On the scene for the Top 4 results night TRAVESTY
Whatever. There's swine flu. Santa Barbara is on fire. Allison went home. Adam Lambert's gonna win. Or Danny Gokey. Or Kris Allen. (?) It's fine. I'm fine. You're fine. This...is what happened tonight at American Idol.
Oh, TENSION. On the floor of the soundstage, a small child was walking to its seat, wearing a Slash wig and top hat. Someone being funny seated this child right behind Mrs. Slash and her son. Hilarity ensued.
We went through the usual dance-scream-dance nonsense, and based on the cheers in the audience when Cory asked who we voted for, I was pretty sure either Kris or Danny was going home. "If you ask for something, you don't get it," said Cory. (Ooh! Ooh! I want Kara to come back next season!) The room seemed totally resistant to lying about the fact that No Doubt and Paula Abdul were "performing," if not downright hostile once they were told both acts were pre-taped. Cory also asked if anyone had been in the crowd for yesterday's apocalyptic dress rehearsal, and one woman down in the stage left pit raised her hand, then asked about Debbie. "She's doing very well," said Cory. Signs: Boring. Judges: Came in. Randy stopped to kiss Mrs. Slash. Kara saw a sign reading "Kara is a Rock Star!" and jerked both her hands into the air and pointed at her own head. With 22 seconds to go, Ryan walked in, acknowledged a couple signs, then walked down into the pit for the cold open. Had a hard time deciding which part of the cold open was lamer: The writers' dorky "School of Rock/schooled" parallel, or Danny Gokey wrinkling his nose and saying, "This isn't really my kind of music" with barely-masked disdain. The contestants stayed glued to the Ford video playing on the big screen as they took their places for the group number, which was sung live, probably because of Slash. Oy. I can only encourage all those who thought tonight's Alice Cooper cover was good to watch the real thing. During the first break, Allison whacked Danny in the chest again, this time by way of explanation -- apparently, Gokey hadn't known what Ryan was talking about after the song. (Dead inside...or dead outside?) Then Kris hugged Danny and Allison, then Danny and Allison hugged. Adam hugged the crew member who brought them water. Then Ryan asked Allison about talking back... and I swear to you, PopWatchers, I heard her curse. But I thought she dropped an f-bomb, and when I went back to the broadcast to hear what they bleeped out, the bleep wasn't really in the place where I thought that f-bomb had been. I do it all the time. It's fun.
Ryan went and sat in Paula's empty chair while she "performed," and I enjoyed watching the judges' response to this tape: Randy and Kara gamely bopped along, while Ryan and Simon engaged in some deep, disinterested conversation. (Drat. Once again, the judges led the standing ovation. "Awwww," said the audience. (Raise your standards, audience.) Meanwhile, Cory was unloading Idol merch like the plane was going down.
Big applause for Paula after her triumphant "performance," and a smooth transition into No Doubt -- which got way less in-house response than the former Laker Girl. Enjoyed seeing the moment where the pit girls from last night saved Gwen's mic from rolling away while she was doing push-ups. Quick question: Do we really need a video montage of previous homecoming video montages? As we moved into judging (TENSION), no one booed when Ryan referenced Simon's comments on The Horror, but everybody booed the negative comments about Kris. Allison pumped her fist, and went to grab the stunned Kris as soon as we went to break. Once the other contestants left the stage, Kris fell into a long, deep hug with the water lady. (RESTORE)
No Doubt set-up time yesterday: 40 minutes. Next break. Simon headed back stage right to hug another girl, Randy went on stage, Daughtry (just the lead singer) went into the stage left pit, and Kara ascended the opposite set of stairs, presumably to find whoever made her the "Rock Star" sign and pay them their $20. Cory was up in the middle house, talking to a woman who was pregnant with twins. "If you name one of them Cory, I'll give you an iPod Touch," he said. The woman behind me dropped her sign on my head again.
And then they sent Allison home. Because I watched it later on TV, I know that Kara spent much of the show's end wailing, "Allison! Amazingly, this song was followed by one of Aerosmith's old-timey classics, "Jaded." I encourage anyone thirsting for further Aunt Whittlz insight on tonight's results to visit my new blog, I Told You A Woman Would Never Again Win This Show But You Mark My Words Right Now Allison Iraheta Will Outsell Whoever Does Dot Com. And since this is my last regular-season recap of the season -- I'll be back for the finale, bringing you full team coverage alongside Adam "The Beav" Vary -- I'd just like to thank everyone for tuning in, unless you voted for Danny Gokey, in which case you stopped reading 10 paragraphs ago anyway. Doo-doo-doot!
