He’s finally out! Results show ‘American Idol’ Latest Update
In just two weeks from tonight, American will have its’ next ‘American Idol.”
Last night (May 6) Ryan Seacrest tells viewers to “Vote like never before.” And that is just what America did, voting more than 51 million times. Ryan reveals the top three vote-getters are within one million votes of each other - could it be a David?
Was it just me or did anyone else notice, as the top four were singing “Reeling in the Years,” Jason seemed to be lip synching? Perhaps Jason Castro is finally lowest vote getter… but who knows.
Setting the stage for a little drama Ryan calls David Archuleta first to reveal who is safe for after last night’s competition.. Starting with David Archuleta.
Before we find out who will be joining David in the safe zone we get to see the Idol Wannabe’s living it up in Vegas! Didn’t that Cirque du Soliel show look amazing?
Finally, who’s next? Ryan calls David Cook. Randy tells David that if he makes it through to the finals he needs to “rock it out.” America voted we are headed toward a David vs. David showdown…. unless Syesha get through and brings her A game.
Next up are Syesha and Jason Castro. Ryan taunts the two by acting like he’ll be revealing the lowest vote getter…you guessed it, he didn’t. It couldn’t be how will they make this show last until 10?
I think Johnny Cash wouldn’t have liked the wacky Ford commercial for the Mustang - Agree?
In one of the more awkward moments of the season the contests face questions from a caller on live television. Tonight, David Cook is asked out on a date - it’s pretty awkward. We also learned Jason Castro is brain dead. A caller wants Simon to be the next James Bond. Back to the show.
The musical acts for tonight’s show are Maroon 5 and Bo Brice. Maroon 5 screeched out a tune that sounded like a Scissor Sisters shifted shifted up an octave… or was it Alvin from Alvin and the Chipmunks? It was a catchy tune… it just needed a different vocal.
Bo Bice, an American Idol Contestant from season four, looking like Greg Allman back in the Cher Days, rocked the idol stage… I think he may have scared a few of the younger audience members.
And finally the results… Joining David and David next week will be… Syesha.
Finally going home is Jason Castro!

All three of the final contestants are very good.David A probably has the best voice. I don’t believe that it will translate in to very many record sales however. David Cook, whether you like him or not, is the only one that really has the potential to be a star. He will easily out sell the other two contestants combined. I think David Cook will end up out selling Daughtry, the other good rocker from the show.By Democratic Party

And Cook is as boring, same old stuff from him week after week. And the third one is forgettable.By Shantei

Well, I am glad Jason is gone. I am content with the final 3, and anyone of them can win. David A. is a boring singer, but he can sing. I would not buy his cd if he won, it would put me to sleep.By Julie

Well Democratic, it’s because Julie has an opinion. And in my opinion, he is boring. Same type of song every week. His performance abilities are limited.By Democratic Party

I wonder why Julie claims David A. is boring? Might it be, he, IMHO, has the only true melodic voice and doesn’t have to “punk out”, “rock out” or scream. His voice is one of the best new voices in a very long time to emerge and he does it without having an attitude.By Julie

Please let David Archuleta be the next one to go! I hate to think I’ve wasting all these weeks watching only to see who the judges have been pimping win the title. He’s a boring singer if you ask me.
