Ryan Seacrest opened tonight's American Idol Results Show 2010 by saying 'there are only 5 left' and "Who will rise to the top?"


Signs in the audience saying "We love Lee".

Ryan said "Exciting time for all of the contestants and for the judges. And unfortunately, last week we had to say goodbye to Siobahn. But this just tells you to be sure to vote for your favorite. Here are your Top 5!"

Ryan Seacrest said "We have a classic triple threat for the mentor tonight, he is a singer, musician and actor, Harry Connick, Jr.!"

"Harry did his first recording age 10. He has sold 25 million albums."

"Our theme tonight is on Frank Sinatra', and 'for 6 decades, he had a classic sound, and his popularity never faded." and "Frank Sinatra was a hit on Broadway", "He was iconic" and was called "Old Blue eyes". and " Next the Idol contestants and their mentor come together'.

Harry Connicks said "We had some fun', and 'my band is here'. and 'we're ready to have a good time' and 'i'll be playing for them'.

Harry also said he was 'impressed with how humble they were".
And 'the key?", "it's hard to do" and 'with the lyrics and the melody', they have to 'sing the words and melodies'.


Then Ryan Seacrest announced about the American Idol tour, details to be found on americanidol.com.

Then Ryan introduced in the audience, the 2 daughters of Frank Sinatra, Nancy Sinatra and Tina Sinatra and 'they have a gift for Simon Cowell, who has always been a big fan of Frank Sinatra". Simon went to meet them and hugged them both while they gave him one of their 'dad's hankies, monogrammed from Vegas".

Then Ryan announced Aaron Kelly, the first contestant of the night's show. Ryan asked Aaron about Harry Connick, Jr., and Aason said 'He cracks jokes, makes you confortable'. Harry said about Aaron 'He's a great guy, wish him the best'.

Aaron sang "Fly Me To The Moon".

Randy said that tonight is about "Who is in this to win it" and "Who's got the fire", and "you did really good job!'

Ellen said she thought 'the piano was a little pitchy' (making a crack at Harry Connick, Jr.), and told Aaron "I didn't hear any country in this song' and she thought it was 'a beautiful vocal'.

Kara didn't think it was as strong as last week, and said Aaron needs 'to break out as a performer'.

Simon: "I'm with Kara" and "I adored Frank Sinatra" and 'If he was a lion, then you were just a mouse', but he also said 'people like you' and 'you do try hard'.

Ryan Seacrest said to Aaron "Good job, man!"

Then Ryan said 'Next up is Casey James, singing 'Blue Skies" from Old Blue Eyes". He introduced Casey, saying "Casey James, Ladies!" and then "We almost lost Casey last week, not just because he was in the bottom 3". then looked at Casey to respond. Casey James said "A friend called and said 'I need you on Tuesday, we got a gig that pays 50 bucks and you get a free meal' and I told him I am busy on Tuesday" and told his friend to tune into American Idol show. Ryan said, "we will give your friend a shout-out" and "I mean, free food!'

Ryan then asked Casey about Harry Connick, Jr. and Casey said "He is totally awesome" and "he's hilarious'.

Harry Connick said about Casey James "really cool for him to sign with a big band'.

Randy said about Casey song "Dude, this was your worst performance', ' pitchy', 'out of your element' and 'it didn't work'.

Ellen said 'bad idea to have that piano on stage' (taking another crack at Harry Connick, Jr.) and told Casey she thought he was 'very stiff' and 'i agree with Randy'.

Kara said 'at least you held some notes' and said 'the bad thing was, you sounded like a lamb.'

Simon said 'there good news and bad news', 'good news, the band was great' and 'bad news, you weren't fantastic'.

Ryan Seacrest said to Casey James "Were you uncomfortable?' and Casey answered "Yes". Ryan then asked Harry Connick, Jr., and Harry said 'it's hard to hear up here, that was the problem'.

Next up is Crystal Bowersox. She sings "Summer Wind" and Harry Connick Jr. asked her why and she just said 'it has deep connections for me'.

Randy thought 'it was a great arrangement' and 'it was ok' and 'a little sleepy'.

Ellen wanted Crystal to 'loosen up' and thought she was 'so impressive'.

Kara said 'you were out of your element', but 'you showed you could handle it'.

Simon said "I love the song' but thought Crystal was 'a little bit indulgent' and said 'if you survive (don't get voted off), you 'got to be in it to win it' and 'you gotta nail it'.

Ryan said 'it's a little cold tonight' and Crystal said 'It's a sweet love story and I think I should sing it sweetly' and 'if you are singing to your lover', ' i don't feel like I should sing really big notes, just because I am on American Idol.'

Before she left the stage, Ryan told her she was 'really pretty tonight'.

Next is Big Mike, Michael Lynche.

Ryan introduces him, saying 'it's retro tonight, with Sinatra' and said to Mike 'you are in your element' and Mike agreed, and spoke of his 12 piece band in New York. He sang 'The Way You Look Tonight'.

Harry Connick said about Big Mike "If he is lucky enough to find that fleeting moment of truth, it will have been perfect'.

Randy was excited, said 'Unbelievable arrangement, unbelievable vocal' and "Mike is in it to win it!'

Ellen thought he was the 'most comfortable one on stage', and said 'you showed that tonight'. And she said Mike had 'lots of charisma', and was 'really good'

Kara thought Mike "did everything right'.

Simon said this has been 'a tricky night' and 'I felt that you listened' and 'you just clicked', and 'fantastic arrangement.'

Ryan asked Big Mike "Relieved" and Mike said "This is my home now'.

Ryan told Mike "Do your wave" and they both waved.

Then Ryan Seacrest said "One more and that's Lee DeWyze.

Harry Connick, Jr. said about Lee "My wife thinks he's cute' and said 'he'sa new improved version of me'.

Randy said, "Another great arrangement, you stayed your rocker self'.

Ellen said told Lee "If this were the last night (of the competition) you would have won the whole thing!'

Kara asked Lee: 'Do you think you can win?"

Lee answered "Yes, I think I can win" then Kara told him to go home and write 100 times

"I can win, I can win!" and she said "You can win this thing!'

Simon said "Harry is incredible' and told Lee "He brought out your personality' and 'your confidence' and said Lee 'gave 110% on his performance' and it was the best of the night!'

Ryan Seacrest told Lee "Congratulations!' and then said "Tomorrow night, Harry Connick, Jr. takes the stage, and Lady GaGa will be here'.

So ends another American Idol Results Show of 2010, and then there will be 4, after tomorrow night's American Idol results show of 2010.

American Idol - Who is NOT going home this week?

My pick for 'Who's NOT going home" on American Idol this week, is first of all, American Idol contestant Crystal Bowersox is NOT going home, and secondly, Casey James is NOT going home.

Here's my breakdown of tonight's show:
The theme was of songs written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, which to me, seems to be a daunting task for some of these nine young people who remain on American Idol.

First up was young Aaron Kelly, and Simon Cowell said, "Aaron, you are seventeen, your song was old fashioned, while you should be singing something young and relevant.'"

Katie Stevens was up next, belting out "Let it Be". Randy Jackson says it "was her best performance ever" and '"that was hot!' Ellen said "Amazing!" Kara says "you're blossoming, and confident." Simon said "Tonight, you got it right!"

Third up was Andrew Garcia, with "Can't buy me Love". Randy said it was "really solid, a little corny, but okay."
Ellen piped up with "but you know, you CAN buy love", then she went on to say it was "a perfect song choice" and finished with "I loved it". Kara said "I want to love it, but..." then she continued, "I thought you could have done more with your interpretation of the song". Simon thought "the band overpowered" and that it was "old-fashioned and irrelevant".

Fourth was Michael Lynche or "Big Mike" as he has become known. At the finish of his song, Randy says he is 'loving the fact", of "seeing the artist in you blossom", Ellen thought he was 'incredible', Kara, said he was "Amazing" and "you were committed" and "Great Job!" Simon said he "didn't love it as much as the other three did", and thought "this was what you hear in musicals" and thought he was 'sliding backwards', and was 'too over the top'.

When Ryan Seacrest said before the next break that 'Bowersox Rocks us next', he absolutely got it right! Crystal Bowersox did "Rock Us" with a great rendition of "Come Together". Crystal, in her washed out, holes-in-the-knees jeans, and dangling earring, said she believes in 'stay true to yourself' as a motto and we learned that her home town of Elliston, Ohio now has a sign which says "Home of Crystal Bowersox".

I'm thinking while she is singing, "Crystal Bowersox is really knocking this one out of the park!". And it seems all the judges did agree, with Randy saying "Another solid performance", "you got into your groove", "you won me over" and "you're in the zone!" Ellen said "I just have to find a new way to tell you how great you are", and "you made it current". Kara said "one of my favorite performances", and likened the song and singer to Bonnie Raitt. Kara further said Crystal was "slinky, sexy, playful and smiling" during her performance. Simon said "that is a song performance I can hear on the radio", "that's how you make a song work", "terrific!", and "much better than last week".

The always-smiling Tim Urban (no relation that we know of to top country artist Keith Urban) was up next. "All My Loving" was his song choice and I thought he did a great job on it. Randy said he is thinking "Is it a good 'Tim' performance" and thought it was 'much better than the last couple of weeks'. Randy also asked about his 'Beatle-looking haircut', and said "I like the hairdo". Ellen thought tonight's performance was Tim's "second best performance after "Hallelula' and it was very good" and she also said "the girls go crazy" over him. Kara said it 'was his best performance with the guitar" and she said "you can smile'. Simon said "You did really well tonight, no gimmicks, didn't try to 'oversing' it" and said "you take the criticism like a man" and "I'm really proud of you."
Tim Urban said "I really enjoyed that performance!"

Casey James, of the blonde curly hair, sang "Jealous Guy", written by John Lennon. Randy said "I love that you're playing the acoustic guitar", and "You set yourself apart", "I love this" and "I really felt that."

Ellen said "That was your best performance to date," and that it was "soulful". She also said "I was moved by it" and "You have a great voice". Kara said "You showed vulnerability, and showed depth", and "You have a range, you know your voice". Kara also said, "We said 'push yourself' and you have". Simon thought it "was the best performance of the night so far" and thought Casey put his "stamp on the song", Simon continued " I'm very, very impressed with you tonight. Ryan Seacrest commented that "it was believable".

Someone close to me said, while we were watching the show, "Casey James has got the looks, he's got the voice, he's got the talent. He's going to be a great star!" I must say, I do agree!

Siobhan Magnus was up next and I thought it was a great performance, but I was not familar with the song she chose.
Randy said "I love watching you", and "Nobody screams 'artist' like you" and "I love see the tender side of you."
Ellen said, "You march to the beat of your own drum" and "I thought it was beautiful". Kara said "You showed control", and "You were restrained, polite", and "I'm not sure you would hear that on the radio". Simon asked her about her song choice and Siobhan said "I'm here for my baby sisters who are my whole world". Simon said "You came back much stronger, you are always unpredictable" . Siobhan said she and some of the other contestants talk among themselves and she says to herself "Holy Smokes, this is big!"

Last, but not least, was Lee DeWyze with his version of "Hey Jude", and almost seemed to lose focus with a bag-pipe player coming out toward the end of the performance. Randy said "You don't have to be nervous, you got this!" and told him "Believe!" Ellen said she like his "confidence", and "it was a great job" and "loved it". Kara said that in spite of some 'off moments', "I'm still a fan". Simon said he "thought it was funny" about a bagpipe player coming out during the song.

Who will win American Idol?

The television reality show, American Idol, is sometimes loud, sometimes funny, sometimes embarrasing, but always and eternally entertaining. We all tend to watch the show and even mimic the judges as we say "He (or she) is just no good on that song, and should try another type of song." We have all become judges-in-waiting as we sit home on the sofa, feasting on our popcorn and soft drinks, watching from week to week. Whether we actually call in and vote for one of the contestants or not, we tend to feel an ownership in our favorites and we get down-hearted if our fav gets 'kicked to the curb' too soon.
The top 12 contestants this year: Aaron Kelly, Andrew Garcia, Casey James, Crystal Bowersox, Didi Benami, Katie Stevens, Lacey Brown (voted off March 17th), Lee Dewyze, Michael Lynche, Paige Miles (voted off March 24th, Siobhan Magnus and Tim Urban.
