Idol Gives back- Part III (the fun part)

After all that fluffy money grabbing for charity, we get to the elimination.

$60 Million so far- Then the Idols sing "Shout to the Lord"

And the hour-long ritual to eliminate one contestant-

Celebrity montage of lip syncing to Monkees version of "I'm a Believer" -kind of fun.

Brooke is safe, David Cook (should be in bottom three) is safe (no justice), David Archuletta is safe, then they cut to a break. It occurs to me that a typical Idol manufactured drama would be to milk this out for a hour extra hour and have them all be safe. That would make me mad, I think. They could have done that last night.

Forrest Whittacker tells us about the plight of children suffering from Malaria in Africa. this extra plug makes me think all the more that no one is going home.

Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown sing some song - I missed the name. It's supposed to be inspirational ( Gosh, I am really cynical about this whole thing, aren't I).

Then another commercial- real commercials (the kind that make money for the network).

Michael Chikless tells us to give money before he licks down our door. Ford ad-

Jason Castro is safe, Kristy is safe.

Syesha, Michael and Karly are in the bottom three. I can't really argue about them deserving it, but David Cook really choked this week. I think he should be there.

Presidential Candidates make their pitch for "Idol Gives Back"

The judges discuss whether it is the 'right choice' and Simon says it is. They overlook the fact that David Cook belongs there. Karly and Syesha are safe and Michael has lowest votes and is going home.

Well if it couldn't be David Cook- based only on this week's performance- this makes sense.

I'm disappointed that Michael Johns is going home. He was my pick to in the final two. I really liked his style, his looks and his personality. Maybe for him it's a good thing. He will sign a record deal and go on to make a ton of money. Good for him.

I agree that he will be successful, and I think , like daughtry he may do better than if he won.

The fact is, however, that he really was not good this week. I still think David C was worse but he obviously has a bigger following.

I didn't like him at first but I am really starting to like Jason. I am thinking I want to see him sing "And the Singer Sings his Songs." It would be great for his range.
