American Idol- "Say goodbye to two" and Adam Lambert performs

Tonight two Idol hopefuls are going home thanks to last weeks save of Big Mike. Last night's homage to Elvis turned out much better than anticipated but two people in particular fell short - Andrew and Siobhan. But as we know this show is more about who's popular than who's more talented.

Before we get to the good-bye there's another lip-synced medley performance. Tonight it's a tribute to Elvis Presley and it's just painful! Is this what the "Idol Tour" looks like? Who wants to pay to see a bunch of kids sing songs that they obviously feel no connection to?

Anyway back to why we're here- the results. Andrew is the first to say good-bye just as I predicted. He takes the defeat like a real pro. He's a good kid and extremely gracious even though his dreams of being the next American Idol are no more.

Brooke and Justin perform and then have an awkward exchange with Ryan.

Next, Aaron and Casey  find out that they're safe which leaves everybody else on the hot seat. Ryan calls the rest of the group to the stage and we'll soon learn the fate of another Idol hopeful.

Ryan really pisses me off with the tricks and fake-outs of who's going home and who gets to sit back down on the couch.
Crystal and Siobhan are the next to learn that they are safe and Ryan walks Lee to the couch after scaring the poor boy to death- he's safe.

So that leaves Mike, Katie and Aaron. I am surprised because I really think that Siobhan should have been 2nd Idol hopeful to go home tonight. It's anyone's game and I have no idea who's leaving.

Adam Lambert performs before we learn the fate of the final three.

Smiling Tim is the first sent back to the couch and now Mike and Katie are left.

And Katie is the one to leave the competition.

The camera cuts to Mike's wife celebrating her man's survival for another week, while all the other kids are crying on the couch. It's a little bit inappropriate but that's show business folks.

Remember there is a bright-side to this. Katie is only 17 so she can come back next year a little more seasoned and maybe even win it all.

Until next week...


Bye Katie.
