The Results Show: Jason's Booted!
Tonight's results show features performances from Maroon 5 and, more interestingly, Season 4 runner-up Bo Bice who has a hot Southern Rock album, See the Light, he's released independently. Hot, as in quite good. Hopefully, tonight's performance will inspire some sales. Meantime, my Idol Poll has Jason far and away most likely getting the boot tonight, with more than 80 percent of the vote. Let's hope this comes to pass...(you can still vote on that poll until 10 p.m. tonight, scroll to the item on this blog and vote away!)
- 51 million votes came in, with the top 3 separated by less than a million apiece, Ryan reveals.
- The group performance of Steely Dan's Reeling in the Years was fair. Syesha and Cook navigated the lyric well enough, Archie's Robo-Tone doesn't work for a rock song (he's going to be the next Clay Aiken balladeer when he starts cutting albums) and Jar Jar was his usual dreadful self.
- Archuleta's safe. This means another week that we have to see his stage father from hell in the audience. Can't this guy take a week off and let the poor kid's mother get to see her son in the studio audience? Archie needs to stop saying he's having "fun" with the songs. Love Me Tender is not a "fun" song, kid.
- Cook's safe.
- It's between Jason and Syesha. Ryan teases that he'll tell us who is going home after the break. But it's only 9:25. Even Jason figured out it was too soon to reveal the result. "You're going to tell us now," he queried. Of course not! We have to sit thru 35 more minutes of this drivel!
- Maroon5 performs If I Never See Your Face Again. If I never see singer Adam Levine's face again or hear his girlie voice again I'd be more than happy! They opened for the Police last summer and Levine was so obnoxious on stage.
- Bo Bice: Looks like a rocker. Sounds like a rocker. IS a rocker. Love him. Did his new single Witness. I wish we had a Bo Bice among this season's cast, how much more exciting it would be. Bo's still the most convincing rocker Idol has had (even better than Daughtry). Long time viewers, remember when Bo did the a capella rendition of In a Dream? Striking. No one's had the guts or ability to do that since. Hope Cook was taking notes.
- Jason's booted. In Barbarino-fashion he explains away his ineptitude by noting that he's "inexperienced."



I love Steely Dan but this is just painful..the choreography is laughable.

Judge Judy in the house! She should take over for Randy or Paula!
Posted by: Lesley | May 07, 2008 at 09:06 PM
Archie needs a personality coach bigtime.
Posted by: Lesley | May 07, 2008 at 09:13 PM
Hey HoCo, did you read the Enquirer about Archie's parents being divorced but not officially??
Posted by: Lesley | May 07, 2008 at 09:18 PM
You're right about the choreography! What stiff moves! Talk about STEELY dan.
Posted by: HoCo | May 07, 2008 at 09:19 PM
Hi Lesley. Did you see TMZ? They claim JarJar mouthed "Don't vote". Any thoughts?
Posted by: MrandMrsevans | May 07, 2008 at 09:20 PM
Hey Mr and Mrs E! I didn't pay enough attention to Jar Jar but I did notice he said something so I'd have to see the clip again to determine! Did you rewatch or notice it?
Posted by: Lesley | May 07, 2008 at 09:24 PM
why does Starcheleta Senior need a divorce, can't he have like 10 wives?
Posted by: Lane | May 07, 2008 at 09:25 PM
Meanwhile can we discuss why they didn't throw that buffoon Matt the hell off Hell's Kitchen last night?
Posted by: Lesley | May 07, 2008 at 09:26 PM
We watched it six or seven times. It could go either way... we're just tuning in to see if Jar Jar gives everyone the finger if he gets voted off.
Posted by: MrandMrsevans | May 07, 2008 at 09:28 PM
re: Archie family..there's tons of drama....wifey and fam are from Miami....apparently Archie's mom wasnt allowed to see Archie without supervision..big scandals..the Utah thing came later. Very bizarro family. Explains why Archie is so off.
Posted by: Lesley | May 07, 2008 at 09:28 PM
We agree. Shayna got screwed like a 3 dollar hooker.
Posted by: MrandMrsevans | May 07, 2008 at 09:29 PM
This Idol commercial would be better if it was a Ford Taurus.
Posted by: MrandMrsevans | May 07, 2008 at 09:30 PM
i wonder if jar jar got a deal with cheech and chong's reefer madness label or something, which is why he is so eager to get the hell off. That, or he decided he just wants to get into hydroponics instead of music...
Posted by: Lesley | May 07, 2008 at 09:30 PM
mr and mrs e--Shayna was slow, yes, but Matt is borderline retarded/sociopathic and shouldn't be anywhere knives or fire.
Posted by: Lesley | May 07, 2008 at 09:32 PM
my question is can you please put these tedious phone calls out of their misery?
Posted by: Lesley | May 07, 2008 at 09:34 PM
do you watch Top Chef?
Posted by: Lane | May 07, 2008 at 09:34 PM
evan, I got a concept for that contest
Posted by: Lane | May 07, 2008 at 09:35 PM
I'd rather hear a dentist's drill in my ear all night than Maroon Five. And Lane, I only watched Top Chef Miami, not this season.
Posted by: Lesley | May 07, 2008 at 09:36 PM
Adam Levine is an inspiration to all of us awkward Jewish guys.
Posted by: MrandMrsevans | May 07, 2008 at 09:36 PM
did you see half hebrewette Scarlett J is marrying Van Wilder?
I thought he was married to Alanis
Posted by: Lane | May 07, 2008 at 09:38 PM
I watch it with the Mrs. I am a bigger project runway fan.
Posted by: MrandMrsevans | May 07, 2008 at 09:38 PM
he and Alanis broke up cause Alanis went for a chick instead...
Posted by: Lesley | May 07, 2008 at 09:39 PM
My boy Perez Hilton told me Alanis and Van Wilder broke up.
Posted by: MrandMrsevans | May 07, 2008 at 09:40 PM
HoCo--I agree re Adam Levine...meh!!
Posted by: Lesley | May 07, 2008 at 09:40 PM
What's the concept?
Posted by: MrandMrsevans | May 07, 2008 at 09:41 PM
I did read the Enquirer story. Said that Archie's win money on Star Search kept the family together. How sad, the pressure they are putting on this boy. that father makes me ill every time I have to see his face on TV
Posted by: HoCo | May 07, 2008 at 09:42 PM
HoCo, will you blow a gasket if Syesha goes and Castro stays?
Posted by: Lesley | May 07, 2008 at 09:42 PM
Alanis went lesbo? I guess canoodling with Uncle Joey from "Full House" would do that with you. Only so many lame impressions of Popeye and Bulwinkle can one woman take.
Posted by: Lane | May 07, 2008 at 09:42 PM
HoCo--I worked on that NE story..I had to track down some of Archie's relatives...brutal.
Posted by: Lesley | May 07, 2008 at 09:43 PM
It's not inconceivable for Castro to stay -- his fans could rally around him because they felt bad.
Meanwhile, I love Bob Ice... I can't wait for his performance.
Posted by: MrandMrsevans | May 07, 2008 at 09:44 PM
Alanis says she's bi now. I couldn't quite figure out what Ryan Reynolds was doing w her in the first place.
Posted by: Lesley | May 07, 2008 at 09:44 PM
Bo's best song? The theme song from "Blades of Glory".
Posted by: MrandMrsevans | May 07, 2008 at 09:45 PM
Bo Bice = Jeezus, except he wouldn't turn water into wine, he'd turn it into Schlitz
Posted by: Lane | May 07, 2008 at 09:46 PM
You think if I dressed up like Squeaky Fromme, let my hair get all stringy and greasy, BoBIce would hire me as a backup singer to his Manson Family Band?
Posted by: Lesley | May 07, 2008 at 09:46 PM
Bob Ice Comes Alive!
Posted by: MrandMrsevans | May 07, 2008 at 09:47 PM
Bob Loblaw > Bob Ice
Posted by: Lane | May 07, 2008 at 09:47 PM
Bo sounds like every other live band that plays at Sloppy Joe's or Captain Tony's in Key West.
Posted by: Lesley | May 07, 2008 at 09:47 PM
I love Bo Bice. He's so humble and down to earth (seemingly anyway)
Posted by: Lesley | May 07, 2008 at 09:50 PM
Marlins domin8ing Brewers, about to close it out
Posted by: Lane | May 07, 2008 at 09:50 PM
remember Josiah?
Posted by: Lane | May 07, 2008 at 09:53 PM
oh no, Ace from Idol guests on Bones?
Posted by: Lesley | May 07, 2008 at 09:54 PM
I wudnt blow a gasket cuz I wud not be surprised. The voting in everything has gone wrong these days!
Posted by: HoCo | May 07, 2008 at 09:54 PM
what happened to josiah? and yes, HoCo, I remember In A Dream by Bo...that was amazing.
Posted by: Lesley | May 07, 2008 at 09:55 PM
Syesha is such a phony
:barf:
Posted by: Lane | May 07, 2008 at 09:56 PM
ok syesha so didn't need to bring up politics...but glad she's staying!!
Posted by: Lesley | May 07, 2008 at 09:56 PM
Yes I remember josiah..
Posted by: MrandMrsevans | May 07, 2008 at 09:57 PM
i still think jar jar is adorable.
Posted by: Lesley | May 07, 2008 at 09:58 PM
haha ! they killed the deputy!! he is so vapid
Posted by: Lane | May 07, 2008 at 10:00 PM
Mrs. E. is a huge Jar Jar fan.Can we eliminate Syesha next week? YES WE CAN!
Posted by: MrandMrsevans | May 07, 2008 at 10:00 PM
Until next week, y'all!
Posted by: Lesley | May 07, 2008 at 10:01 PM
I'd love to see Syesha win the whole thing! That would be such a cool upset! She's the only one I can stomach now.
As for the politics, syesha's' comment that a change is gonna come cuz we might have a woman president or a black president just might not come to pass. We'll probably get another old white man president!
