American Idol's Top 5 Live Results Show

...and then there were four!

After American Idol’s remaining contestants performed songs made popular by the Rat Pack during Tuesday's show, more than 47 million votes were casted and the results were quite surprising.

Yesterday, my predicted for the top two performers were accurate. American agreed with me and kept Danny Gokey and Allison Iraheta in the competition. That left Matt Giraud, Kris Allen and Adam Lambert (what?) in the bottom three for the night.

The results of having Adam in the bottom three really shocked the judges. To quote Paula "This is Crazy." She then proceed to say "I wish you could all stay together like the Rat Pack." But we all know that's not going to happen.

Then, to compound the surprise, Kris was pronounced saved, joining Danny and Allison, and putting Adam in the bottom two for the first time. Now America truly got that one wrong!

At that point, it seemed inevitable that Matt, the one contestant whose stay was lengthened by the judges’ save, was going home sweet home and he was eliminated from the competition. This must have been a sigh of relief for Adam who has been predicted to win this year's competition.

Last nights show also included performances by the legendary Natalie Cole, who looked totally amazing. We also had the pleasure (if you want to call it that) to hear season five's winner (Soul Patrol) Taylor Hicks, followed by this week's mentor Jamie Foxx belting out his latest tune.

Over all it was a crazy results show and I am confident America will make sure Adam is not in the bottom next week. Hopefully Danny is not either.

Tune into to American Idol next week when the remaining four will perform "Rock 'n' Roll" tunes live on Tuesday night at 8:00 pm (ET) and the results show on Wednesday at 9:00 pm (ET) only on FOX.

American Idol's Top 5 Predictions

In a night dedicated to Rat Pack standards, Randy Jackson was surprised at how well the five finalists were handling the classic songs. Simon at one point gave credit to the night’s mentor, Jamie Foxx, who won the Oscar playing Ray Charles in "Ray."

The five finalists truly did a remarkable job with this genre, making it tough to decide who’s going to be sent packing.

The only performance where the judges did not agree was Matt Giraud's rendition of "My Funny Valentine." Randy gave him a "6 out of 10" while Simon, who is not a fan of Matt, said he was “absolutely brilliant.” Personally, I think it's Matt's time to go home sweet home.

My two favorite picks of the night were (1st choice) Danny Gokey's “Come Rain or Come Shine” which the judges raved about and (2nd choice) Allison Iraheta's "Someone to Watch Over Me", which Kara predicted would get her into the finals. Simon on the other hand was not too impressed and predicted that she would end up in the bottom three tonight.

So based on the performances (and not how America has been voting), I predict that Matt and Kris should be in the bottom two, however I fear that Allison will be there with Matt instead and may possibly be sent home tonight.

For the results, don't miss the live show tonight at 9:00 pm (ET) on FOX. Taylor Hicks (whoever he is) will be performing tonight.

American Idol's Top 5 Live Performance Show

The Top 5 finalists will be performing standards made famous by the Rat Pack tonight at 8:00 pm (ET) on FOX. This should be a great night for Danny Gokey and Kris Allen, however what kind of surprises does Adam Lambert and Allison Iraheta have in store for us.

This week's elimination will take place during the Live Results Show on Wednesday at 9:00 pm (ET). Also on FOX. Hopefully Matt Giraud is the one going home this week.

American Idol's Top 7 (Again) Live Performance Show

Yesterday, was an AMAZING night on the American Idol stage. All of the seven remaining contestants had great performances. Some more original than others.

But the night was stolen by three incredible and original performances including Adam Lambert's "If I Can't Have You" from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, Allison Iraheta's rendition of Donna Summer's "Hot Stuff", and Kris Allen's performance of another Donna Summer classic (and my least favorite song from the Disco queen) "She Work's Hard For The Money". They were my top three choices of the night.

Now, this does not mean that "dreamy eyes" Danny Gokey is no longer one of my favorites. His performance of Earth Wind and Fire's "September" was very uplifting and enjoyable, it's just Adam, Allison and Kris were extremely original and performed their songs as if they were already superstars.

Anoop Desai's performance "Dim All The Lights", the third Donna Summer hit sung last night, was also delightful to the ear (except for the last note).

Unfortunately, because Matt Giraud was saved by the judges last week, tonight TWO of the remaining seven will be eliminated from the competition and in my opinion the bottom two are Matt and Lil Rounds. I hate to see Lil go before Anoop, but her choice of song (Chaka Khan's "I'm Every Woman" was the wrong one for her). Why she did not sing a Donna Summer or Thelma Houston classic beats me.

For the live results, make sure you tune into FOX tonight at 9:00 pm (ET). David Archuleta will be performing and I have a strong feeling we will have a surprise guest performance by the Disco Queen, Donna Summer.

American Idol's Top 7 Shocking Results Show!

As we previously reported, the Top 7 contestants all performed well during the Tuesday live performance show. No one stood out as being the "worst" performer and deserving to depart during last night's results show. So, here's what happened.

America's choices for bottom three this week were (by no surprise) Anoop Desai, Lil Rounds and Matt Giraud. According to the judges (and me), the "right" three performers were in the bottom three this week.

Ryan Seacrest narrowed it down from three to two, by sending Anoop "back to the couch" for another chance to perform next week (and torture us with his cocky attitude). We were then left with Lil and Matt in the bottom two. It was quite obvious that Lil would be going home last night.

But in an odd turn of event, Lil was NOT the one with the lowest number of votes. It was actually Matt.Matt was given another chance to perform Bryan Adams "Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman", which he butchered this time around, and see if he would be saved by the judges. It turned out to be his worst performance ever.

As he was singing for the "SAVE" vote, the judges made the decision to keep him on for one more week, therefore no one was eliminated this week. This is great news for Matt, but horrible news for everyone else. Because next week, two contestants will be eliminated and no one can save them.

It was a bad choice for the judges to use the SAVE vote on Matt, as they should have kept it one more week in case one of the front runners (Adam Lambert, Danny Gokey or Allison Iraheta) would "mistakenly" be in the bottom three and eliminated by America's lack of votes.

Next week the Top 7 (again) will be performing to Disco classics. This may turn out to be a great week for underdogs like Lil, but what about all of the others? Well, we will have to tune into the live performance show on Tuesday at 8:00 pm (ET) on FOX to hear them belt out some disco hits (or possibly misses).

American Idol's Top 7 Live Performance Show

Last night's live performance show of the remaining seven contestants could easily be labeled as the "SUPER 7" show! It was probably one of the best shows this season with practically all of the contestants belting out their best tunes to date.

I will start of by saying that when I first heard Quentin Tarantino was this week's "mentor" and the Idols contestants were going to sing songs made famous at the silver screen, I was a little bit concerned. I misinterpreted Quentin's association with the show with having to hear the contestants perform unknown songs from Quentin's movies such as "Reservoir Dog", "Pulp Fiction" and "Kill Bill". Instead, we heard lovely rendition of songs from "Anaconda", "Easy Rider", "The Rose", and "Endless Love", just to name a few.

So, after last night's performances, here's my run down of whom I think did the best and who may be in the bottom three tonight.

I will start off by saying that Adam Lambert's "Born to be Wild" performance was another original masterpiece which may eventually win him the title of American Idol 2009. Adam can really make any song his own...and truly should it with his rendition of this classic song.

Danny Gokey brought tears to my eyes with his solo performance of "Endless Love". His beautiful voice, and his emotional expression made this my favorite performance of the night. I am sure he was performing that beautiful song to his wife who was looking down from heaven.

Allisson Iraheta's and Kris Allen's performances also deserve a round of applause. They really did a remarkable job with making it their own and sounded like true professionals on the Idols stage.

Unfortunately, someone has to be in the bottom three each week and this week I believe the bottom three will be Matt Giraud, Lil Rounds and probably Allison Iraheta (due to her lack of popularity).

In my opinion, Matt had the weakest performance last night, but America will likely keep him on for a little longer and Lil Rounds end up leaving us this week. I think that will be the wrong choice as I personally can do without Matt and Anoop Desai on the show.

So for the results, watch American Idol tonight at 9:00 pm (ET) on FOX to see if my predictions were right!
