Idol Results: Disappointment, Joy, Climax, and More Disappointment

Wow! Last night's results show really surprised me. I was truly upset when it was over. There were only two good things about the show, the rest bummed me out, but I'll get to that in a minute.

The show started out, much like every results show, with a group performance. This week the contestants joined together, and quite harmoniously, to sing Michael Buble's 'I Haven't Met You Yet.' Usually I loathe the group perfs with a passion, at least until the numbers have dwindled a bit. This was actually nice. It didn't have as much awkward movements and lip syncing fails as usual. I didn't cringe while watching. That's always a good thing.

So, as you read yesterday, my picks to go home were: Andrew Garcia, Aaron Kelly, Katie Stevens, and Paige Miles. FAIL=me.

And, just so he'll feel good about himself in getting one right, here are my husband's picks: In addition to Andrew and Paige, he chose Tim Urban and then got it right with Lilly Scott. He's a professional. Give him his props people. ;)

Now, onto the start of my depression. It came down to Katelyn Epperly and Paige Miles. We (my hus and I) thought it just had to be Paige going home. I mean, seriously, she's had issues with song choice from the start and I've not been impressed with a performance of hers yet. I really liked Katelyn, and even though she wasn't in my top 3 girls, I think she most likely would've been my number 4 pick. I will definitely miss her. ::cries::

When they called the back row of guys down to the stage, I think I almost hyperventilated. My top 3 guys were a part of the 4 and I just knew that one of them would be going home. My husband thought for sure that Tim would be the one out of them to go and I must say I was worried about that myself. I was actually shocked when it was Todrick that was voted out instead. I've been ready for him to go home for a while, he's just too cocky for his talent, but I didn't pick him to go home just because I didn't think it was likely. I actually clapped and squeed when Ryan made the announcement.

Now, the highlight of the season so far was Matt Giraud and Scott McIntyre's performance of 'Tell Her About It.' I was upset that Matt wouldn't be able to sing one of his original songs, but I was muy impressed with the performance they gave. I still have the song playing through my head! And, not to take away from Scott, but I couldn't believe that he already has an album coming out. My exact thoughts were: "WTF!? Scott has an album?" I feel this way because, seriously, what about Matty G? He's so great. I love his voice, his song type...the whole package. He owns me until further notice. =)

I was a little confused by Crystal Bowersox. I'm thinking that she must've been sick last night. Did anyone else notice that her face was pretty much void of any emotion? I couldn't help but think she must've gotten some botox before the show. I don't really think that, of course, but she didn't even look happy when Ryan said she was safe. I'm not knocking her here, I love her, but she has to have something going on. I just hope all is well.

Finally, the last two eliminations. I was floored. Alex Lambert? Really, America? When I saw it was down to Andrew and Alex, I was sure that we'd be saying good bye to Mr. Garcia. Boy, was I wrong! I think even the contestants were surprised by the outcome. Why else would it be so emotional during the commercial break? They were all really sad to see him go. And then there's Lilly...

Again, this wasn't one of my favorites, but I still thought she was good. She's a true artist, who knows herself. Katie on the other hand doesn't know WTF she wants to do as an artist. I really think America got it wrong here. I'd rather see someone that has a clue instead of someone that needs their hand held. Katie has a good voice and could be really good, but I just don't see a star in her.

So, what did you think about the results show? Was your favorite eliminated? And, what do you think about the news that the contestants will be singing songs by the Rolling Stones next week?
