Recap: Finals Week 4 Results, 4/1/2009
Itoshi
The show opens with the judges' comments from last night. They only
included the judges' substantive comments, so it was a short tape. Now I
know why Paula was reading/reciting her critiques last night - it was for
this tape.
PRELIMINARIES
Alexis Grace is ITA. Seacrest says 36 million votes were cast last night.
A cute girl ITA CLAS.
Seacrest is talking about what will happen tonight. SITJ. RCFH. Paula
gives a pinky wave. Randy didn't boo Simon. Maybe he suddenly realized how
juvenile it is, and won't do it again.
Randy, why are you judges always on about song choice? The contestants
have to pick songs they can do well. Kara, are you a broken record, like
the heckler said? I appreciate that the audience has passion. Paula, can
the other contestants be as good as Adam? Yes, if they know who they are
and wear plenty of eye makeup. Simon, who should go home tonight? Anoop,
Matt, Megan ... to that, Megan gives a cheery wave.
The Ford video has slices of different contestants' faces and bodies
spliced together. The song is "Mixed Up". That was pretty good.
The group lip-sync number is "Don't Stop Believing". Scott's lip-synching
is far worse than the others. Even from the widest, full-stage camera
shot, I can see Megan's forearms jangling away.
[break]
Simon just called out all of the contestants who got into the finals via
the wild card. Good job on fixing the voters' mistakes, judges.
ITA = in the audience.
CLAS = claps like a seal.
SITJ = Seacrest introduces the judges.
RCFH = Randy cheers for himself.
[return]
FILLER
There's tape about how busy the contestants' lives are. Megan demonstrated
her moves for someone. Allison enjoys the photo shoots. Kris doesn't.
Scott enjoys the Ford video shoots. Matt did an impersonation of Danny.
Alexis was ITV. They have a chef.
Live again, Seacrest asks Danny to impersonate Matt. Danny does a sheep
baaaing to Coldplay. Anoop imitates Kris's facial contortions. Allison
imitates Danny. The others were true, but that one didn't land.
RESULTS
CSM&L. Megan, stand up. Matt, stand up. Kris, stand up. All three of you
come down to the stage. Stand over there.
Adam, stand up. Once again, we apologize for making you go through this
process. Lil, stand up. Allison, stand up. The three of you, go to the
center of the stage.
Scott, stand up. Danny, stand up. "After the nationwide vote ... Anoop,
please stand up." The three of you go stand on that side.
Seacrest implied that one group _could_ be the bottom three.
[break]
I was actually thinking the bottom three was one person from each group.
All three groups have a front-runner (Kris, Adam, Danny). Kris _is_ a
front-runner now, isn't he?
I think there will be some switching around before the bottom 3 is
announced.
ITV = in this video
CSM&L = Cue the scary music and lights
[return]
FILLER
David Cook performs "Come Back To Me". His guitar still says "AC", I guess
because he's still exploiting his brother's illness to get votes, because
that's the only explanation some people will accept. I never was a David
Cook fan. This is his typical, "Hey, I'm melancholy and emotional; just
watch me stare off into space a lot, then squinch my face up when I hit a
high note" kind of performance.
Seacrest asks what was the most valuable lesson he learned on AI? Some
girls ITA shout, "We love you, David!!!" Then he talked about what he's
been doing. The girls made him forget the question.
A couple of hot chicks bring out a plaque for his platinum album. Who are
the chicks? Wait, don't go ...
[break]
[return]
RESULTS
CSM&L again. Over to Kris, Megan, and Matt. Kris, you're safe. The girl
sitting next to Kris's babe of a wife is a babe. Megan is holding onto
Matt's arm. Matt, you were in the bottom three last week. This week, you
have to take a seat again ... over there (pointing to the safe couch).
April Fools! Megan, the judges punched you in the face again. "I love you,
Simon, but I don't care." Megan, you can also take a seat ... on the
stools of sadness. Megan flaps her arms, goes "caw, caw, caw" and flies
over to the stool. Megan is funny.
Now over to Adam, Lil, and Allison's group. Lil, "You ... are ... safe."
Allison, "You ... are in the bottom three." So sit next to Megan. Allison
walks over to the chairs like a human being. Adam, you're no Steven Tyler,
but you're safe. Paula CLAS.
Now over to Danny, Scott, and Anoop. Danny, you are safe. Danny and Kris
just had a guy moment on the couches. Anoop and Scott, both of your
futures here are very dubious. Randy, which one is in the bottom three?
Anoop. Seacrest asks Anoop if he agrees. Anoop does. Seacrest helps Scott
over to the couches. He's safe.
The bottom three are Anoop, Megan - who is still waving like a goof - and
Allison.
[break]
I didn't think I was going to score any points tonight. I'm feeling good
about next week, though.
You know the Honda commercial where they drive on the road that's supposed
to sound like the William Tell Overture? Whoever built that road did a
lousy job of programming the tune.
[return]
FILLER
Lady Gaga performs "Poker Face". WTF is this crap?
Simon, of this bottom three, how many are worth saving? "One". I wish
Seacrest wouldn't ask him that.
[break]
WTF = What the eff
[return]
RESULTS
Anoop, Megan, and Allison are the bottom three. One of them is going back
to the safety couches. Megan says, "Don't forget to caw". Now Anoop is
being sent back. She says the same thing to him. Megan got the lowest
votes. Allison caws.
Simon says they won't be using the save. Megan performs "Turn Your Lights
Down Low". What a goof.
WRAPUP
Seacrest says he's said to see her go. Megan loves the show, the
contestants, the judges, and her baby. The voters appear to be singling
out the contestants who have little kids.
There's video of Megan. She's so Megan.
Next week's theme is "Songs from the year you were born".

Like Cook but can't say as I liked that song.

I was listening in the other room - song sounded okay to me but then I

A cute girl but I'm not sad I don't have to listen to her sing
anymore. Buh bye.

I know everybody here hates Megan, and I agree that she was the right
person to go home tonight, but I thought she sounded way better
tonight than she did last night! And I felt really sad and even
teared up a little when she said she was going home to her baby and
started crying.

Don't include me. While I was not a fan of her singing, I did
appreciate her quirkiness and personality. She seemed like a sweet
girl.

I agree. It might have had to do with her not being as nervous knowing
that her performance would not be judged.
> And I felt really sad and even

It all will work out in the end. She gets to see her baby early and
then has a break before they go on tour in the summer.

Typical group sing...could easily do without that each week, but then
they'd have to fill that spot with some other kind of "fluff"!

I was wondering WTH for a minute there, as each group had one person
high on the voting polls in it, but thought it would play out to be a
April Fool's joke.

I wasn't ever on Cook's "train" either, as I was all for the younger
David last season, but they have both done quite well so far, so that's
what matters. This seemed to be a "ok song?

I'm glad she went tonight, and Allison and Anoop were saved to sing
another day. I would have been thoroughly "hacked off" if she would have
stayed and Allison left in her place!

Simon said since Megan didn't care what he said, then they didn't are
enough to save her either, but I doubt if he even considered it.

Allison walks over to the chairs like a human being.
Actually, if you can watch it again... she actually did a little "side-
hand bird flapping" thing when she started to walk over. It was
actually a bit cute and showed that the young one can play the game.

I'm with you, shep. She seems to be blossoming and growing more
confident with each week. PLEASE don't let her get voted off soon!!!!

Oh my, that song was not very good at all. Ricky asked me how David
won last season. I told him if he had sung like that he wouldn't
have.

Maybe it's me but I didn't think she was funny at all. In fact, I
thought her little bird act was stupid.

Anoop showed a lot of class when he said that he watched the playback
and agreed that he didn't do very well. Very classy.

I'm not sure how she did it but I thought she was worse than Tuesday
night. And what was with the dancing? She made Danny's dancing look
good!

One thing that really impressed me in that, was how Adam stopped and offered
Lil his arm to escort her down the steps. That showed good manners to me. I
like that young man!

More like he grabs Scott's arm and drags him whichever way he wants Scott to

Until this season, Ryan never introduced the Ford videos; they were always
right out of commercial. Now we've moved them to the A-block. Next week,
shall we just lead off with it and be done for the night?

If they do this song again at the finale, they have _got_ to get Randy
Jackson on bass. Yes, I know he hadn't yet joined the group when they
recorded it.
Saturday on CBS, college students play basketball. If they win, they'll
play again.
OT tangent: the F4 is in Michigan, a state with an 11%+ unemployment rate.
How can the fans afford to buy tickets?

They really should add that to the tour. Not that it matters to me; they
won't stop in my county. The unemployment rate there is _18%_, so again, no
one's got any money for tickets.

Yes, we voted to make Anoop stand up. ;-)

My inclination was Ryan would switch a couple people. Remember when the

last year?

If he wins, I think he'll be the biggest out-of-nowhere winner (in relation
to his chances coming into the finals) since Kelly Clarkson. And yes, that

Lousy fashion critics! Allison's chances of winning AI aren't looking too
good right now. Remember, we've had only one eventual winner (Fantasia) who
dropped into the B3 more than once. EW has no more pull than VFTW.

I'm not. Kris may go far, and by the time I score 10 or more points for a
hit, I'll be too far behind for it to matter.
F4 = Final Four
B3 = Bottom three
EW = Entertainment Weekly, who is pimping Allison on its "Idolatry" webshow

I muted it. This performance is exactly why Mom decided to watch "Criminal
Minds" live instead of taping it to watch later. She's taping NBC's "Life"
instead, although I don't see why she bothered because it's going to be
cancelled next month anyway. Have you seen its ratings? You can't without
a microscope.

Oh, shoot! I am very sorry to hear that, as hadn't seen that it had been
cancelled, but I feared it might, as they kept changing it to different
nights, and finally ended up on Wednesday opposite A. I., so I can see
why the ratings would be down.
I really do like that show, and I watch such little TV, besides A.I. and
DWTS at this time, I watched "Life" and America's Most Wanted, Hell's
Kitchen and ER, but that series ends tonight. I really liked the main
detective (Charlie Cruz) Damien Lewis on "Life", so now I'm bummed! :-(

"Life"'s ratings were never up this season to begin with. My guess is the
long turnaround between seasons caused by the writers' strike led to
irreparable damage. It's not just "Life"; "Chuck", "Heroes", and ABC shows
"Pushing Daisies", "Dirty Sexy Money", and "Private Practice" all decided to
call it a season during the strike and return in the fall. Unfortunately,
when they finally returned, the viewers did not. Only PP is even close to
last year's ratings, and that had more to do with a "Grey's Anatomy"
crossover than anything else. (By contrast, CBS ordered six poststrike
episodes of "The Big Bang Theory", and viewership boomed in year two.) NBC
has gone on record as saying they still support "Heroes" despite one of the
largest one-year ratings crashes in recent memory, if not all of television
history. I have not heard any definitive word one way or the other
regarding the future of "Chuck" or "Life", but I don't think the prognosis
for either is very good. Take out the 10pm hour (Jay Leno) and Saturday
(lost cause) and Sunday nights (football), and that leaves just ten hours a
week to program, which doesn't leave much room for on-the-bubble series.
As for me, I never watched "Life". Mom likes it, but NBC always put it up
against something else she likes. Last year it was on Wednesday at 10, but
Mom and I watched "CSI: NY" instead. Friday at 10 it was "Numb3rs", and
Wednesday nights it's AI _and_ CM. "Life" is in a no-win situation.

This season hasnt been as good, with Reese barely in the show. The
show is good because of the relationship between Crews and Reese, with
her out of the picture, for all intents and purposes, the show hasn't
been as good. Even I've stopped watching it because the line up is
too much for that night, figuring I'd catch it in reruns.

I hope "Life" gets its second wind. Also, I hope "Chuck" survives. It's one of
the best written lighter series on TV, IMHO.

Jason, if your Mom can lwatch on a computer screen you should check out
http://www.hulu.com
It has the episodes of many programs (including Life).

Isn't it repurposed on some NBC-owned cable channel? But I do remember
Gabrielle Union from "Bring it On".

She knows about Hulu. The only thing she has been lacking is time to watch
it. But as soon as she gets her store cleared out for whosoever should buy
it, she'll have all the time she needs...unless she gets sucked into MSNBC,
Food Network, or "NCIS" repeats on USA (she's a big fan of Mark Harmon).
