Tonight’s American Idol results show started with a song from Simon Cowell’s year of birth (1959). Old footage of Frankie Avalon singing his hit song “Venus” was shown but then Avalon walked out on stage. It was a fun moment.
The Ford commercial this week featured Britney Spears’ single “Circus” and it was pretty good. I’ve found the commercials less entertaining this season so this was a bit of an improvement.
Flo Rida sang “Right Round” and can I saw that the girl who sings the hook (Kesha) annoyed me so much. Her singing was not great and she just irritated me.![]()
Kellie Pickler performed “Best Days of Your Life” which was co-written with Taylor Swift, and it really did not sound good. I think it’s a cute song but I think she might have been trying to move around too much.
The bottom three were Anoop Desai, Lil Rounds and Scott MacIntyre and the judges said that a couple (one in particular but they didn’t specify) of them were worth saving. Lil was the first to be sent back to the couch and it was Scott vs. Anoop.
In the end, Scott had the fewest votes and Paula and Kara wanted to save him but, in the end, Randy and Simon disagreed and sent Scott home.

Kelly really was awful wasn’t she??? I bet Simon was thinking – “That’s why you got voted off of Idol! My superior British mind was right again!”
Seriously, usually I like her but tonight – YUCK!
