Fergie’s one-handed cartwheels! Teri singing Carrie! Further evidence that Robin Williams isn’t even remotely funny!
This week “Idol” gave back, and they gave till it hurt. It seemed as the though the giving was never going to stop, especially when the pleas for donations and awkward celebrity lip-synching crept into last night’s surprising results show.
Why so surprising, you ask? Crikey, mates—Michael Johns was voted off! Sure, his performance on Tuesday wasn’t as stellar as the last couple of weeks, but he was still pretty outstanding. We didn’t see that one coming from a mile away, but that just means we’re stepping up our predictions this week.
The judges’ tableSimon's harshest slam: Ouch! Simon was on the receiving end of the cutting remarks when Jimmy Kimmel spent the bulk of his time onstage at “Idol Gives Back” making disparaging remarks about Simon’s hair, wardrobe—and extremely large nipples.
Randy’s most repetitive comment: Other than describing David Archuleta’s performance as "hot to the infinite power," Randy had absolutely nothing positive to say this week. He’s like Simon, but without dispensing advice or really having a purpose on the show. (Sorry, dawg.)
Least intelligible Paula-ism: “And the high notes you hit? I think my chihuahuas are going to come join you on stage.”
The good, the bad and the pitchyThe frontrunners: Is it too soon to start calling Kristy Lee Cook indomitable yet? This is only half-sarcasm, because it’s really becoming hard to imagine a world in which she is actually voted off. Maybe she’ll finally falter if she goes head to head with the David.
The dark horses: Last week we said that Brooke White could not be stopped by one stint in the bottom three. What she can be stopped by, however, is her seriously bad attitude. If this girl doesn’t stop talking and start smiling, our faith in her longevity will tank.
Who’s going next: Jason, Carly and Syesha: barring divine intervention, one of them will be sent packing next week. We'll bet Paula's chihuahuas on it.
