Someone’s going home tonight. What else is new?

No medley this week, instead they sang Maxine Nightingale’s “Right Back Where We Started From” from 1976.

Next an interesting piece on the recording of the songs they perform for iTunes.

Chikezie is…in the bottom 3.

Brooke is…safe!

Carly is…safe! (and not pregnant)

Ford commercial time and it might be the coolest Idol Ford commercial ever.

David Archuleta is…safe!

David Cook is…safe!

Syesha is…in the bottom 3.

Michael is…safe!

Dolly Parton will be coaching the Idols next week. I think that makes it a safe bet that’s it’s Country week!

Now for the lame viewer calls segment. Really. Can we get rid of this? It’s soooooo lame. I actually paused live TV so I could fast forward through it. That’s how much I loathe it.

3rd place finisher Kimberley Locke from Season 2 performs.

Another plug for Idol Gives Back which raised $76 million last year. Not bad.

Ramiele is…safe!

Kristy Lee is…safe!

Jason is…in the bottom 3. NOOOOOO!!!!!

Chikezie, Syesha and Jason are the bottom 3. I’m sad any of them have to go home.

Jason is…safe! Whew.

Syesha is…safe!

Chikezie is…going home. That makes me sad. But at least he’s going on the tour! That’s something for him to look forward to.

And hey, last year’s 10th place finisher, Chris Sligh, has a hit single on Christian radio right now. So being 10th doesn’t necessarily mean the end.
