Noriega looks like he's waiting on medical results or something, and Yeager totally knows he sucks balls in comparison to the token gay diva.
JASON, YOU IS OUT. Seacrest tries to console the crybaby, but that won't do. Luckily for Jason's dignity, he actually sang better than he did two nights prior. Ahh, fight or flight.
PART TWO OF THIS FOUR-PART EPIC TALE OF ELIMINATIONS:
Asia'h got through, despite having the stupidest spelling for a name in the history of names.
Brooke, despite taking a risk by playing amateur coffee shopish guitar and a song by CARLY SIMON, got through, too.
Amanda Over-does-it stays; Alexandrea, your 15 minutes end here.
Randy disagrees and confirms poor song choice. Paula says it's the beginning of her career (and I'm the next Stone Phillips).
Through Alexandrea's final song, Archuleta was BAWLIN'. I wonder she popped his cherry or something. Anyway, it was kinda sad to see the most likable character on television cry, for when Archuleta cries, America cries.
Lights down, one more elimination:
Let's cut the filler -- in a showdown between Kady "I really desire to be Britney Spears" Malloy and Alaina, Douchefest lets Alaina know she's out.
...and in front of 30 million+ viewers, breaks down and exclaims under heaps of tears, "I... CAN'T SING!!!" It was purty sad.
After the remaining contestants console Alaina, telling her to sing all the while quietly reveling in celebratory ecstasy, she actually pulls the mic and reaffirms the fact that this chick truly cannot sing.
After coming back from break, Douchefest says that there are a couple items of AI news:
1. NEW OPENING TITLE SEQUENCES
2. NEW STAGE
3. 'IDOL GIVES BACK' COMES BACK!!!
Again, it will be a star studded event with a bunch of performances and reasons to not feel bad about participating in philanthropy. This year, I hope to see a digital rendition of Cole Porter sing with Kid Rock.
With one more elimination to go, it's quickly down to the doo-wop acapella guy and the "rocker" guy with long hair.
Alas, Luke stays and Robbie's going home, hopefully to a really high-end cover band.
HugoStop out!

Dawg,
Recap was awesome.
It wasn't even pitchy at all. I want to hear more from you!

Totally in the pocket, HugoStop. That's a million percent yes for me.

Ah, if only elimination night were as mercifully brief as your recap! Thank Buddha for DVR. I had to suppress much laughter over the JarJar Binks comment...spot on, darling!! Oh just one thing: That last screen cap of the idol's 'thoughts', that was actually Alaina, not Kady...I know, I get those cute blonde clones mixed up too :)

Ok, my fellow Gasmii who are far more observant than myself:
When Robbie and his Bret Michaels Collection weave got the axe, the camera panned to who I assume was his girlfriend standing on the balcony....
Was that Jessi (Baby Oil) from So You Think You Can Dance?!

if I was to compare this recap to something, it would be like vacationing on a cruise ship, and going to the lounge where someone's singing and it ends up being Mariah, or Celine, or Mary J, or someone really cool like Chrissy Hynde!
I like when you read peoples secret thoughts without letting anyone know what you think, bwa-ha-ha!!!

jennm926,
I think that was Jessi. How do these Fox people find each other?
