And Then There Were Eleven. . .

David Cook opened the show with “Jumpin’ Jack Flash”. It was great to see him again, and he totally slayed it with that performance. He’s as talented as ever and I still enjoy hearing him perform.

The first Ford commercial of the year was not the worst I’ve ever seen. Poor Casey missed the filming due to the flu.

I’m admitting right here that I fast-forward through most of the drivel on the results shows; I simply want to know who stays and who goes, without the rehashing of comments, etc. from the performance show.

Page is immediately sent to “the stools” as the first person in the Bottom 3.

Lee is safe.

Siobhan is safe.

Aaron is safe.

Andrew and Tim are asked to stand up together (ooooh, the suspense of it all) and Andrew is declared safe; Tim is sent to “the stools” as the second person in the Bottom 3.

Some breakout “star”, Orianthi, performed a song. I fast-forwarded again.

Didi is safe.

Crystal is safe.

Katy is safe.

Michael is safe.

Lacey and Casey are asked to stand up together; Casey is safe and Lacey is sent “to the stools” as the final member of the Bottom 3 this week.

Tim is safe.

Ke$ha (John Mayer’s Twitter crush) performed a fully taped, lip-synced version of her latest hit, “Blah, Blah, Blah”. I like the song she sings about gargling with Jack Daniels, and might like this one if I heard it on the radio, but didn’t enjoy seeing it done.

Lacey is declared “in danger”, sings “I was Made for You” in hopes that the judges will use their once-a-season “save card”, but is quickly and unceremoniously told by Simon that they unanimously decided she’s not worth keeping.

So, no surprises for me so far. As I do every year, I hope the show gets more interesting, maybe a couple of kids will break out and start becoming real stars, maybe a few already established at the top of the list will flounder.

Just hoping the show gets more interesting than it is right now.
