Season 11 Finals Week 9 Results, broadcast on 5/3/2012
The show opens with the top five contestants being photographed. It's a
different kind of opening, for a change. They're all glad to be there.
There are also some recaps of the critiques.
PRELIMINARIES
The BBV introduces the judges, who come out the center. Jennifer looks
"Hollywood casual". Seacrest came out from somewhere when the BBV called
his name. Once again, I was looking at Jennifer at the time.
Coldplay will perform twice. Carrie Underwood will perform. The
contestants are on the bottom couch. The top couch is vacant. Seacrest
blabs about the tour.
RESULTS
Joshua goes up first. He stands up, then turns to exchange looks with
Hollie, then goes to his spot. He had two good performances and two good
critiques last night. No matter how you feel about Joshua, Randy and
Jennifer were over the top with their critiques. JB also said he was
great. His Bee Gees song was the best performance of the year. He's
impressed that Joshua picked up the song for the first time and was ready
to go 15 minutes later. Joshua is laid-back when talking about himself. I
like that.
CSM&L. Joshua ... something happened out of our view, when the camera was
tight on his head. He knew he was safe a couple of seconds before Seacrest
said anything.
[break]
BBV = big, booming voice
[return]
Seacrest blabs about Twitter.
FILLER
It's the Ford video, "Dream Life". They're outdoors in the hills. There's
a door and some Alice-In-Wonderland-looking costumes and props. They take
one of the giant golden eggs and put it in their Ford and drive off.
Seacrest blabs about Ford videos.
I don't think there are nearly as many celebrity guest cameos ITA this
year as there have been in recent years.
Cold Play performs "Paradise". Dirty-looking upright pianos must be a fad.
I've never seen Coldplay. It's four young men. The audience has glowy
colored wristbands to wave around. This song isn't bad. There's graffiti
everywhere - on the instruments, the stage, the background. Again, that
wasn't bad.

I may not ever know whether or not Wal-Mart steaks are as good as they
claim. I don't shop there much, and I've never bought groceries there.
[return]
RESULTS
Hollie and Phillip, come down to the center. They do. Move over here a
little bit. OK. Hollie apparently had some kind of breakthrough night. I
thought she was fine, but I've liked her all along. JB said Hollie took
the right approach with the Tina Turner song. He said her performance of
"Bleeding Love" was "competent". He thinks she's safe this week. Hollie,
where did this boost of confidence come from. I've listened to what people
say. It was time to step it up.
Phillip sang a song about going home. Hopefully that will be true. The
judges were less over-the-top than usual for him. JB implies that Phillip
is still sick. He did "two very bland songs". He said Phillip has been
coasting and should be in the bottom two, but he probably won't be.
Phillip spits his gum out onto Seacrest's card.
CSM&L. Hollie, unfortunately this isn't a fakeout, and you're in the
bottom two. She and Phillip hug. Hollie knows where to go from here. So
does Phillip.
[break]

FILLER
Carrie Underwood performs "Blown Away". She looks like Venus, only she has
arms, is wearing clothes, and isn't surfing on a clamshell. I'm not very
good at following words of songs. I've heard "Oklahoma" a few times and
"daddy". Is this about a tornado? Sorry, I really don't hear lyrics very
well. I don't think Carrie sounds very good on this. The low parts aren't
coming out, and the loud parts that are coming out are very repetitive.
Yeah, okay "blown away", I got that part. I loved that song she did a
couple of years ago with Randy Travis. That was a lot better than this.
The judges give her a standing O. Carrie blabs about her album and tour.
[break]
O = ovation
[return]
RESULTS
Skylar and Jessica, your turn. They walk to the center hand-in-hand.
Skylar was her usual energetic self, and she got good critiques. JB said
Skylar is a fighter. She did well with "Fortunate Son", but he wasn't
crazy about the Dusty Springfield song. She doesn't deserve to go home
because of it. Skylar, what do you have to do to win the night? Do "a
rockin' song. Or maybe a ballad." Good plan.
Jennifer and Randy argued over whether Jessica did well with "Proud Mary".
They liked "You Are So Beautiful Better". JB loved every part of the
second song. He said "Proud Mary" was a "travesty" and her dress was too
short, mature, and racy. In other words, he thought she looked hot, and
that made him uncomfortable. He accused the stylist of "torpedoing this
girl". Jennifer and Randy agree that the outfit was too much for "middle
America". Give me a break.
CSM&L. Jessica, you're one step closer to the finale. Safe. Jessica and
Skylar hug, then Skylar goes over where she and Hollie hug.
[break]
[return]
Jennifer was caught of guard out of her spot when the show came back. What
do I do? Seacrest says go to your spot, but someone else tells her to
stay. She stays.
Coldplay performs "Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall". I don't think the
singing is real on this. You can't jump around, lie on your back, pound
your chest, and all that without making a few stray noises. I don't know.
This song is okay too, but I wish the guy wouldn't bounce so much, and
move his hand away from his genitals a little. He keeps it right there. He
got pretty sweaty during that song.
Hollie and Skylar are standing with Seacrest. They both look worried. Aw,
they're friends and one of them has to go home for two weeks.
[break]
[return]
Randy, what's your reaction to the bottom two? I'm always sad on
Thursdays. Props to both of them. Jennifer? A lot of people enjoyed the
show last night. Losing anyone is tough. Steven? The top five has never
been better than this.
Hollie and Skylar are holding hands and looking down. CSM&L. Seacrest said
there were 60 million votes. The person going home tonight is - Skylar
Laine. Hollie is safe. Skylar and Hollie hug tightly for a long time. It's
OK if you girls want to kiss. This is your moment. Don't worry about what
anyone thinks.
WRAPUP
Here's Skylar's farewell video. I wonder if Steven finally figured out she
isn't from Galveston? Skylar sings along with Scotty a little while
watching her video. Hollie is crying.
Skylar performs "Gunpowder and Lead". Skylar's making her rounds around
the audience, the front of the stage, the judges, etc. They keep showing
Hollie crying because crying is good television. The judges are nodding
their heads to the song, but they aren't in time with each other. Phillip
is smiling. Skylar went out with a big bang. Good for her. She and Hollie
hug some more as the screen goes dark.

should have been in the bottom 2, and probably should've been the one
going home because he doesn't appear to really give a damn at this
point.
Another thing we noticed tonight was that Jessica seems to be detached
from the other contestants. I'd love to know what the dynamics are
there.
Still looking forward to a Joshua vs Hollie finale.....

I think he doesn't give a damn because he knows what the score is. He's all but been told who's winning the show, and it AIN'T HIM...

like a perfectly nice young man, but I do hold it against the people voting.

It's a good thing I didn't post earlier b/c I was gonna say again how I
thought Skylar would win it all. Dialidol actually had her as the only safe
contestant tonight.
This is such an unpredictable season.
I can't see Hollie winning. Jessica's personality probably doesn't win over
voters. Phillip has an I couldn't care less attitude. So therefore I am
predicting Joshua will be your next American Idol.

I'd go another route here, since I do believe the show has now crowned Jessica The Chosen One, and will not crown a Champion Presumptive, for fear of backlash...

It is my contention that Jessica cannot win a fair vote -- and that the task for TPTB is to put Jessica against the least believable of the other contestants.
I'm still thinking it's Joshua, on the basis that I don't think they want to "validate" VFTW, because VFTW has been on Philip for about a month now -- and this would represent the longest time they've been on a winner.

Jesus...that everybody doesn't think like you do! If you've been paying
any attention to Scotty's success since he won A. I. last season, he is
the BEST winner to come out of A. I. since Carrie Underwood in S4, and
he breathed new life back into the show, which I think will be more than
anybody will ever be able to say after the winner is announced THIS
season, IMO.

If you've been reading the Bovada odds, they went odds-on, which is The Pick as these odds usually go, on Philip this week IIRC.

Carrie Underwood performs "Blown Away". She looks like Venus, only she has
arms, is wearing clothes, and isn't surfing on a clamshell. I'm not very
good at following words of songs. I've heard "Oklahoma" a few times and
"daddy". Is this about a tornado? Sorry, I really don't hear lyrics very
well. I don't think Carrie sounds very good on this. The low parts aren't
coming out, and the loud parts that are coming out are very repetitive.
Yeah, okay "blown away", I got that part. I loved that song she did a
couple of years ago with Randy Travis. That was a lot better than this.
The judges give her a standing O. Carrie blabs about her album and tour.
OK...this is one of my favorite paragraphs you've written in ages!
Botticelli would be proud of you!
I was only half listening because Mr. Azure got home right when this was on
and Lucy was welcoming him. I think Daddy was a loser/boozer. A big tornado
came. He was passed out on the couch and she went down to the basement. That
will teach him.
I don't know anything about this, but I might bet that the person who wrote
"Jesus Take the Wheel" wrote this as well.

12. It certainly shows every week.
I don't get who is voting for P2??? The guy is a terrible, one-note
performer. Ugh. He's stinkin' up the joint.
Skylar's so-long song: Gunpowder and Lead - perfect. LOL. She is a
firecracker. Judy, can you think of any other female country star who
performs like Skylar does? I can't. She surely has a place in
Nashville, and good for her. I hope she ditches those humongous
earrings, though.

make your ears bleed. Skylar will likely do just fine without

performed, not counting this week.

anything about that outfit that was inappropriate for a 16-year-old,
and I'm really in the "middle America." J-Lo and JB have an odd
impression of "flyover country." Have they never even been in
Chicago? Omaha? Kansas City? St. Louis? J-Lo, in particular, is
thick as a post.

She was dressed appropriately for the venue - I agree with J-Lo on
that. All those youngsters (including their successful "role models,"
if that's what they are - Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez, etc. - wear shoes
like that, and the dress wasn't as revealing, in my view, as some of
the ones with really low cleavage (like Skylar wore earlier in the
season).

She says "accepted in LA," but not appropriate. I just didn't see
anything bad, sexy (as if Jessica could be sexy), titillating or
inappropriate for that outfit in that venue for that occasion. No,
most 16-year-olds around here don't dress like that and wear high
platform heels, but they aren't in an LA theater, on stage, either.
If Jessica dressed like that for everyday, I'd have a problem with
it. But from what we saw of behind the scenes, she didn't. So I
don't get what the big deal is about, and I don't think J-Lo really
knows what is acceptable to middle America, and certainly doesn't have
any business commenting on it.

Some producer in Nashville is missing a good thing, if she isn't
immediately picked up. Like I mentioned, I can't think of any country
singer right now who sounds anything like Skylar. She would be one of
a kind, and there's a place for that. I keep thinking Minnie Pearl
with ADHD. Or maybe Reba when she was a lot younger. Pure country,

Yeah, she seems to sing the songs as it is. While I personally don't
have a problem, time and again, in idol, it is emphasized that they
should modify/improvise to their style and show their creativity. I
don't see that in her.

her in Nashville and she could become a very popular artist (earrings
and all-LOL) but she needs a little more training to break a few of her
vocal habits, although she has already showed the audience just how good
of a singer she is, when she slows it down and lets the words just flow
from deep within.
I have always said she is a regular little firecracker! She has
personality plus on that stage and draws the audience in to her. This is
something she has over Lauren Alaina, as Lauren always seemed a little
timid and subdued, but yet, she was able to make it to 2nd place on her
voice, and probably her sweet girl-next-door persona.
I do wish Skylar well and I really hope the right people can get a hold
of her and shape her into a real star. I doubt if we've heard the last
of Ms. Skylar Laine. Even her voice is perfect for the stage! :))

she sings pretty much the same way no matter what tone the song calls for. It's not
good when the way somebody sings something draws too much attention away from what
they're singing. Of course I wish the best for Skylar, but I don't expect to be
buying any of her music.

agree Skylar needs coaching, but very few of the Idol singers who end
up as a "name" get by with no coaching. Daughtry is one who I imagine
didn't need anything from anyone. He already had his signature style.
Many of today's pop artists are also very nasal - when the auditioners
in Idol sound very nasal on current hits, there's a reason - they are
copying the recording artist.

ballpark. Reba can be as country as there ever was and also can be
very nasal. She just doesn't jump around like a f**t in a skillet,
like Skylar does.

Well, we have to disagree there. No doubt Reba can be nasal, but that's not
her "usual" singing style. As far as jumping around goes, it does nothing
for the performance when it's just frantic hopping here and there IMO.

copying some young "pop" star - but apparently, I am willing to give
country a pass. I think that's because country fans don't mind it so
much. Or something.

I'm a week behind because I was out of town so I just watched this
show yesterday but for the second time this season Phillip did not
appear in the Ford video, never before since A.I. has been doing these
videos has a kid who has been on the show missed appearing in one and
now Phillip has already missed 2 of them. I don't know what's more
shocking the fact that Phillip has missed 2 Ford videos or that Itoshi
has not picked up on it in his report.

he has missed 4 of them. I seriously doubt he can be that sick every
Sunday and then suddenly be well again a few days later to sing his
heart out. I think he has figured out that he does not need to do
these commercials in order to because the next A.I. It will also be a
shame when he makes it to the top 2 and gets a free Ford when he was
hardly in any of the commercials, if I were the other kids I would not
be too happy about that.
