American Idol Recap + Predictions

American Idol fans have voted over 38 million times. Which contestant got the least calls?

I’m guessing Jason, but what do I know? Maybe it’s Brooke going home? (She lost the lyric–Brooke’s explanation to her screw-up.) However, Webber says that Brooke was flawless during the rehearsal. Webber is a very excited looking fella, by the way. Very animated on stage, talks a lot with his hands.

Cook and Archuleta have to go on stage. The two Davids. (Are they going to be the two finalists? The Davids-Finale?)

Why did Cook sing the song up straight, without giving it a twist? Because by singing it in its original version, he wanted to be surprising.

Who is safe? Both are safe, of course. David Cook as well as David Archuleta.

Leona Lewis is singing “Bleeding Love” and she truly has an amazing voice. (I guess by now, anyone knows that she’s been the UK’s Idol.)

Syesha Mercado and Brooke White are on stage with Ryan. Who is safe?

Brooke wished her “start over” wouldn’t have happened. But, Brooke is safe tonight! Now there’s a surprise.

Syesha Mercado is in the bottom two tonight.

Who else is in the bottom two?

Jason Castro or Carly Smithson?

Well, Jason Castro is safe!! I get the vibe from Jason that he can’t believe his luck. He looks puzzled to have made it into the next round.

And Carly Smithson is in the bottom two!

So, who goes home? Carly is about to sing her song again “Jesus Christ Superstar.”

Syesha sings again, “One Rock & Roll Too Many.”

So, who gets the boot?

Who goes home: Carly Smithson!

Well, that’s a mini-surprise. But I can’t say I’m sorry to see her leave.

Simon says, Carly can leave with her head held high.
