Well, at the very least, tonight should be interesting. The Judges' Save will be on everyone's mind tonight during American Idol. There is a clear schism between the haves and the have-nots. Lil Rounds should go home, and everyone else deserves their spot in the American Idol Top 6. This being the case, it's quite likely that if anyone but Lil Rounds is the lowest vote-getter (an extremely likely scenario), the judges will use their big save. In a perfect world, Lil would be eliminated and the judges would never have to use their save. But, we shall see. Maybe Danny Gokey will get the lowest votes and maybe the judges won't save him (one can only hope).
And, hey teeny-boppers and creepy old men, guess what?!?!? Miley Cyrus will be on American Idol tonight!!! ZOMG!!! Actually, she was on the Idol stage a couple of weeks ago and pre-recorded a performance. No matter what, it'll be better than Flo Rida, but not as awesomely insane as Lady Gaga (I've changed my tune on Ms. Gaga - while her songs may suck, her audacity is adorable). But, to the matters at hand - You! Me! Results Show! Now!
Just caught the end of Bones. Actually looked promising. A scene that could have been incredibly schmaltzy and melodramatic was kind of touching, and that's from someone with absolutely no context.
Anyway, LET'S GET IT ON!!!
The opening of tonight's show is trying to be like Quentin Tarantino somehow. Going for a Grindhouse thing, but it's not very good. As cynical as I am, I kind of enjoy these over-dramatic openings. Quentin Tarantino thinks he knows who is going home. If we're going by quality, it absolutely, positively has to be Lil. There is no other choice. But, Tarantino said he was a big Lil fan, so who knows?
Ryan tells us about tonight's show. "It's Miley!" Oh, and our old friend Jennifer Hudson will be here. Hey, a guest with actual talent. Excellent.
Randy is getting on the whole Easter thing late, wearing a lavendar sweater. Paula is dropping some Cougar-ish, semi-creepy cleavage.
The Idol Ford commercial this week is set to “Freeze Frame.” This is the time of the Live Thoughts where I make my “J. Geils Band is thankful for the royalties” joke. You're welcome, Earth.
Oh, good god. The group song this week is "I'm a Maniac." Well, this is actually cool. It sounds like they are actually singing live tonight. I'm pretty sure. Maybe that's because everyone left in the competition can actually sing.
Danny Gokey, you and me are through.
Lil Rounds looks tonight. Which is good, because it's her final show. (fingers crossed)
This has been a very uninspired, flat performance. Maybe because it's a stupid song. First commercial break.
And we are back. Ryan asks Adam about Quentin: Tarantino talked about the "power of music" in movies. The Top 7 went to the premiere of 17 Again last night. CROSS PROMOTION!!!!! This is the new Zac Efron movie. He totally met and shook all hands with Zac Efron. We see a bunch of clips from the movie. It is totally shameless. It's a big commercial for the movie. Corporate synergy! Lame.
Guess what? Zac Efron is actually in the crowd. He doesn't look terribly pleased to be there. I don't blame him.
RESULTS TIME!!!
Allison stands up. She better make it. How do you not love Allison at this point? Ego-less teenager with a great voice.
Allison Iraheta is safe.
Adam Lambert is safe. Obvi.
