Big Mike Saved By The Judges On American Idol

The judges on American Idol utilized the judges save tonight and saved Michael Lynche, aka Big Mike, from going home. It was a shocking moment when Ryan Seacrest announced that Andrew Garcia was safe and Big Mike would be singing for his life. The judges decision was unanimous, which was expected.

How in the world is Tim Urban still in the competition? He wasn’t even in the bottom three this week. If you’re voting for Tim Urban, please comment and tell us why. We’d really like to know what you see in Tim Urban.

Adam Lambert will return to Idol next week to mentor the top 8.

Adam Lambert To Mentor Top 8 Idols

Yesterday, Adam Lambert announced that he will be mentoring the Top 8 contestants on American Idol next week. Lambert will also perform his current single ‘Whataya Want From Me’ on Wednesday night’s results show.

“It’s true!” Lambert wrote on his Twitter page Tuesday. “In addition to performing on Idol April 14th, I will be mentoring the top 8 on the 13th. I feel honored to be asked.”

And, following the backlash of his scandalous performance at the American Music Awards, Lambert reassured everyone that nothing of the sort would happen on idol.

“Don’t worry America,” Lambert tweeted. “I will be beyond family friendly. Relax and enjoy. For Your Entertainment.”

Rihanna To Perform ‘Te Amo’ On American Idol Next Week

Rihanna will be performing on next week’s American Idol results show. According to Entertainment Weekly, the singer will be performing ‘Te Amo’ off of her current album, Rated R. It is unknown why Rihanna will not be performing her current chart-topping single ‘Rude Boy’, especially after she performed a family friendly version of ‘Rude Boy’ this past weekend at the Kids’ Choice Awards.

The remaining Idol contestants will take on the Lennon-McCartney songbook on Tuesday night.

Paige Miles Sent Home On Idol

Finally! I don’t understand how Paige Miles made it this for or why Simon claimed that she had one of the best female voices in the competition during Hollywood week. She sucks!

During last night’s show, the judges didn’t even let her sing to save herself. Their decision was unanimous when it was announced that she had the lowest votes this week.

The highlight of the show was Miley Cyrus’ performance of ‘When I Look At You’ from her upcoming film The Last Song. A lot of people don’t give Miley enough credit for her talent. Last night, she delivered a stellar performance worthy of praise.

New couple Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato were also on hand to perform their duet ‘Make A Wave’. The song is ok. I think the message is actually bigger than the song itself is. Sounds like Demi thinks she’s Christina Aguilera with all of those vocal runs.

Next week, Usher will be the guest mentor the contestants on R&B night.

Tim Urban needs to be the next to go. Who do you think will be going home next week?

Idol Recap: Top 12 Take On The Rolling Stones

Tonight the Top 12 contestants took their first steps onto the big Idol stage and the theme was The Rolling Stones. They all appear to have gotten a slight makeover and, interestingly, Katie led the group out. I little subliminal hint as to who the Idol producers want to win? I think so.

Michael Lynche – ‘Miss You’ – After last week’s performance, he had a lot to live up to. He started off having a little too much fun, but the vocals were a great way to kick off tonight’s show. I could have done without the dancing, though.

Didi Benami – ‘Play With Fire’ – Did she just flub up the song? I think so, but she recovered quickly. Girl brought an attitude tonight with this song and showed us a not so sweet and innocent side. She’s growing each week. As her vocals get more solid, I think we need to keep an eye on her.

Casey James – ‘It’s All Over Now’ – Casey rocked this song tonight. I may have given him a lot of crap for all of the cougar banter with Kara, but tonight, he proved that he’s got talent and star quality. The only thing that would have made this any better is if he had worked the stage instead of standing in the center the entire time.

Lacey Brown – ‘Ruby Tuesday’ – Did Kara say she agrees with the guys? But, Simon hasn’t spoken yet. Kara really is becoming Paula, she’s psychic now! I thought this was a great song choice for Lacey. The strings really complimented her voice. She had a great vocal moment about ¾ of the way through the song. But why does she always find a way to sit down?

Andrew Garcia – ‘Gimme Shelter’ – Not bad. I get nervous when he’s not playing his guitar. It’s obvious he’s a little uncomfortable without it. His arm movements were a little forced and funny. But he delivered a solid vocal, although he lacked the energy to really impress anyone. I’ve been rooting for him since Hollywood week like everyone else, but he’s getting lost in this competition. I really hope he sticks around, though, so we can hear more of his original style like we heard in ‘Straight Up’.

Katie Stevens – ‘Wild Horses’ – She’s just so darn cute, you want her to do well. And I think it’s obvious that the producers of Idol do to. Did you see those camera shots on her? They’re trying to make her look like a star. This was, by far, her best song choice since the competition started. She connected with the song and with the camera. Let’s hope she continues to climb from this point on. With all of the tween pop stars, Katie would fit right in. Now is her time if she plays her cards right.

Tim Urban – ‘Under My Thumb’ – Kara just did it again. She said she agrees with the guys when they haven’t both spoken yet. Unless she’s referring to Ellen as a guy. I mean she kind of looks like a boy, but she’s definitely a woman. While watching the #idol twitter feed, it’s obvious that girls are only voting for this guy because of his looks. What was up with his reggae inspired remix?

Siobhan Magnus – ‘Paint It Black’ – She’s so awkward and stiff, but her vocals are insane. How does she hit those notes! Her arrangement and interpretation of the song was very reminiscent of Adam Lambert. Great choice for her.

Lee Dewyze – ‘Beast Of Burden’ – Ok, it was solid, but so boring and completely forgettable.

Paige Miles – ‘Honky Tonk Woman’ – She’s still here? For the first time, I wasn’t completely appalled by her performance. Even with laryngitis, she delivered a strong vocal that reminded the judges why the kept her in the competition.

Aaron Kelly – ‘Angie’ – Thank God they actually styled his hair tonight. It’s refreshing to see someone so young know exactly what kind of artist he wants to be. The young girls already love him, so he definitely chose the right song tonight.

Crystal Bowersox – ‘You Can’t Always Get What You Want’ – There’s no denying that she’s incredible and clearly stands out from the rest of the contestants. When she’s performing, it’s like I’m not even watching Idol anymore. Sure, Siobhan had a great night, but Crystal delivers every week.

Were you surprised by anyone tonight? I still haven’t been completely blown away by anyone yet this season.

We’ll see who goes home tomorrow!

Idol Recap: Top 12 Results Show Shocks Us All

Oh what a night…

This season of American Idol is the most bizarre one, yet! I don’t understand what is going on this year with the lack of talented finalists. They simply do not compare to contestants from seasons past.

Tonight, the Top 12 were announced, which means 4 contestants were sent home. The results were nothing short of shocking. Lilly Scott, Katelyn Epperly, Alex Lambert, and Todrick Hall were eliminated.

How in the world did Paige Miles make it through? What a joke. I’ll stand by that remark until the night she actually delivers a solid, noteworthy performance. Until then, I’m in shock.

Poor Alex Lambert. Sure he lacked confidence, but he stood out for his unique vocal style. Sure, I hated his mullet, but if I closed my eyes, I enjoyed listening to his past 2 performances.

I don’t really care that Todrick’s gone. He annoyed me.

I thought Katelyn would last a little longer. You already know I’ve got a soft spot for anyone who plays the piano, but I thought she was talented.

Lilly was the ugly duckling of the competition. I think she was just too far out there for the Idol audience this year.

I’ll probably be in shock for a few more hours over tonight’s results.

Who do you think deserved to go home?

Danny Gokey Makes Impressive Country Debut

Season 8 American Idol contestant Danny Gokey just released his debut album, My Best Days, and debuted at #3 country album-sales chart. Gokey sold over 65,000 copies of his CD landing his album at #4 on the Billboard 200.

Taking first or second on Idol doesn’t mean anything anymore. Your appeal to the middle american consumer is what counts.

Congratulations!

Idol Says Goodbye to Haeley, Michelle, John, and Jermaine

I couldn’t be happier with this week’s Idol eliminations.

Goodbye to Haeley’s whiney, crackling voice. Michelle couldn’t even sing on key tonight. I knew the judges were on crack when they said she did well last night. John’s a cappella group got their wish and Jermaine can get back to rocking his onesie at home.

And what’s up with all the girls wearing feathers?
