American Idol Results Show 2010 - Wednesday night, who goes home?

American Idol Results Show 2010 - It's Wednesday night, who goes home?

After an action-packed night of stars and singers performing for the 2 hour "Idol Gives Back" show, Ryan Seacrest says "Next, find out which one of these 3, unfortunately, is going home...live, after the break."

The bottom 3 were Aaron Kelly, Casey James and Tim Urban. After the break, Ryan continued "We are wrapping up Idol Gives Back with the results. Next week we will have Shania Twain as mentor, and you can go on ITunes and look at the tracks the contestants have to choose from for their songs."

Then Ryan went on "Dim the lights, 1 of these 3 is safe". Then Ryan said, "Aaron is safe, take a seat".

As Ryan went on "1 of these 2 is safe and 1 is headed home" and "the one who is headed home is....Tim Urban. Casey is safe".

Ryan also said to Tim Urban "Keep that smile", and Ryan then thanked the judges for their hard work. Showing Tim in earlier moments on American Idol we heard Tim say: "I know this has completely changed my life" and "I got an opportunity the rest of the world only dreams about" and "It meant everything to me".

So ended another round of elimination on American Idol tonight and this leaves only 6 American Idol contestants to vie for the title of this Season's American Idol Winner of 2010.

More to come later...

American Idol Results Show 2010 who goes home?

April 20, 2010

Top 7 tonight and who goes home?

Ryan Seacrest greeted the crowd, said “When you cast a vote, you change lives” And “this is the time when we give back” and w’re very busy tonight, and Idol Gives back” Pasadena Civic Auditorium

Top 7, celebrity Alicia Keys, she has had tremendous impact on children, she’s known as the Princess of Soul, sold 30 million records, top selling R & B of the decade.

Tonight’s them is songs of inspiration. Alicia Keys said “it’s about how to bring out emotion” and “I want to help them find out what they’re made of”.


1. Casey James, first up, sang “Don’t stop thinking about Tomorrow” by Fleetwood Mac. Ryan Seacrest asked before Casey started about the song, Casey said “It’s about me ‘being in the song’, in the present.”

Randy said, “It was good, but not your best” and “I want you to step out of that comfort zone”.

Ellen, said “great guitar”, but the show is at the point now where we are looking for someone to be great and “You have to be great”.

Kara said this was not like last week when you sang ‘Jealous Guy’. “This was like ‘jambam’, like everybody else:.

Simon said, “not inspiring, no emotion, no originality” and thought it was a “lazy song choice”.

Ryan Seacrest asked Casey then, “Are you surprised at the Judges comments?” and Casey said “Not surprised, but I love that song, and I love Fleetwood Mac.”

2. Next up, was Lee DeWyze, whom Ryan Seacrest introduced as ‘former paint salesman’. Ryan asked Lee about his buddy, Andrew Garcia, who was voted off last week’s show. Lee said “I am supporting him in whatever he wants to do”.

Lee sang Simon and Garfunkel’s “The Boxer”, as he said the song ‘speaks to me’, and ‘inspires me’.

Alicia Keyes told Lee that when you sing this song “people have to feel like you ARE ‘The Boxer’”.

Randy said “You know, I’m one of your biggest fans”, and “You are going to be a great artist” and “You are going to have a great career”.

Ellen said, “Lee, that was a beautiful song choice”, and “It had soul and depth”, and “Best performance so far”.

Kara said “Last week, Simon said “you had your moment’, but I think tonight “You had your moment!” and “Clearly, you feel connected to the song”.

Simon said “Even though you are only #2 so far tonight, that was ‘Best of the Night!’” and “The difference is staggering, it was emotional, it was inspirational” and “Absolutely brilliant” and “Good for you!”

3. Tim Urban sang “Better Days”. Alicia Keyes said “when he is singing it, this could very well be his own song”.

Randy said “For me, this was an interesting song choice” and “it was like ok” and “It was like good karaoke”.

Ellen said “it was like soup of the day” and “I didn’t like your soup”.

Kara said “This was a new Tim” and “This wasn’t the best execution” and “not the best performance”.

Simon thought it was ‘a step too high’, and said while ‘you have improved’, this was ‘a little bit of a let down’.

4.Aaron Kelly, sang “I Believe I can Fly”.

Randy said “You picked a giant song” and ‘You’ve got a huge voice’ and ‘good job’.

Ellen said “I believe you can fly!” and thought Aaron ‘handled the song real good’.

Kara said “It was like you were taking off” and then “you hit it” and “you started flying”.

Simon said “It took guts to take on that song” and “You gave it your all” but thought “It wasn’t very good”.

Ryan Seacrest asked Aaron about singing the song since he was 5 years old and Aaron said he sang it at pre-school.

5. Siobahn Magnus, up next, sang “When you believe” and Alicia Keyes told her during practice “That’s your ‘money spot’” and was “very impressed”.

Randy said, “You probably picked the toughest song” and “it was just okay, for me”.

Ellen said to Randy, “I disagree” and she thought it was good.

Kara said “It was really well sung”, but it ‘was not a musical”.

Simon said “Not the right song” for her and thought it was “a bit all over the place”.

When Ryan asked Siobahn about her choice of song, she said” I love the song” and “The meaning of it is why I am here”.

6. Michael Lynche, sang “Hero”. He told Ryan Seacrest he had made a list of about 200 songs he wanted to sing if he was ever on Idol, and this is one from that list.

Alicia Keyes, said “I like it when people take a song and make it different, make it their own”.

Randy said “I was worried about the (choice of) song” and “you held your own”.

Ellen just said “Great job!”

Kara said “Not my favorite performance”.

Simon said “You sang it pretty well”, but said “that was from Spiderman, wasn’t it?” and thought it was ‘artificial’, and said ‘it didn’t jell for me’ but also said “you’re gonna be around next week”.

7. Last but not least, Crystal Bowersox, with no instrument for the first time, sang “People Get Ready”. As she finished the song, she broke down crying on the end of it.

Alicia Keyes said she thought Crystal was “very, very special” and “people are going to love this performance” and told Crystal “Go for it!:

Randy said “You know, I am a fan since Day 1! And Let’s give her a standing ovation!”

Ellen thought Crystal was ‘never more beautiful’ and just gets ‘better and better’.

Kara said Crystal’s likes ‘taking risks’ and said ‘everybody likes to call you Mama Sox” and “Now we know why, you schooled all the contestants tonight”.

Simon thought ‘it was inspirational’ and ‘fantastically….completely different class’.

Ryan Seacrest asked about her getting so emotional at the end of the song and Crystal said “My dad is here’ and that she was very ‘emotional’ and ‘thankful for her family’. And she had to borrow Ryan’s ‘hankie’ from his suit coat, which didn’t look like it was real, just a ‘prop’

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

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

6. Siobahn Magnus sang ‘Suspicious Minds”, after saying to Ryan that she is a true Elvis fan.
Randy said ‘you took some chances’, ‘you came alive’ and ‘that girl can sing’.
Ellen said ‘you look great’ and ‘you really have a beautiful voice’.
Kara said it’s like ‘you have 2 voices’, and ‘I wasn’t crazy about it’.
Simon said ‘it was like ‘a time machine, in 20 years’ and ‘very erratic’ and ‘it’s like you lost who you were’.

Michael Lynche sang “In The Ghetto”
Randy said ‘the song was sleepy’ but ‘you got hot vocals!’
Ellen said “I’m glad we saved you!’
Kara said ‘that was a beautiful song’ and ‘you sang it well’.
Simon said that was a ‘favorite performance’ and ‘terrific choice of song’.

Randy said ‘letting all the vibes out’ and ‘you entertained me!’
Ellen said ‘lots of horns in it’ and ‘you can sing’.
Kara said “You showed us Judges!”
Simon said “I didn’t like the song very much’.


Casey James sang, ‘Lawdy Miss Claudy’
Randy said it was ‘a bluesy thing’ but that it was ‘solid’.
Ellen said ‘it wasn’t as exciting’ but ‘you’re always good.’
Kara thought it ‘fell short’.
Simon said he thought it was ‘completely forgettable’.

American Idol 2010 Results Show - Who goes home?

American Idol 2010 results show - Who goes home tonight?

I don't want it to be Crystal Bowersox and I don't want it to be Casey James!

The show opens with the 9 final American Idol contestants, Aaron Kelly, Michael Lynch, Lee DeWyze, Crystal Bowersox, Katie Stevens, Andrew Garcia, Tim Urban, Casey James and Siobhan Magnus harmonizing on a John Lennon-Paul McCartney song medley.
Then before too long, Ryan Seacrest takes the first steps forward in eliminating tonight's losing American Idol contestant.

Ryan asks Tim Urban, how he is feeling? Tim answers "I'm feeling good." then Ryan says to Katie Stevens, "are you nervous?", and Katie admits, "Yes, I am feeling nervous."

Ryan starts by calling out Siobhan, and says that "Kara said you were believable when you sang", then he said "Siobhan, go to the center of the stage".

Then Crystal Bowersox was next, and Ryan said "after the nationwide vote, Crystal, you too, go to the center of the stage". Then Katie Stevens was next, and Katie told Ryan "I was singing for my grandma". Then Ryan said, "go to the center of the stage". Ryan then asked Randy if he thought these 3 girls would go home tonight. Randy said "No, they won't go home, based on their performances last night."

Ryan called out to Crystal, "Have a seat, Crystal, you are safe!". Then he spoke to Katie and Siobahn, "You are both safe, the 3 girls are all safe, it will be one of the boys tonight".

Then a performance by a new singer that Kara signed, Jason sang his hit song. Very good performance with dancers as backup, everyone enjoyed it, and Simon even complimented Kara on her 'find'.

Then American Idol former contestant, runner up David Archuleta, came onstage and gave an astounding rendition of John Lennon's "Imagine". After a great performance by David, the crowd went wild. Ryan asked David if this performance made him as nervous as the final show when he got runner up. David said, no, he thought the final show made him more nervous. Ryan said "have you met Ellen", and David said "Yes, I met Ellen, I was even on her show". Ryan asked David what he's been doing, David said he's been writing, and recording on his next album.

Then Ryan says "Dim the lights, get the results of the bottom 3 from these 6 guys".

Lee DeWyze is the first called to the front. Ryan says "Lee sang 'Hey Jude', showed more confidence according to the judges".
Lee said "I need to show the confidence. I do have it". Randy looked at Lee and said "Own it, baby, own it, own it!"
Lee was sent to the one side of the stage by Ryan.

Big Mike was the next contestant to be called up by Ryan. Ryan said "You sang Eleanor Rigby, the judges thought the vocal was fantastic. Mike, you go to the other side of the stage from Lee to a new group.:

Casey James was next. Ryan said "You sang 'Jealous Guy', Simon thought it was the best performance of the night. Casey, join Lee on that side of the stage."

Young Aaron Kelly was called to the front, Ryan said "You sand 'Long and Winding Road'." Then Ryan asked "Does Aaron have a good enough vocal to return next week?" Simon said "Aaron is hard working, but Aaron, you just need to work harder, and imagine you are making a record."
Aaron joined Big Mike on his side of the stage.

Then Tim Urban was called up, Ryan said "Tim sang 'All My Loving', Tim, joine Lee and Casey."

Then Andrew, last of the 6 remaining guys was called up. Ryan said "You sang 'Can't Buy Me Love'. Ellen and Randy thought it was a solid performance. Join Mike and Aaron on their side of the stage. Then Ryan said "One of these two groups is safe, one group is the bottom 3".

Then Ryan asked Ellen to choose which group she thought was the 'bottom 3'.
Ellen said "This is horrible, having to choose, but I would say the group to the left (Big Mike, Andrew and Aaron)".

Then Ryan said that is the 'bottom 3' group, and told the other group of Lee, Tim and Casey to have a seat as they were safe.

Ryan then said that one of the 'bottom 3' group is safe, and he told Aaron he was safe, have a seat. And that either Big Mike or Andrew would be leaving, unless the judges choose to 'save' the bottom one, either Andrew or Mike.

Rhianna then took the stage, and 'wowed' the audience with her superb performance.

Then it was back to the elimination of one of the American Idol guys tonight.

Ryan said "Michael and Andrew are uncertain of their future. One is safe - that is Andrew who is safe! Big Mike is now going to 'sing for his life'.

After a very stirring performance, Big Mike (Michael Lynche) awaited the decision on his future from the Randy, Ellen, Kara and Simon. Would they use their ONLY 'save' to keep him in the competition, or would they 'let him go home'?

Ryan asked, "Judges, what is your decision? Will you use your ONLY 'save' or send him home?"

As Big Mike and the audience and the world waited on tenterhooks, Simon began to speak to Michael about his performance:
"We wish you'd done something like that yesterday. This decision was unanimous, if it's any comfort to you. We have decided. We're gonna see you next week!"
The crowd went wild! Big Mike was saved til next week!

As the show went off, Ryan reminded us, "We will lose 2 performers next week!"

It was a very riveting show! It was American Idol 2010 at its best!
