Greetings! On tonight's American Idol results show, one contestant was sent packing and JLo breathed new life into the sequins industry. Here's what went down...
Randy was able to give some feedback on the performances, so the energy of the show quickly went into a downward spiral. Ryan tried to pick it up by announcing that Ben, Alex and Jena are safe. He then sent Malaya to the stools of doom after her hectic Bruno Mars performance last night. Dexter, Majesty, and Sam lived to see another week as well...and MK joined Malaya, sitting in what has to be the most uncomfortable seat ever. Finally Caleb, Jessica, Emily and C.J. breathed a sigh of relief as well...and Kristen rounded out the bottom 3.
The 2013 American Idol champ returned tonight (woohoo!), and the phenomenal Candice Glover seriously commanded the stage with a medley of "Cried" and "Same Kind of Man." I forgot how much fun it is to watch her, and I am keeping my fingers crossed that she's one of the Idol winners who we continue to hear great things from beyond the first year of their victory.
Results! MK landed a spot in the Top 12, leaving Kristen and Malaya in the dreaded "holding hands but really wishing the other person is eliminated" sway. In this situation, I had hoped the booted contestant would be Malaya. There's sacrificing some of your vocals for entertainment, and then there's never getting your vocals on point because you're all over the stage like your pants are on fire. (Side note - producers, please don't ever set her pants on fire).
Sadly though, we said goodbye to Kristen tonight. She chose "Turning Tables" to sing for her life, but with it only being week one, the judges did not use their save. I do feel bad for her. Sure she may have been a middle of the pack kind of singer who wasn't going to win anyway...but the worst of the 13? Absolutely not.
Next week the Top 12 compete again, knowing now that they shouldn't sing Kelly Clarkson songs no one is a shoe in. Will the folks who gave lackluster performances last night step it up next week? Will Emily find her yang? (Keith's words, not mine). We'll find out when the contestants take the stage again. Til then!
