The Group song was okay, they are in more Unison then they were last week
The Ford Video this week used the song from OK Gos youtube song sensation using Treadmills "Here it goes again" with them having a water balloon
It was interesting that they featured "after the reject" showing what happens behind the scene after they send a contestant packing. Interesting that they didn't mention the Therapist available. So sad Micheal's baby thinks her daddy don't want to be with her anymore cause he is on the show...aww
They then dimmed the light and had Danny stand and gave him review then told him he was safe
Next Lil rounds was then told to stand and given her review then told after the nationwide review to sit down cause she was safe
LOL, she seemed honestly shocked because only Paula gave her a positive review and the others criticized her for not being herself
She did good, so I don't know why she was surprised
Anoop was then told to rise and given his review and after being told America voted he was told he was safe and to sit down
Ryan then asked Alison and Micheal to stand together and give them their reviews then pressured Paula to tell us who she thinks is bottom three
After some muttering and Simon encouraging her to "answer the Question"? (lucky he is English not Irish or he'd be adding an "exclamation" before Question...lol) she said probably Alison before complimenting her and babling about heading home
Ryan then sad "Alison, I can tell you, you are in the bottom 3"
Alison was honestly as surprised as Lil was saying "OMG" before embracing Micheal while the audience booed
Ryan then told Micheal he was also in the bottom three and the audience after telling him to stand back up with the audience going "awww"
During the half time Brad Paisley sang "Then" with the judges in the Chairs
Which is unusual cause Kelly got to sing first last week with the Judges there with the other performer doing his thing while the Judges go Poddy...lol
After the commercial break they told Scott to stand and gave him his review and Ryan up the stakes by telling him that if he is safe that he is going on tour with Scott saying "which I would love", and Ryan then responded "then pack your bags because you are safe"
Megan was then told her review was to "get better" (she's sick) cause you are going on tour
MAtt was then told to stand and given his review then told to sit cause he was safe
Kris then was told to stand and given his review before being told Welcome to the top 10
Alexis and Adam was then told to stand together and given their reviews and then Ryan put Randy on the spot in saying who he things is the bottom three and he said probably Alexis
Ryan then said that Alexis is in the bottom 3
Ryan then said he was going to relieve pressure on 1 person by sending 1 person back to safety and asked the audience who is that person....and while it was close in the muttering the audience correctly by majority was muttering Alison
Ryan then announced "Alison you are safe" with the majority of the audience cheering (Almost had a public outcry here)
After the break, while the judges and the Idols "went poddy" Carrie Underwood and Randy Travis sung "I told you so" after a tribute to Carrie Underwood and a little chit chat with Ryan. And for those wondering he didn't try to sing a Carrie Underwood song to Carrie like he did with Kelly last week...lol
After the song they went to Alexis and Micheal on the bottom 2 stools and then ask Simon if they used their save on either of the contestants and they said they would consider saving one of the bottom 2 if they are booted off
And with that they went to commercial break...lol
After the Nationwide vote of 31 million they told Micheal that he was safe and he honestly was surprised (So was I, I predicted he would be going home)
Simon then mentioned that they were considering using their save on her and it is all going to come down to this performance (No pressure)
They Ryan told her "this is what it is all about, give it your all, they'll be watching" (No pressure)
Seriously I voted for Alexis and not Micheal and predicted he be the one to go home and when they discussed the "Save option" I remember Simon not liking Micheal's performance but all the judges liking Alexis so figured they would consider using the save on her
I am now watching her perform on my HS2 pretty much the same way she did it yesterday, which I think is a bad Idea considering she was promising to "dirty it up" the next time she preformed
I don't think they are going to save her (as she sings her last words)
And the result is
"We're kinda unanimous on this(oh-oh), it was good but is Wasn't good enough
Sorry, it's the end of the line" - Simon
"You have a amazing life and career ahead of you,my dear,everything is going to change for you"- Paula
Me? I voted for her but her last chance to impress the Judges was even worst then yesterday's one, not better...poor thing
Next week the President is Preempting AI, again, so don't forget to reset your recorders to do Wed 2 hours 7-9 and Thurs 8-9 (or your related times)
is looking at the brighter side of things
I personally am glad that Alexis is gone! Thank goodness. She needed to go.
