American Idol: RESULTS

If you haven't watched, don't read this...

First of all: Steven Tyler looks like a pink pirate, haha! Love that he's a crazy dresser.

While watching the boys' video footage, I decided that Paul looks like Bradley Cooper from The Hangover. And Casey is HILARIOUS!!!

First up was Scotty and Robbi. Scotty was in, which I did NOT agree with because now someone I want to stay will be leaving.

Clint, Jordan, and Jovanny were all up next, and I was thinking, "Um...please send them all home!" And they were all out (although that was a mean trick on Jovanny).

First to be called up from the girls was Lauren Alaina and Pia. It's a no-brainer here: Lauren is definitely in! Not sure who styled Lauren's hair tonight, though...like I said, she needs to go back to curly. And what's with the one earring?? Not loving this girl's style. But Pia was in, too, not sure how I feel about that. I think she's got potential, so we will see how she does.

Next up was Ta-Tynisa and Julie, and I'm worried they both are going to be sent home (I want Julie to be in) since they kept the first two girls. Ta-Tynisa needed to go home LONG ago, and it finally happened tonight. She just wasn't good enough. And Julie was out, too, which was sad.

More girls up next: Kendra, Ashthon, and Karen. I'm rooting for Ashthon to go through, and I was sad to her she was out. BIG singer, love her!! I don't think either of the other two should be in, but Karen was in. Definitely disagree with that. =(

Tim, Casey, and Jacob are up next, and I was so upset when they were called up together! If only one makes it through, I'll be upset. I love Jacob and Casey, they both just HAVE to go through...Jacob is in, and it was a nail biter until they got to Casey's fate...and he's in! Poor Tim, he seems nice and he's got talent. But those two are stars. Jacob's amazing, Casey's unique: love them both so much!

Naimi, Thia, and Lauren Turner are next. I love all three but Thia's been one of my favorites since I first saw her. And I think Naima is just amazing. I want them both in. Only one was in...Naima's out, it's a shame, but I thought, "She better be a wild card candidate!" Thia is IN!!!!! So glad!!! Lauren was amazing, too, but she's sadly going home.

Bret and Paul are up, and I will THROW A HISSY FIT if Bret is not in the top 12. Paul's adorable (wearing that God-awful suit jacket again, haha!), but I want Bret in. He's a special soul and has an extremely unique voice. I was crushed to hear he was out, he better get picked as the Wild Card.

Haley (GAG!!) and Rachel are up next, and I will be super pissed if Haley is in. Although after watching my favorite go home, I had a bad feeling that my LEAST favorite would be in. And I was right, and am officially super pissed. I know she can't beat a lot of the other contestants, so she'll be gone soon.

James and Stefano are up next, and I wanted both of them in. If I had to pick one over the other, I'd pick Stefano. James is mad-talented, though, so either one deserve it. I just want Stefano a little bit more...and it was James that was in. Which is fine, I do like him.

"Is your favorite missing from that side of the stage?" Ryan asked. Um, YES!!!! You were supposed to call me and let ME pick the top 10. =(

Wild Card choices, and as much as I love Bret and Stefano both, fingers are crossed that Bret snags it. And I want Ashthon or Julie to be given the shot.

Jennifer says that six people are getting another shot, which is good. Three guys and three girls are singing. First up was Ashthon: yes!! She picks a Jennifer Hudson song, and I had high hopes that she'd NAIL it. She starts great, big notes are coming...she sang her heart out and killed it, in my opinion. Appropriate song choice, too. She's got sass, fire, and TALENT. I want her in. I don't understand how Karen and Haley made it in over this girl.

Next up was Stefano: again, YES!! This boy deserves another chance. He sings "I Need You Now". He starts kinda shaky, sounds emotional a bit. He picked up more in the middle. I can't remember ever having heard this song before. But by the end of the song he'd hit his stride and sounded awesome. Love this guy. Loved Jennifer jumping up and down in her chair at the end, too, haha.

Kendra gets a chance to sing, and she sang "Georgia On My Mind." I think she started out singing in too low of a register (was happy when Randy agreed). The stepping thing she does with her leg while she sings bugs me so much. But her big note was good. Still don't want her in.

Jennifer called Jovanny up next, and I hope he fails, to be honest. I am for Stefano at this point. I know the song he sang, just never heard it in Spanish. He sounds a million times better than he did on his performance earlier this week. I don't want him in at this point, though. But he sounded amazing!!

I'm scared at now. I feel like Robbi's going to get that last Wild Card spot for the guys, and I want Bret to be given one more chance. I just love him... =(

Naima is the last girl. I'm sad to see Julie leave, she had potential (and a FABULOUS collection of dresses!). But Naima deserved the last shot. She sang "For All We Know" and started off REALLY shaky. Her big notes are good, though.

I want Ashthon to get the spot. Although Ryan mentioned something earlier about not knowing how many the judges were keeping. And I was like, "Um, aren't they picking two people?" So maybe more than two are getting in...don't know at this point.

The last guy to get to sing is...I just know it'll be Robbi...and I was right. I am crushed beyond belief about Bret leaving. He DEFINITELY deserved a spot. I watched Robbi perform with my lower lip sticking out ever-so-slightly. =(

Robbi sings an Elton John song, and he sounds good. But I want Stefano in. I love how a lot of the contestants chose songs that are fitting for their situation. They panned to Randy at one point, and I didn't know if he was smiling or sneering in disppointment. He gave a good review, though.

So Stefano and Ashthon are my two picks. I want them both in. Stefano has been consistently awesome, Robbi and Jovanny both failed this week, so I hope that works in Stefano's favor. Kendra and Naima both ended their songs well, but Ashthon is my girl. She's just gotta make it.

The judges are finally ready to make their choice (after a weird music video of Jennifer's, the song was pretty lame). Their decision was...pushed until after the commercial break: AGH!!! They just GOTTA drag this out...

Back from the break, Ryan tells them we gotta get the Wild Card picks now. The judges chose...Ashthon is in!!! Good choice, judges!!

Jennifer says two more are in, and announces that Stefano is in, too!!! Somebody pinch me!!!!

Steven FLOORED ME when he called Naima's name! I'm glad she's getting another shot, she's amazing. So we have our top 13! I'm SO SAD that Bret's not a part of it. But I am mostly happy with everyone else (except Haley).

Next week should be good!!
