50/50 This Time

I got a little better this week. I picked 2 of the 4 people heading home. And I don't agree with the other 2 people that got sent home at all.

Not that I ever watch the show live anymore, but last night I was actually out in the world. I was watching former Idolette, Constantine Maroulis, in ROCK OF AGES. I never had any desire to see this show because it just seemed like it would be a waste of time for me. But then I saw their performance on the Tony Award broadcast last year...and I admit that I was a bit intrigued. So I finally bought a discounted ticket. And I got exactly what I expected from the show. It was ridiculous, but in a very fun way. And you really can't dispute that the music is pretty amazing...since it's all the songs that people my age grew up with. So if you love the 80's, rock stars and strippers...you should see this. You will have a great night out.



This week, the group number was the Black Eyed Peas' "I Got a Feeling." These group numbers just seem to get worse every season...and every week for that matter. Some of the Idolettes didn't even pretend to lip-synch on this one. They just didn't even bother. So ridiculous.



They brought back Danny Gokey to sing for us because he has a CD out (I saw it at Target today for under $8). I watched about 30 seconds of his performance before I hit the FFWD button. I still don't like him.



The first elimination comes down to Todrick Hall and John Park. I didn't pick either of these boys to go home this week...but I don't really like that Todrick (I think his name is stupid too). Randy thought that both of them had lost themselves along the way and that they haven't seen the guys that they saw in their first auditions (as if Randy can remember back that far). So of course, John Park is eliminated first. He sang his song again...but as usual, I didn't listen to it.

Continuing with the boys, it comes down to Andrew Garcia and Jermaine Sellers (who I picked to leave this week...and last week). Ellen doesn't want to say who she thinks will be sent home, so she just says that she likes both of them. But in the end, Jermaine is out of there. And he sings...but I don't listen (or care).

The first girl elimination is up next. And it's down to Didi Benami (one of my picks this week) and Michelle Delacor. Kara loves Michelle, but after watching a tape of the show thinks that Michelle was sharp and will probably be out of there. And she is right...Michelle is sent home. I will say that she did what the judges asked her to do...and she got sent home for it. Way to go!!! I didn't listen to her sing again.

Our last elimination of the night comes down to Haeley Vaughn (my pick) and Lacey Brown. Simon thinks that everyone knows who's going home so he won't even say who he thinks will be leaving. And with that, Haeley gets the boot. She sang her song (which I didn't watch) after the montage (which I watched only to listen to the exit song again).



I'll be back next week for the last round of elimination...and finally we will have a Top 12 and those wonderful themes that they come up with each week.
