3.8.12

What's wrong with my blog?
Every time I view this blog, it re-direct me to http://kunoichi.info/  :((

what the hell happen??




Everyone should by now knows who the winner of American Idol Season 11 is.  I was still disappointed with the result hence the late of posting.

By watching the performance at the finale, especially the duet with Jennifer Holliday, Jessica Sanchez by far is much qualified to be the winner.  But 135 millions votes came in and it favored to Phillip Phillips.  Whatever!

Let's see how it goes next season.

In the mean time, enjoy Jessica Sanchez and Jennifer Holliday performing "And I am Telling You I'm Not Going"






Two finalists took the Nokia Theater's stage.  With 7000 live fans cheering for their idols.  I was as nervous as the contestants :)

Jessica Sanchez (16) and Phillip Phillips (21) performed three songs each.  The first songs chosen by Simon Fuller, the second songs were the idols' favourites and the third songs were original songs written for them.

Round One

Jessica (I Have Nothing by Whitney Houston)
- I have no idea why Fuller chose this song.  This song has been done over and over again in Idol.  But Jessica nailed it, no doubt.

Phillip (Stand By Me by Ben E. King)
- Ridiculous!  Fuller chose a hard song for Jessica and a simple song for Phillip.  But never mind.  This song sounds boring by Phillip.  He was done less than two minutes!

WINNER : Jessica

Round Two

Jessica (The Prayer by Celine Dion)
- I almost forgot that this song belongs to Celine Dion!  This means, how good Jessica is.  Flawless!

Phillip (Moving Out by Billy Joel)
- If I'm telling you the truth, I am done with Phillip with his guitar!  I can't even remember how he sounded.  All I know is, he was performing with his guitar with gray or brown or black shirts.

WINNER : Jessica

Round Three

Jessica (Change Nothing)
- There's nothing wrong with this song!  I like it.  Of course when we first heard it as it is the first time performed live, it sounds weird but I tell you, in no time, everyone will like it. By the way, they didn't reveal who wrote this song, or did they?

Phillip (Home)
- I know why they give this song to him.  They probably predict him to win this competition and next year, this song would become the contestants goodbye song.  But like I said, there was nothing change in his performance.  Same old Phillip!  

WINNER : Jessica

There you go.  Am I bias? No.  Look again their performances and you will agree with me.  Jessica won it all.  BUT, I know they love Phillip ~ the producers, the judges, the mentor.

Fingers crossed, hopefully, I won't get disappointed again this year.  I'm done with contestants who depend too much with their guitar (David Cook, Kris Allen, Lee DeWyze, Scotty McNeery to name a few).  And one of the most disappointing finale was in season 8.  It should be won by Adam Lambert!

So, once and for all, let it be a GIRL this time, please.  And that would be JESSICA SANCHEZ!!!

My last note
I hope the producers forbid the judges to make a standing ovation during the finale next time.  It doesn't seem right.  They should forbid the judges to make prediction too.  I hate it.


Joshua is the first called by Ryan.  Iovine agreed with me.  There shouldn't be a standing ovation to his first performance.

Then, we saw a segment of Ice Age.  Followed by a boring performance from Lisa Marie Presley.  

Jessica is the next one.  Iovine admitted her first and third song were a mistake.  And who picked them?  The very professional people themselves!

Adam performed his new song, "Never Close Our Eyes".  A superb performance.  Can't get enough.  How nice if he sang two songs just like Coldplay did before.  I was very much disappointed too coz Ryan didn't interview him!

It was Phillip's turn being called to the centre stage.  Jimmy liked his own song choice for Phillip.  That lullaby song??  Oh no!

After the commercial break, it was time for the result.  I don't care who the other one, but all I want is Jessica.  And what a relieved when Ryan announced Jessica is in the final!  The other one is Phillip.  Not so surprising coz I know the girls love him.


There you are, the results revealed.  It would be Jessica versus Phillip.

I am hoping for an entertaining finale!

Round 1 (Judges Selections)

Joshua (I'd Rather Go Blind by Etta James - picked by Randy)
- Surprise! Surprise!  He got another standing ovation from the judges.  I saw JLo reluctant to stand though.  To me, it was just okay.  Nothing to wow about.

Jessica (My All by Mariah Carey - picked by JLo)
- I think JLo is trying to murder her by choosing this song for her.  I heard Jessica out of breath and she was munching her words.

Phillip (Beggin' by Madcon - picked by Steven)
- Not bad at all.

Round 2 (Idols Own Choice)

Joshua (Imagine by John Lennon)
- I prefer David Archuleta's.

Jessica (I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing by Aerosmith)
- She got standing ovation from Steven himself.  It means, she did well.  

Phillip (Disease by Matchbox Twenty)
- I can't differentiate between the first song and this one.  It's the same to me.  But this one is boring.

Round 3 (Jimmy Iovine's Choice)

Joshua (No More Drama by Mary J. Blige)
- He had fun means he went all out with this song.  He should get standing ovation for this one and not the first song!

Jessica (I'll Be There by Jackson 5)
- Poor Jessica.  I didn't like it especially the low note.  Oh Jimmy, you really let me down.  Why oh why did you choose this song for her.  First, JLo with her choice and now Jimmy!  Is there no justice?  Or is this conspiracy??

Phillip (We've Got Tonight by Bob Seger)
- I agree with JLo.  It was a lullaby song and truthfully, I dozed off.  I was so nervous looking for him rubbing his leg.  Weird!  Is he so nervous??  

So, who is going to the finale?  Do you want a girl to win this time?  Then it would be Jessica.  Do you want another David Cook, Kris Allen or Scotty McCreery?  Then it would be Phillip. Or do you want another Taylor Hicks?  Then it would be Joshua.

My predictions is Joshua and Jessica.  Phillip can leave the competition anytime as they always say, many records would sign him up.

Tomorrow, we have Adam Lambert.  Oh yeah!  Go Adam!



So happy for couple, Dave and Rachel Brown.  They won the title of The Amazing Race 20 and of course the USD 1million!

It began when they traveled from India to Japan.  I was almost certain that they won't be in the final three when they missed the earlier ferry to an island.  But lucky for them, the teams won't get the clue until sunrise.  After they did the Roadblock and Detour, Dave and Rachel arrived at the pit stop first.  It was their seventh wins!  It means, they tied records made by teams in Seasons 13 & 15.  Vanessa and Ralph were eliminated.

The final three continued their race to Hawaii.  Dave and Rachel almost messed up their chances.  They arrived at the pit stop without doing the Roadblock.  Phil asked them to go back and finished their tasks first.  I think they were the first team who arrived at the final pit stop who didn't complete their tasks!  But somehow or rather, they went back and over took Art and JJ at the Roadblock.  After completing all the tasks they proceeded to the pit stop and announced by Phil as the official winner of The Amazing Race season 20!  This win made them the first team holds most win in this race which is, eight!

Art and JJ finished second and Brendon & Rachel came third.  

Bring it on ~ The Amazing Race Season 21!!



Almost 70 millions voted.  Crazy!

Ryan called the remaining four one by one to the centre of the stage.  First, it was Phillips.  Jimmy Iovine was all in praise of him.  He was sent back to the couch which Phillips misunderstood for a while.  He thought he was already safe but actually not.  Ryan, your game is sucks!

Then, it was Hollie's turn.  Iovine said, she was crashed and burned!

David Cook performed "The Last Song I'll Write for You".  Funny, Ryan didn't interview him.

After Cook's performance, Ryan called Joshua.  Iovine didn't like his first song but thought his second song was something special.

Finally, Ryan called Jessica.  Again, Iovine didn't like her first song but said it was flawless and she murdered it on her second song.

JLO performed "Dance Again".  Did you all see her toy boy?  Trying to be romantic eh?

And then, the results.  Top three will be going home as hero and one is going home for good.  The first one who is safe is Jessica, followed by Joshua and Phillips.  That's the end of the road for Hollie.

We would be able to watch the top three homecoming.  I like this part.  And if they still using the same method, the three judges will choose songs for the top three to perform.  Let's see what would they be.

The top four were like performing for their dear life.  Who is going home for good and who is going for homecoming?

Round 1
Phillip (Have You Ever Seen The Rain by Credence Clearwater Revivial)
- I like this song but this is not the kind of song to be performed when you are in top four!

Hollie (Faithfully by Journey)
- I think Hollie did a great job.  She didn't over do it.

Joshua (You Raise Me Up by Josh Groban)
- I think I heard him shaky.  Over done.

Jessica (Steal Away by Etta James)
- She did just fine.

Phillip and Joshua (This Love by Maroon 5)
- Not bad.  I love Maroon 5.  I love all their songs.  I love Adam Lavine :) 

Jessica and Hollie (Eternal Flame by The Bangles)
- Another great song.  I think they did ok except for the swinging part.  I was distracted.

Phillip, Hollie, Joshua, Jessica (I've Been Waiting for a Girl Like You by Foreigner)
- Not bad at all.  

Round 2
Phillip (Volcano by Damien Rice)
- I am not familiar with this song but I think he did a good job.

Hollie (I Can't Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raitt)
- Maybe she swallowed too much praise for her first performance.  She was too emotional which didn't help.  This could hurt her.

Joshua (It's Man's Man's Man's World by James Brown)
- Same old Joshua.  There's no difference from his previous performances.  We know he had a big voice but it was quite boring if you performed almost the same every week.

Jessica (And I'm Telling You by Jennifer Holliday)
- Wow!  A lifetime performance!  The right moment to pull a song like that.

I forgot how Ryan do it when it was Top Four.  Bottom two?  If it is, then my bottom two would be:

Phillip
Hollie

It should be Phillip going home but if the teens are still voting for him then I'm afraid, Hollie is going home for good.


First, Ryan called Joshua to the centre stage.  After all the reviews and the comments Jimmy Iovine, Ryan announced that he is safe.

Coldplay performed.  I didn't like it.  I heard them like out of tune or could it be the song is meant to be heard like that?

Next, Ryan called Hollie and Phillip.  I was so certain that Phillip is safe coz I get used to see Hollie in the bottom three.  My prediction is absolutely spot on.  But at least, Jimmy Iovine agreed with me that Ryan should be in the bottom.  His fan base is so strong!

Carrie Underwood performed "Blown Away".  I was so scared that her dress 'blown away' and reveal her flesh!  It was really distracting!

Then, it was Jessica and Skylar's turned to be called.  All I wanted is Jessica to be safe.  And she was.  Skylar joined Hollie in the bottom two.

Coldplay performed again, and this time it was better than the first song.

The result I've been waiting for.  Skylar is going home!  I felt a burden shed from my shoulders.  I just don't care whether Jessica can win this or not.  All I wanted was, Skylar to go before Jessica LOL.  But who knows, Jessica might be in the final two and win the competition.  If she did, then she would be the first eliminated contestant, saved by the judges and win!  Cross-fingers ;)

My next target to be sent home is Phillip! 


Vannessa & Ralph        Brendon & Rachel

Rachel & Dave                   Art & JJ

I actually never miss watching The Amazing Race Season 20 but I just don't have enough time to do review.  All I can say is, tasks this season are very much tough and tiring.  Like previous seasons, there are also allies and enemies among the teams.

Out of 11 teams.  Four teams left.  Which team would be in the final three?   Could it be Vanessa & Ralph, or Brendon & Rachel, or Dave & Rachel or Art & JJ?  Vanessa & Ralph are the rivals of Brendon & Rachel  Dave and Rachel making ally with Art & JJ in the first place but there was a misunderstanding between these two teams during the double u-turn.  Allies broke up and they became rivals.

Of the four teams, I hope Dave & Rachel would win this. The two-hour finale will be tomorrow on AXN which begins at 7.05pm.

Stay tuned!

I didn't catch the Top 5 performance last night.  Went for a movie "The Avengers".  So no review, until I saw the repeat.

Anyway, I would like to make a guess who would land in bottom three.  This guess is based on popularity only.

My guess would be:

Hollie
Skylar
Jessica

Phillip should go home but I can see he is still so strong at the top.  So, if my bottom three really happen, it could be Skylar or Jessica going home.  I just hope NOT Jessica!

Carrie Underwood and Coldplay will perform tonight.

Check out on Adam Lambert's Twitter!  This is the greatest news, so far in American Idol Season 11!  I can't wait!!  Let Adam show the idolettes how to perform!






During the elimination results, Ryan announced 58 millions came in!!  That's actually the judges wanted.  Vote your favorites.  Vote the best.  They actually want money!

Let's go straight to the results.

Ryan called them in pair.  The first pair was Jessica and Elise.  Jessica is safe and Elise is not.  Season 10 finalist, Stefano Langone performed.  Not bad :)

Next pair was, Joshua and Hollie.  Joshua to couch.  Hollie to stool.  Katy Perry performed with her "Part of Me".  Energetic performance.

The last pair was, Phillip and Skylar.  As expected, Phillip sent for safety and Skylar to the bottom three.  One minute after that, Ryan sent Skylar to the couch.  Leaving Hollie and Elise at the center stage.

And, Elise was sent home!


It's almost 10pm and I'm tired and sleepy.  Again, I'll be brief.  12 songs performed tonight, so here it goes.

The first round was Queen's songs.

I love the opening performance. but nothing compared to what "Adam Lambert & Chris Allen done before.  Sue me for being bias hahaha

Jessica (Bohemian Rhapsody)
- I just love her voice.  Familiar song with good energy from Jessica.  I kinda like it.

Skylar (The Show Must Go On)
- It was like watching rehearsal!

Joshua (Crazy Little Thing Called Love)
- I'm beginning to get bored with him.  Same performance every week.

Elise (I Want It All)
- Honestly, when I heard they will doing Queen tonight, my thought goes to Elise.  Of all the six, I think she is the only one who really nailed it.

Phillip (Fat Bottomed Girls)
- Without his guitar again this time but, I don't know, I have mixed feelings with his performance.  Maybe Randy is right.

Hollie (Save Me)
- Not only during her performance but all of them, I noticed that the live band and the backup singers are too loud.  I nearly couldn't hear Hollie singing.  She was struggling!

Done with first round and I think the winner is Elise.  The judges gave a standing O to Joshua but JLO chose Skylar as the winner which was supported by Steven  Isn't that weird?

The 2nd round was the Idolettes' favourites.

Jessica (Dance With My Father Again)
- This is my first time listening to this song and guess what, she sang it like I heard it many times already!  Flawless.

Skylar (Tattoos on This Town)
- She tried it again with the guitar.  But no, it's not the same before.  I didn't like it.  I think I agree with Steven here.

Joshua (Ready for Love)
- I can't see why he always get standing ovation from the judges.  And he was given, the biggest promo from the judges.  Do they know what we didn't know?  Like, he always get less votes from the rest, perhaps?  He screeched too much!

Elise (Bold as Love)
- Do you agree with me if I said, she looks like Mariah Carey? :)  I still prefer her first performance than this one.

Phillip (The Stone)
- What was that??  Odd.  Weird.  If not of his popularity he can easily go home tomorrow.  And who was the girl Ryan pointed out?  Phillip's girlfriend?

Hollie (The Climb)
- ok. ok. she did well with this one but is it enough?

I pick Jessica to win this second round.

My bottom three are
Phillip
Joshua
Elise

(oh dear, did I just choose both guys? well, it's ok.  I think Elise might go.  Not because she was the weakest but because of less votes for her.  I hope not Jessica coz after Colton, she is the reason I watch American Idol.  She really can sing, and that's the reason me liking her)

My last note:
why did JLO given more time to criticize?  sometimes, when it was Randy's turn, she still keep on talking.  sometimes when Ryan asked Randy or Steven's opinion, it was she who do the talking!  Next time, we need judges who can really give critiques like Jimmy Iovine & Simon Cowell!  I had enough of the pretentious judges! 



Sue me now for saying America teenagers would vote for Colton! I know Colton was the weakest of all last night and I even predicted that he would land in bottom three but I thought, the girls would vote for him. They didn't obviously! Too bad. I thought Colton would be in the finals with Philip [don't get me wrong here, I mentioned Philip because the girls love him so I'm sure he would be in the finals].

After tonight, I am now very sure, American Idol is so desperate to have a girl to win this time. Look back guys. The last time a girl win this was in Season 6 and that was Jordin Sparks. So, how desperate they are?

Let's go to tonight's elimination show.

We heard Ryan announced 53 millions vote came in. That's a lot of money! Then the top 7 Idols sang "Dancing in The Streets". Urgh! never heard of this song. I am so way behind :)

Joshua and Hollie called first. It was easy to guess. Joshua is safe and Hollie is not.

Kris Allen [Kris who?] performed which introduced by another former winner of Idol, Taylor Hicks. While watching him singing, I'm still thinking, how and why this guy won the American Idol. Give me Adam Lambert!!!

Next, Ryan called Skylar and Elise. And again, it was easy to guess. Yes, you are right. Skylar is safe and Elise was sent to join Hollie.

And then, a tribute to Dick Clark. Oh please forgive me, I don't know him at all.

LMFAO performed 'Sorry for Party Rocking'. Did I hear them out of tune? Oh, never mind!

Let's continue with the result. The last three were called, Colton, Philip and Jessica. First, Jessica is safe. Leaving Colton and Philip, which to me they already planned it that way. They used to compare this two guys which Colton hated it. Philip is safe and for the first time, Colton landed in bottom three [what a way to land in bottom three and immediately sent home].

Oh dear Colton, why in the first place you took Lady Gaga's song?! I never like this so called Lady! There's a reason for that. I won't mention it here because it is too sensitive. But I give you a hint ~ Religion?

Hollie, Elise and Colton. Who is going home? Elise sent for safety. I think by looking at Hollie, she is so ready to leave. But no, it was not going to happen. America loves Colton so much and they can't wait till May for him to leave the American Idol. So, there you go America, Colton is all yours :)

To make amends for his 'sins' [for singing Lady Gaga's song last night], Colton dropped to his knees and sang his religious song, "Everything". You are forgiven Colton! Next time, don't take Lady Gaga's songs!

Next week, two guys left and four girls to perform.

I attended a course on Corruption, Fraud and Integrity today and I'm officially tired! But still I managed to catch the American Idol Top 7 performances and truly, I was not enjoying them :( Except for a few, the rest were just 'shouting' to me and they were giving me more headaches! Since I'm tired and sleepy, I'll be very brief on my opinion tonight's performances.

The 1st round:

Hollie (Rolling in The Deep by Adele)
- Ok. I was entertained :)

Colton (Bad Romance by Lady Gaga)
- I disconnected from him.

Elise (No One by Alicia Keys)
- Good job.

Phillips (You Got It Bad by Usher )
- B o r i n g! (Furthermore, I changed channel to watch Justin Bieber in 'The Voice', giving us a glimpse of her 'Boyfriend' video clip.

Jessica (Falling by Alicia Keys)
- OK because I familiar with the song.

Skylar (Born This Way by Lady Gaga)
- I missed her performance because I was watching Blake Shelton in 'The Voice' choosing on one of his teams to the semifinals. But again, I'm sure Skylar was doing good.

Joshua (I Believe by Fantasia)
- I missed the earlier part because I was still on AXN. But I saw the judges gave him a standing O, so he probably did well.

The 2nd round:

Hollie (Son of a Preacher Man by Dusty Springfield)
- Average.

Colton (September by Earth, Wind & Fire)
- Better than the first song.

Elise (Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye)
- Trying so hard!

Phillip (In The Midnight Hour by Wilson Pickett)
- This is I want from Phillip. Disconnect from his guitar! I like it.

Jessica (Try a Little Tenderness by Otis Redding)
- She was pushing too hard!

Skylar (I Heard it Through the Grapevine by Marvin Gaye)
- I almost doze off at this time - because I'm so damn tired. I was not concentrating. All I can say is, come on. Finish it. I wanna go and take my shower!

Joshua (A Change is Gonna Come by Sam Cooke)
- I like the beginning of the song but when he stretched his vocals , I said, oh no, not again! I have enough headache already :(

My bottom three are:

Colton
Elise
Jessica

But I'm sure America is loving Colton, so it could be Hollie. Though Joshua gets TWO standing O from the judges, I have this feeling that he will land on bottom 3 again. It's not because you were good but it's about, do the fans voted for you?

Anyway I have this freaky feeling that Jessica will go home tomorrow night.

It was all dramatized. It was chaos!

The judges said, “America got it all wrong!”


And I said, “No, America didn’t get it wrong. America wanted this girl out”. There is no way this girl can survive to the final, what’s more to win the American Idol. This is “AMERICAN IDOL” remember? It’s not ASIAN IDOL or PHILIPPINES IDOL or SPANISH IDOL! A little bit of racist? Maybe :)


Let’s recap what happened during the Top 7 elimination.


First, Ryan called Hollie and Jessica. After all the comments where we heard Jimmy Iovine agreed with me :) Ryan sent Hollie to the left of the stage to form a group and Jessica on the right.


The next duo called out was, Phillip and Elise. Happy to hear Jimmy’s comment on Phillip. He is getting boring every week. If not because of his looks, I think he has long gone. Phillip was sent to join Hollie and Elise to Jessica.


Ryan then called Colton and Joshua. Ryan asked Colton when could he get a standing ovation from the judges which Colton answered, “I really don’t know!” True enough, it was only him who didn’t get a standing o from the judges. But believe me, standing o is nothing. What important is the fans’ votes for you! After we heard all the comments, Ryan sent Colton to Phillip and Hollie’s group and Joshua to Elise and Jessica's group.


Skylar was the last one called. As I already predicted Ryan's game, Skylar was safe and was asked to choose which group should she join. I think this game is already outdated. Nobody is playing with Ryan's game. In the end, Ryan guided Skylar to the safe group and that was Hollie, Philip and Colton's group.


The bottom three were Joshua, Elise and Jessica. When asked by Ryan, Steven Tyler revealed, "we are definitely will use our save vote tonight" Bummer! At this time, I suspected that everything is all planned before hand. Then, Joshua was sent for safety. It was now between Elise and Jessica.


When Ryan announced Jessica is about to leave the competition, everybody seemed genuinely shocked except for the judges though. They were all acting! When Jessica asked to sing for her dear life, the judges stopped her and Randy announced they will use their save vote for her. Chaos happened after that.


Of all the six Idols, Skylar seemed unhappy. The rest were all smiling and happy for Jessica except Skylar. I'm not sure whether I'm the only one who sees that but I'm very sure, she was not happy at all. I hope she would go next before Jessica. Oh yes, I'm very sure Jessica won't make it to the finals. America will vote for truly and genuinely American even though Randy beg them to vote for the best. This is not about the best anymore. This is about America. Whatever!


James Durbin and Jennifer Hudson at least cool me down that night :)

Tonight, the Idols sang songs from year 2010 til now. Let's see how did they do, in my opinion.

Skylar (Didn't You Know How Much I Love You by Kellie Pickler)
- As we know she is so into Country so she has no trouble at all delivering Pickler's song.

Colton (Love The Way You Lie by Skylar Gray)
- Everytime he performed with the piano, he did well. I like the way he bring this song.

Jessica (Stuttering by Jazmine Sullivan)
- No doubt she has big and flawless voice. But I was distracted when she always looked down. She forgot the camera/audience especially audience at home. She almost missed the piano when she sat down to end her performance so, another distraction for me.

Joshua (Runaway Baby by Bruno Mars)
- Bruno Mars is one of my favourite singer this era and I love all his songs. I think Joshua was having fun and he did good. But a standing ovation from the judges? Ridiculous!

Hollie (Perfect by Pink)
- At first she was doing alright. But when she hit the high note, I can sense big trouble. And for the first time, the audience didn't make a noise even when Randy gave his criticism. Randy said, it was weird when everybody is so quiet :)

Phillip (Give a Little More by Maroon 5)
- He was the weakest among all. I tell you, nothing change. If not for the teenagers voting for him, he could go home tomorrow night!

Elise (You and I by Lady Gaga)
- A copy cat performance from Gaga. She did well but nothing to wow about. It was just like watching Gaga performed in Elise body LOL!

The Duet

Phillip & Elise (Somebody That I Used to Know by Gotye)
- I like the song even though Phillip doesn't like it :)

Colton & Skylar (Don't You Want to Stay by Jason Aldean & Kelly Clarkson)
- Colton is 'buried' by Skylar! And I tell you, Skylar will be in trouble due to the gossip that these two is dating. Colton's fans won't like, that's for sure!

Joshua, Hollie & Jessica (What's Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger by Kelly Clarkson)
- The weakest duet! I can't believe it when their pitch were all over. No chemistry at all!

My bottom three (if they do bottom three tomorrow night)

Phillip
Skylar
Hollie

By the way, James Durbin and Jennifer Hudson are performing tomorrow! Can't wait for James :p


American Idol is so desperate to have a girl as a winner because the guy is sent home one by one and the judges had no interest to save them. Now we have four girls versus three boys.

Let's see what happened during the elimination night:

Firstly, we were told that Joshua is not feeling well. Then, another promo from one of the judges. A new video from JLo. All I can say is, too much flesh!

Ryan this time called the Idols in pair. Joshua and Jessica were called to the centre stage. Both are safe. A group called The Wanted performed. Not bad.

Next, Colton and Skylar were called. But before Ryan announced who is safe and who isn't, he called another pair, DeAndre and Hollie. DeAndre was sent to the bottom three and Hollie joined him after that. Colton and Skylar are safe.

Former Idol, Kellie Pickler took the stage. She looks matured but I was never a fan of her.

Lastly, Phillip and Elise were called. As predicted, Phillip is safe and Elise joined the other two in bottom three. But soon after that Ryan sent Hollie for safety.

When asked by Ryan on the bottom two, JLo said, America had been half right! How biased she sounded. I was waiting who ever eliminated, whether the judges would use the save vote. It was DeAndre and they didn't save him. Meaning, DeAndre is the half right and Elise is the half wrong. The judges are sucks! How could they give comments like that. And I already know that if Elise landed in the bottom again, the judges will save her!

I managed to catch the Idols performances on Youtube. And this is my brief opinion.

DeAndre Brackensick (I Like It by Debarge)
- I love it.

Elise Testone (I Want to Know What Love Is by Foreigner)
- Struggling.

Phillip Phillips (That's All by Genesis)
- Boring. The guitar, the gray shirts and the performance)

Joshua Ledet (If You Don't Know Me By Now by Simply Red)
- Predictable.

Jessica Sanchez (How Will I know by Whitney Houston)
- I tend to compare her with Whitney and she has a lot work to do. But nice try though.

Hollie Cavanagh (What a Feeling by Irene Cara)
- Pitch issue.

Colton (Time After Time by Cyndi Lauper)
- Rough and I didn't like it.

Skylar Laine (Wind Beneath My Wings by Bette Midler)
- She was trying hard but no, she isn't there yet.

My bottom three should be
Phillip
Hollie
Elise

and Hollie should go home. But America has decided to send DeAndre home first.

Who is next? Will the judges use their save vote next week? Let's find out.
