It’s go time people.  The show opens with recap recap recap….just in case you missed last night or have forgotten what happened in the last 24 hours….Ryan reminds us no one is safe.  He’s wearing a dark blue or black suit (I can’t tell) and a polka dot tie.  He always looks nice now.  Happy Earth Day and all that.  Apparently, David Archuletta is singing tonight.  Great.  Archie is back.  Good ol’ squinty eyes.  45 million votes were cast and now here are your judges.  Randy has a black button up on, Kara is wearing a strapless green number, Paula is very glitzy tonight, and Simon is wearing a grey sweater.

Now we find out why Paula is so dressed up tonight.  She was the choreographer for the kiddies’ group performance.  Oh, ho ho ho….really?  Finally….Paula doing something she excels at.  You have to admit, as nutty as she is, she really can dance.  So Ms. Abdul gets to introduce the song and we get to see the short little dress she is wearing.  Of course she looks amazing in it.  The song the kiddies are “singing” is obviously pre-recorded.  There is no chance they could sing and dance at the same time….and they are not very good at lip synching.  Heehee.  It was a cool dance, I wasn’t listening to the music.  The kiddies got some flowers for Paula, which was very very nice.

Time for the Ford music video brainwashing message.  The video was to “I’m Good, I’m Gone.”  I have no idea what this was about, very random, made no sense….except now I have a weird urge to buy a new car.

Seacrest says, dim the lights.  Time for the results.  Lil, please stand up.  Ok, so she is in the bottom three….well, he didn’t actually say she was in the bottom three, he just said please stand on this side of the stage.  And without any real fanfare, she is booted off the show.  Done.  That’s it.  Sayonara.  See ya later.  Oh wait, first sing again, and no I didn’t listen to this.  After it’s over though, Paula goes, why didn’t you sing like this last night?  Hahahahaha…nice Paula, rub salt in the wound.  Like singing better would have helped.  Randy says this is just the beginning for you.  Simon says he’s still a big fan, and he’ll miss Lil’s family screaming behind him.  Kara says, I think you learned something on this show, and manages to make it sound extremely condescending.  After Lil goes, there is an all-star disco music medley.  <pause>  Oh sweet Jesus.  No, I did not listen to this.  Not even a little.  I forwarded through the whole thing, I didn’t even pay attention to who was singing.  I’m a bad blogger and I don’t care. 

Now it’s time to find out the bottom three.  Kermit Kris please stand up.  He is safe, of course, and more adorable than ever.  Dramadama please stand up, nevermind, shut up and sit down, you’re safe.  Ironman, please stand up.  Oh, he is adorable too.  He’s safe and he thinks he knows what Simon meant by clumsy.  Anoop de Loop Loop is next and yeah, yeah, yeah, America still hates you Anoop.  He’s in the bottom three, and I think he kind of knew that.  Red and Dumbo are standing up now.  It’s gotta be Matt, right?  Nope.  America, you suck.  Red is in the bottom, well two I guess.  Dumbo is safe.  Wha-WHAT?!?!  <sigh>  I’ll be really annoyed if she goes before Anoop.

Archie is singing ‘Touch My Hand’…is he smaller than he was before?  Maybe he’s shrinking.  And is this flat?  No, maybe it’s just me still not liking him.  He’s smiling, this big cheesy grin, but the lyrics sound kind of sad to me….huh.  And he is flat.  And squinting.  So glad he lost.  He’s going on tour this summer….isn’t everybody.  He tells Red and Anoop that there are so many opportunities after Idol, yes dears, your lives will not be over when you inevitably lose this competition.  Ok, get off the stage Squint.

We’re down to Anoop and Red.  Time to find out who the second person voted out is – it’s Anoop.  Allison is safe.  Thank goodness.  She’s the only girl left.  And because the show has managed to be on time again, we get to see a recap of Lil and Anoop’s Idol journeys.  The Mom and 13.  Babye.  Thanks to everyone and goodnight.

Later gators,
