Yay, another hour long results show last night. What's the point, really? There was so much useless filler that I wasn't even paying attention half the time.
An extra hour meant the return of the group song. Man, I sure missed those. Or not. The contestants butcher their way through "Bailamos" by Enrique Iglesias. I cringe when Haley and Sanjaya do their little duet. So that's what it sounds like when you put together two people who can't sing. No one told either of them that a duet meant they were to sing in the same key. At least Blake and LaKisha did better with their duet, and Blake isn't really that strong a singer.
Filler crap, Part One: Ryan interviews people on the street about what they thought about Tuesday's performances. Yawn.
Filler crap, Part Two: performance by Akon. Again? Wasn't he on the show just two weeks ago?
Of course we have the Ford ad. This week they rip off Michael Jackson's "Black or White" video. It was downright terrifying to watch Sanjaya morph into Melinda. Who knew that they looked so much alike?
Filler crap, Part three: more advertising for the upcoming "Idol Cares" special. Ryan again begs for money from companies.
Filler crap, Part four: dumb sketch with Tony Bennett "auditioning" in front of the judges (via the magic of clever editing!) and being rejected.
A half hour later, we finally get to the results. Phil is in the Bottom 3. What a shock. I did not see that coming *snicker*. LaKisha and Jordin are safe. Looks like the Dialidol results were WRONG. Melinda and Blake are obviously safe, but Haley takes her usual trip to the Bottom 3.
I then realize that she's wearing a long-sleeved shirt and pants. Perhaps it has something to do with Simon's comments to her about wearing as little as possible to distract the audience? Throughout this, Ryan tells Sanjaya to stand up and sit down twice. It was really stupid, annoying, and mean. I hate when Seacrest dicks around with the contestants like that. Finally, Chris is thrown in the bottom with Phil and Haley. But of course the show needs to kill some more time, which leads to...

So, Jenny from the Block will get Simon to his feet? I love it when my expectations are fulfilled.

Sean- Thanks! Can't wait till next week!
Amrita- Oh, did she? I don't recall. When, during her performance or after?

Oh well, now that "legs" is out I'll have to get focused again on the singing. At this point I have to go with Jordin to win it all with Blake as the runner up. Unless there is a voting SNAFU she will go all the way because she appeals to more than one audience. And yes, I can't wait to see what Sanjaya drags out on country week.
