American Idol Results Show 2010, 7 left now, 2 go Home

As the April 14, 2010 results show started, you could see lots of signs in the audience with "We Love Adam Lambert" on them. The crowd knew last year's American Idol runner up, Adam Lambert would be performing on tonight's show and were showing their excitement about it.

Host Ryan Seacrest announced that 34 million votes were cast last night, and that was the 'highest this season'. Ryan also announced that former American Idol contestants Brooke White and Justin Gaston would be performing, along with a performance by Adam Lambert.

Ryan Seacrest then announced that tonight would be a 'double elimination', and it would be a 'difficult night for the contestants.' Then the top 9 American Idol contestants sang a medley of Elvis songs, in keeping with the Elvis theme of the night before.

Ryan said this will be a 'dramatic evening', and said first, we should watch the contestants 'going green' in the Ford Music Video. He also said to enter to win a VIP trip to the American Idol set, to go to http://www.americanidol.com/ford/challenge/ to enter the contest.

After the Ford Music Video, Ryan Seacrest says, 'time for the results, dim the lights', and 'we'll start'. He then called Casey James, Aaron Kelly and Andrew Garcia to the front, and said 'go to the center of the stage. He said Casey sang, "Lawdy, Miss Claudy', Aaron sang "Blue Suede Shoes', and Andrew sang "Hound Dog".

Ryan then said, "2 people are leaving tonight" and asked Andrew how he feels? Andrew said "a little stressful'. Then Ryan, (with what I considered to be quite a switch from normal), said: "It's the end of the road for Andrew", and "Casey and Aaron are safe, take a seat." Then Andrew sang his final song for the audience. After his song, Andrew said "Thank you, guys, you let me experience something I would have never had."

Then former American Idol contestants, Brooke White and Justin Gaston, gave a moving rendition of "If I can Dream".

After a piece on Idol Gives Back (idolgivesback.org) showing former Idol contestant Elliot Yamin and judge Kara DioGuardo on a trip to Africa, it was back to the elimination of the next one.

Ryan Seacrest said "1 more person, which will it be?". He continued: "Live, double elimination tonight". And then he said, "Aaron and Casey are safe". Then he said "Dim the lights", then asked the 'entire bottom row' to come to center stage.

This brought the remaining Idol contestants, Tim Urban, Crystal Bowersox, Michael Lynche, Katie Stevens, Siobahn Magnus and Lee DeWyze to center stage.

Ryan spoke to Lee, asking how it feels, Lee said 'it feels good'. Then he said to Siobahn, the 'panel was split on you', to Katie he said "Simon thought it was annoying', but you seemed to be taking it 'in your stride', and Katie said she was trying to 'grow each week'. Ryan asked Big Mike "how did the Judges save affect you last week?" Big Mike said, he was 'grateful', and said he 'loves the Judges, and loves the people'. Ryan said to Crystal, one of the Judges likened her performance to 'the 2nd coming of Bonnie Raitt', and Tim's was called one of the 'best performances' and quoted Simon that Tim 'went from zero to hero'.

Then Ryan said "After 34 million votes...Crystal Bowersox is safe, Siobahn Magnus is safe, take a seat."

Ryan then said to Lee DeWyze "You know, former Idol contestant (Chris) Daughtry sang the same song you did (A Little Less Conversation) in Season 5 - the very week he was eliminated". Then Ryan continued to Lee "Come walk with me," then Ryan walked over to the couch and said to Lee "Have a seat, you are safe".

So by now, there were 3 left on stage, Tim Urban, Michael Lynche and Katie Stevens.

Ryan Seacrest then stated "1 of you heads home -after Adam Lambert takes the stage". Ryan continued "Next week, the top 7 will sing inspirational songs, and singer Alicia Keys will be here."

Ryan then announced Adam Lambert: "Here's last years runner up with his hit 'What Do You Want From Me'." Adam Lambert gave a fantastic performance with lasers. When Ryan congratulated Adam after his performance, and asked him about the lasers, Adam said it was his idea, to bring the lasers to the show. Ryan said that was a 'first' for the show.

Now Ryan said find out 'what's happening with Tim, Mike and Katie. And after the break, Ryan said 't's been a long emotional journey' and the 'curtain will close' for one of you tonight.'

Ryan said "3 of you stand there, the person who is safe is Tim".

Ryan went on "Now it's between Mike and Katie. After a nationwide vote it's Katie (who is going home). Michael, you are safe".

Katie Stevens said 'Amazing people I met, amazing experience.' Then she sang her heart out with "Let It Be". ...'whisper words of wisdom....there will be an answer...let it be..."

Ryan told her at the end of her very moving song "you're making half of this room cry. We're gonna miss you, baby."

And so ends another riveting American Idol Results 2010, Season 9 show
