Farewell Piano Man

Let me start by admitting a sad truth. I don't really listen to rap / hip-hop and did not realize that the rapper FLORIDA (which I thought was pronounced like the state) is actually pronounced like Flow rider which is a cool name for a rapper. Okay, I will move on now.

Let's talk about the Frankie Avalon moment used to give Simon's age away. Frankie released a song in 1959 which was the year of Simon's birth. This means he is turning 50 (and he looks amazing for that) but what we also learned is that Frankie himself must be 70? But he looks the same age as Simon. Do not want to know how much work he has done to look the way he does.

Let's also talk about Kara cheering for herself when Ryan introduces her. Weird over the head clapping and hooting.

Not a particularly drama filled night -- was nervous that Adam would lose votes because the DVRs cut off, but they cleared that up right away by pronouncing him safe. Then Ryan pit Kris against Anoop, and Anoop was sent to the bottom 3. This was not completely unbelievable. Then Danny is safe, Matt is safe and Scott is not pitted against anyone but is sent to the bottom three. Finally! Then they pit Allison against Lil and for once, Allison is safe and Lil is sent to the bottom 3. So in the context, having Scott, Lil and Anoop in the bottom made sense.

Simon said that this week there could be a couple but one person in particular that they would have used the save for -- I'm going to think the best of them that the save could have been for Anoop and NOT Lil. But Lil is sent to safety and it is down to Anoop and Scott. Then, thank god, Scott is sent home.

I'm glad the judges actually listened to him perform but I still don't understand why there was a tie as to whether or not to save him. Come on! Whatever. Paula gave him a nice send off (yes I had a tear) and I know he is nice so good for him.

And so now we are down to the Top 7 -- Adam, Danny (not Hokey Gokey as some like to refer to him!), Allison, Kris, Matt, Anoop and Lil in the order that I feel they are at strength wise. Adam is clearly the best singer, but as I've said, he is just not my type, so he hasn't emotionally won me over. Things keep changing with some of them, so we'll see what happens next week!

What do you all think of Kellie Pickler's new song? I know it because it is on CMT and she wrote it with her best friend Taylor Swift, but I am curious as to what non CMT viewers think.

Reminder to set your DVRs to record Southland the new drama replacing ER and starring one time KCD employee Ben McKenzie. CAN'T WAIT!!!

Yes I am dumping Heroes, ER is over and I am adding Southland and Parks and Recreation -- the madness never ends!!
Don't be ashamed of your obsessions...
