Country night wasn't really royally messed up by anyone last night but that doesn't mean no one is leaving. Unless, of course, the judges use their veto.
Looking at the polls, it's not looking good for Alexis Grace. She's at the bottom of the polls everywhere but it appears as though Michael Sarver is the contestant most people would like to see leave first.
I wish you all the best,
Keep trying your best all, I hope you all do well.

Are they kidding? Is Adam Lambert the one who should win? YOU BETCHA! He is the most unique, the most talented, and frankly can make anything his own. That country song reminded me of Jim Morrison and the Doors and he made it his own with what he had to do. WAY TO GO.
It's Grand Ole Opry night on American Idol aka Country night. Our Idols are being coached by Randy Travis
this week.
Let's get into the show!

I thought that suited Michael really well.
Randy: That showed a fun side of you and bought out some good stuff for your vocals.
Kara: It was impressive that you managed to remember all those words.
Paula: That allowed us to see you having fun which meant we had fun. The harmonica player boosted your charm.
Simon: I couldn't understand a single word you sung. I thought it was a bit clumsy. On a scale of 1-10 I'd give it a 1.2.
I thought that was really good and again, suited her really well.
Randy: I didn't think it was precocious. I thought it was dope!
Kara: Who knew you could sing the alphabet. Every week you're getting better and better.
Paula: Another rock solid performance.
Simon: I thought it was good but it looked like you were struggling in parts.
I really like this performance by Kris.
Randy: I was like wow about the tender moments
Kara:
Paula: That was really nice and vulnerable. Overall I think it was a really smart choice to do this without your guitar.
Simon: I thought that was terrific. You were completely in control of the song and that was the first time I've thought you have a really good chance at doing well in this competition.
It was ok but nothing to write home about for me.
Randy: it was a very ambitious song choice.
Kara: I give you props for standing your ground.
Paula: It would have worked better if you had only done one verse.
Simon: That felt forced and uncomfortable.
What a star. This guy is so up for being original.
Randy: If you can imagine Nine Inch Nails doing a country song, that was it. HAWT!
Kara:
Paula: You're raising the bar each week and we're going to keep expecting great things out of you.
Simon: There are a lot of people throwing their TV sets out of the window and thought it was self indulgent rubbish.
I didn't really like that too much at all.
Randy: I'm looking for those hot vocals and I haven't seen that from you yet.
Kara: We want you to up your game and wow us but you bring class and poise to the American Idol stage.
Paula: The piano might be a bit of a crutch for you at the moment. I want you to mix it up so there is a connection.
Simon: I don't think you're picking good enough songs yet and I'm forgetting you afterwards.
I actually like version more than most idol performances of this song.
Randy: There was a bunch of pitch problems in there. It was a good song choice but it just didn't quite work for me.
Kara: I think you lost your edge a bit. I was missing the angst in you and it felt a little flat.
Paula: You took an artistic approach and I really enjoyed the vulnerable soft side of you.
Simon: I though it was ok and a little bit sound-alike. I didn't hear much originality and I don't think we'll remember that afterwards.
No surprise that Danny chose this song, really. It was ok but I really don't get what the major attraction with Danny is.
Randy: The problem with you and the verses is that you need to support them as much as you do the choruses.
Kara: When you hit your stride it's like no other. I wish I'd had ten minutes of that minus the front half.
Paula: I think you were brilliant tonight. So much so that I think Carrie Underwood wouldn't just approve, I think she'd buy the record.
Simon: My only problem is with what you're wearing.
Well. This is a pleasant surprise. That was actually pretty good.
Randy: That proved why we wanted you on the show. You really showed your vocal skills and I really liked the arrangement.
Kara: That was the biggest surprize of the night for me.
Paula: The glove really fit this week.
Simon: You've just managed to go from zero to hero. That was a good choice of song and one of my favorite performances of the night and I take back what I said last week. You deserve to be on American Idol.
I really like the old sound in Megan's voice but she's going to have to watch those pitch problem.
Randy: I was quite impressed and thought that was pretty good. Perfect choice for you.
Kara: Perfect song. Perfect look. Most people couldn't get up and do that while they're sick.
Paula: You're a fighter. If that's what sick is being about...
Simon: You should have flu every week. You look gorgeous.
I quite liked that performance. It's been a good show.
Randy: For me, it was my favorite performance of the night. You've got it going on!
Kara: There ain't nothing small about you. You're an artist and a real talent. You worked the dynamics of that song. Amazing.
Paula: You're an authentic performer and your honesty shines through your performance.
Simon: You're quite similar to Danny but tonight you out sang him. One of the best tonight.
I like American Idol and all but I must admit this video is kinda funny....I had to share it with all of you!! I tried to embed the video but it didnt work so here is the link...let me know what you think...

I'm tired of Paula standing up and flailing her arms and bootie when the contestants are singing. I wish Simon would strap her into her chair.
Every year, one artist gets to benefit from the contestants demise. This year it is Carrie Underwood who gets to benefit from American Idol all over again.
The name of the new song being used to say goodbye to the eliminated contestants on American Idol in 2009 is called Home Sweet Home
by American Idol winner Carrie Underwood.
It was the highest number of votes ever for this stage of the competition. A whopping 33 million votes!.
Here's what is happening. There have been a number of contestants who have left early. Chris Daughtry and Jennifer Hudson are two examples of such. This year, the judges have the option of not having an elimination for one week only. The following week, two people will be sent home instead.
The Top 13 perform a medley of hits of the Jackson 5.
After a recap of last nights show and the weekly Ford ad set to music, it's time for the results.
Michael Sarver is safe. Allison Iraheta is safe. Jasmine Murray is not safe. Matt Giraud is safe. Kris Allen is safe while Megan Corkery is not.
Jasmine is going home unless the judges save her while Megan is safe.
Jasmine sings but I doubt it's going to be enough. It's not and she's gone. She's all tears but she really shouldn't be surprized.
Kanye West
performs Heartless on the American Idol stage. I'm not that fussed.
Back to the results. Scott MacIntyre is safe. Despite having a weird number, Alexis Grace is safe. Danny Gokey is, of course, safe. Anoop Desai is not safe.
Adam Lambert is safe, of course. Lil Rounds is safe but Jorge Nunez is joining Anoop in the middle of the stage.
Before the final result of the night, Ryan Seacrest tells us that each week they'll be bringing back one of the American Idol alumni. Tonight it's the original American Idol - Kelly Clarkson, singing My Life Would Suck Without You
.
Leaving the show is Jorge Nunez unless the judges save him. I doubt it though. Simon Let's him down quickly.
As we see Jorge's journey, we hear the new American Idol 2009 Farewell Song
Who is going to be the first to be cut? What is the new twist that could change the outcome of the show entirely? Will the second contestant to be eliminated be a shock? Tonight, the results will be announced after last nights voting but first, let's take a look at what the polls are saying.
The bottom two in our poll were Michael Sarver and Jasmine Murray with 1% of the vote each. Scott MacIntyre, Kris Allen and Jorge Nunez each had 3% of the vote while Alexis Grace and Megan Corkery had 4%
When it comes to the top of the poll it should be no surprise that Adam Lambert is on top with 32% of the vote followed by Danny Gokey on 24%. These two contestants were the only ones to break double digits so the race is certainly on to catch them.
Dial Idol has Jorge Nunez at the bottom of the pack followed by Allison Iraheta and Jasmine Murray. Kris Allen, Megan Corkery Michael Sarver and Matt Giraud are next in line for the chop according to them.
In regards to the judges twist, there is speculation that it will be a veto by the judges of one of the contestants in the bottom three. My guess is that we may be moving more towards the good old Rockstar!/The X Factor system where the public votes, the performers try to impress the judges to stay in the competition and then the judges make a decision as to who is going to be out on their ass. Of course, it may be something entirely different.
The results will be live shortly so join me for the live recap with results as they happen.
