape from Flocke and go to Widmore to try to get off the island WITHOUT Flocke…too bad it didn’t really work as planned…

• So is Desmond making it his mission in the flash sideways to bring everyone together?
• So did Desmond run Locke over because he knows how in ‘real time” Locke becomes a bad man?
• Pretty cool how in the flash sideways, they are starting to connect everyone:

1. Locke & Sun brought into the same hospital…Sun recognizes Locke.
2. Sawyer & Miles get assigned to Jin/Sun’s shooting incident…they go after/arrest Sayid.
3. Jack and Claire get brought together for their father’s will reading.

• FINALLY!  Jin & Sun are reunited!

• And THEN they all get “captured” by Widmore’s people…
• Was Jack right to abandon the group to go BACK to the island?  I totally understand what he’s saying tho…if Flocke really is making it his mission to get them ALL OFF the island…there must be a reason he DOESN’T want them to STAY.
• Maybe now he can find out what that is…since he and Flocke are stuck together now after that attack on the beach…

LEA MICHELE: Triple Threat

Especially after watching last night’s Madonna episode, with SO MANY musical numbers…it just made me realize HOW MUCH Lea Michele has to do every week in terms of acting, singing and dancing.

‘Cause it’s not like she’s just in the background, part of the Glee Club like the others…she’s always RIGHT UP FRONT and CENTER, with the lead most of the time.

Express Yourself

Borderline/Open Your Heart

Like A Virgin

Like A Prayer

Gotta give it to her…that’s a LOT of weight to carry every week.  And she does it effortlessly and flawlessly.

Rachel has always kinda been the “center” of this show, so they needed someone great in that role.  Boy did they find a diamond in the rough!  What would they do without Lea Michele? Seriously.

She’s awesome.

AMERICAN IDOL Top 7 Predictions

Hmm…here’s my predictions this week:

BOTTOM 3:

Tim

Mike

Casey

I know that Mike wasn’t even in the B3 last week, but that’s just ’cause he was riding on the save from the week before.  This week he didn’t pick a good song and didn’t sound the greatest in it, imo.  Tim is getting by on his “hotness” and the fact that he was ACTUALLY improving the last few weeks…until now.  Altho a very inspirational song, he just couldn’t pull it off.  Going out on a bit of a limb with Casey…since he was just “EH” two weeks in a row…and this week he actually went FIRST, which is the danger spot already.

GOING HOME:

It’s a tough call, but I think it’s FINALLY Tim’s time.  For the first week in a WHILE, he actually didn’t do a performance that was impressive at all.  He didn’t make himself stand out, and moving BACKWARDS in a competition like this will hurt you, especially when you weren’t the best to begin with.
