Whoa, who saw that coming? Color me surprised. I sat and watched the whole elimination show- despite the mind-numbing tediousness. Luckily I had my dad texting me every five seconds to break up the monotony.
Ryan says: Get ready for a double elimination. The Judges’ Save has already been used, so the judges had nothing to do except show up and collect a paycheck. Paula worked hard for her money- she choreographed the Group Lip Synch number for the Top 7, bell bottoms and all. I have to say, the Paula Crazy Train hasn’t really been pulling into the station this year. She seems pretty coherent (comments about shopping in the women’s department excepted) lately, with the only Oh, Paula! moments coming when she stands up, dancing wildly during the sing offs.
As for the Group Lip Synch…no one hits their lines, but the dancing isn’t half bad. Anoop is again sporting the five o’clock shadow and “disco” threads. Dad says: Anoop looked like George Michael after getting caught in a public bathroom. I say: ZING!
Dim all the lights- let’s see who is in this week’s Bottom 3. A visibly ticked off Lil Rounds is up first. Ryan tells Lil that they need her in the competition, but they also need her to walk to the other end of the stage. No messing around with a Bottom 3, she is OUT.
Time to bring back some disco singers of yore, and….wow. This is…I can’t even recap this, it’s so horrible. There’s pitchiness, a desperate need for foundation garments, and an old white guy trying to get down. The Visa commercial during the next break is better than the whole of the disco medley, and it’s just random people singing “SuperFreak.”
Back to the Elimination Station:
Kris: Safe.
Adam: Duh, safe. Take a seat.Glasses Gokey: Simon hated it, the bloggers thought it was a bit harsh. Gokey meditated on it- and he, like, he gets it, you know? Safe.
Anoop: He’s not at the end of the couch (we know the seating chart drill), so he should be safe…but no! Bottom 3!
Allison and Matt: Matt arranged the song himself, thought he did a great job and he is thankful he got the save last week. This week: America agreed with the judges? What?!? Allison is in the Bottom 3? What is wrong with you America? Did you even watch last night’s show?
We need to talk, America. Allison is adorable- look at her in her jeans and sweater combo, young haircut, and how she sings and skips over to Anoop at the Spinny Stools. How can you keep JT, Jr. in this competition and send her home? She’s young, hip and can SING. We’re broken up, America.
Robot-chuleta performs, and it’s nowhere near as tragic as Kellie Pickler’s performance, but he does miss a big note in the bridge. He does a lot of harmless bouncing as he gives the Idols some advice. Allison hugs him. How can you hate her, America?
Anoop and Allison: Anoop is out. Allison is safe! Phew! America, you’re not such an idiot! Oh, Paula! moment: you can hear her screaming/singing over Anoop’s vocals during his Sing Off.
Ryan plays the Home Sweet Home video package for both, and we’re briefly reminded that Lil was brilliant once upon a time, before she ventured into Karaoke Way. Anoop just seems happy to be going back to Chapel Hill. I’m pretty surprised Matt stays, but I think he’s gone next week.
Out: Anoop (Mike) and Lil (Emily)
In it to Win it: Adam (Ryan), Allison (Ashley), Matt (Kim M), Kris (Val)
Also, a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my Mom!
