Round
of 6: Bacharach & David Songbook
April 11
The
soundtracks were provided by Burt Bacharach & Hal David.
The talent was provided by the Top 6. The result is
provided by America. Will the Save be provided by the
judges? All these questions, plus TWO, TWO, TWO people
who took the title come home. .... and Kevin Bacon. If
it's Thursday, it's RESULT NIGHT.
First, the
Top 6 break into a medley of Bacharach & David hits,
including "You'll Never Get to Heaven", "I Just Don't
Know What to Do With Myself", "Always Something There to
Remind Me", "This Guy's In Love With You", "One Less
Bell to Answer", "This House Is Not a Home", and of
course, "That's What Friends Are For". Notice I never
said "singing".
This week's
Ford Fiesta Mission... a ripoff of Top Gear's Kia Rio
soccer challenge. Winners: the BBC once they get ahold
of the tape.
Jimmy Iovine,
please save us.
KREE:
"Another great vocal performance, but if she wants to
win this thing, we need to see more personality."
ANGIE:
"Angie did a very confident job. Is it enough to win the
night? Not for me."
LAZARO: "Hit
me like an Ambien milkshake." Then... "If I had to chart
them this week, I'd put him 10th." There're only six
singers, Jimmy. "Yes. I know."
First round
of SLSM.
They're
doing near-side, far-side, middle-side. Imagine this
webpage is the stage...
(STAGE
RIGHT) Angie.... Lazaro.... Kree (STAGE LEFT)
Next, an
IDOL UPDATE: the pride and joy of Garner, North
Carolina, a former baseball player who just happened to
sing... fresh from the campus of NC State and that
Bojangles' commercial, performing his new single, "See
You Tonight"... Baby lock them doors and turn the lights
down low, it's the 10th American Idol, SCOTTY MCCREERY!
AT&T is
giving you the scorers chair. Go to AmericanIdol.com for
more info. Back to Jimmy...
JANELLE:
"She's taking literal interpretations. That's not going
to work." She joins... ANGIE.
CANDICE:
"Candice is leading this thing." Then... "She's got more
than a great voice. She's got a great sense of what she
wants to sing." She joins... KREE.
That leaves
Amber to join Lazaro. Jimmy said... "Amber, keep doing
what you're doing."
Chico's
Prediction: Candice and Kree are your bottom two. Judges
ready the Save.
Next up,
though... a break. Let's go back to 2001, when Ryan and
some Dunkleman met a waitress from Texas... and the rest
is HER story. Coming full circle with "People Like Us"
from the "Greatest Hits: Chapter One" album... people of
the game show web, I give you... the original American
Idol... KELLY CLARKSON!
Oooh..
glowsticks.
Back to
business....
TOP 2: ...
KREE & CANDICE (C-Note: Well I suck.)
BOTTOM 2:
... LAZARO & AMBER
OTHER 2:
ANGIE & JANELLE
(C-Note:
things that go on during the AI break: I update the
site, play a round of "What's The Phrase", message my
ex/platonic friend, and massage my arm from going to the
gym today. Damn you, Rudy.)
It's time
for the results.
Singing for
their life tonight... over 34 million votes later.... is
LAZARO ARBOS. His chosen weapon... "Feelin' Good" by
Michael Buble.
You know how
I feel. It's time... The Twittersphere says #IdolSave.
Let's go to the panel... Randy?
"We will NOT
be using the Save tonight."
That leaves
five women to fight it out for the title. The claws are
going to come out in full force. Until next week,
support local & independence music!
