Tonight’s show is definitely a nail-biter because this is the show that will give us our final three contestants. After last night’s train wreck for Jason Castro (both of his performances were unbelievably bad), and Randy making Syesha cry, it’s anybody’s guess who’s actually going home tonight. Historically, Syesha has almost always been in the bottom two, even when she didn’t deserve to be there. But now that most of the contestants are gone, and she’s clearly better than the worst contestant left, Jason Castro should be going home. If there’s any justice left in the world, that is.
Of course, Jason and Syesha are determined to be in the bottom two, a familiar place for Syesha, I’m sure.
Some AI fans get to ask the remaining cast a few questions. David Cook is lucky enough to talk to a fan from Pittsburgh, PA who asks him out on a date when they tour in Pittsburgh. An awkward moment for Cook, for sure. Simon is asked why the Queen hasn’t knighted him yet. There was also a performance from Maroon 5 – a really hysterical performance with the lead singer, Adam Levine, singing in such a high falsetto that I wondered if only dogs could hear him. Really funny. I give him a D. Oh, that’s right, we’re not supposed to judge the guest stars. Oh, well, I’m sorry; he sucked.
Next, we’re blessed with a performance by former Idol contestant Bo Bice. Bo, he of the long rocker hair, has an album coming out so he sang “Witness”, a selection from his album. Bo did a great job, reminding us how super-talented he was; back when people who were really talented made it into the top ten of AI. He played guitar and belted out that song like we remember him. I really liked Bo, and American Idol has indeed, been good to him. You go, Bo Bice! He definitely deserves an A+!
Now, on to eliminations. We’re reminded of how horrible Jason’s performance was – and, predictably of course, he is sent home. Finally. Thank God! Jason said that he felt his inexperience was starting to become obvious, as evidenced by his difficulty remembering lyrics. Jason is clearly as relieved to be going home as we are to see him go. He even said he didn’t think he could have handled next week – they have to sing three songs. Jason, I can’t actually say you’ll be missed, but you were definitely interesting.
Now, down to the final three – Syesha and the Davids. The competition heats up!
