American Idol: Twelve becomes Eleven

Last night's results show started out great. I was so excited about David Cook that it actually took me a minute to realize they didn't do a group performance this week. I was happy they passed over that this week. David Cook was amazing as usual. I wish he would have sang one of his own songs, just because I think they are awesome, but I got why he didn't. They are kind of 'old' now and he stuck with the theme of the week - The Rolling Stones. How could anyone not like the Stones? ;)

As for the other music, I was excited to see Orianthi. I really like the song 'According to You.' I didn't think she gave a good perf though. Good thing she wasn't being judged. Now, Ke$ha. (It pains me to spell someone's name with symbols.) I just don't get her. I actually didn't think the song was that bad, but I think I have to be in 'mood' to listen to her music. I'm all for unique style but, seriously, what was with the Indian headdress? Is there something I'm missing?

I always look forward to the top 12 because they start the Ford commercials. Sometimes I think they can be kind of stupid, but generally, I like them. I thought the one from last night was neat and looked like they had a lot of fun making it. It was really cool that they got to design the graphics on one too. I assume the last two standing will get the cars they designed. That's really awesome.

I was happy to see that Paige was in the bottom three, even though I thought she did well this week. I've just not been a fan overall. My husband was ecstatic to see Tim there, and we were both saddened that Lacey was there. I was really hoping Andrew would be in the bottom three. Given the performances that he's had since the top 20, I'm really not sure why he's still there. At first I like him, and even defended my reasons for liking him, but yea, not anymore. Unless of course he does something amazing next week. Then I'll eat my words. With ketchup.

I was sad to see Lacey go home. I thought she picked the best of her songs so far to perform for her life, but I agreed with the judges. I just didn't think they should use the Save so early, but I will miss Lacey and be watching to see what she does now.

One last thing - I was cracking up when Simon asked "What is a Snooki's poof?" I regret that I know what it is, because Jersey Shore is ridiculous. I'm happy to say I've never watched a show(...in it's entirety.)

Anyway, what did you think about the results?
