Country Night

Let me begin by talking about Glee for a second. Last night, I cried. I thought it was such a touching episode and all of the songs about home hit me hard. I loved that they let the episode go a little musical theater over just pop in song choice. I wouldn't want it to always be that, but once in a while is nice. I've never been a Burt Bacharach fan on Idol, but hearing Kurt sing that song was insane. And Kristen doing the Wiz song at the end? Not to mention Mercedes's Christina rendition and Quinn being given a true heart. It was sweet and really tugged on the heartstrings and gave the characters another depth which nicely balances some of the over the top dramatics the show usually partakes in.

Now to tonight's Idol. I call it country night because several country acts are performing but no Shania -- she doesn't have an album ready yet, so this could be why, but I wouldn't have minded a blast from her past repertoire. Rascal Flatts opens the show with a decent Unstoppable and then Ryan says they are going to perform with Shakira later. Yikes, getting the insults ready to hurl as we speak.

Behind the scenes of the Ford music video. I like hearing from them, but do we need more from Ford? Then a promo for Shrek showing the Idols learning how voiceovers work and then see the film. Promo promo promo. This is 3-D too? Oh nice appearance by Cameron -- the contestants must be psyched to meet her. Antonio looks old, still handsome, but a lot older than I remembered.

Who should be in the bottom three? Aaron, Mike and Siobhan, but I think we may be surprised. Just hopefully not too surprised. Ryan is forming 3 groups of two on the stage. Siobhan heads to far end of stage, Aaron heads to the center, Mike is on the closest side. Uh oh, I don't like where this is headed. Lee joins Siobhan. Casey who rocked last night joins Michael Lynch. Crystal with her Bob Marley hat joins Aaron. I don't like this at all.

Mike/Casey, Aaron/Crystal, Siobhan/Lee. Ryan has Siobhan walk across the stage to join Mike and Casey and Siobhan, Mike and CASEY are in the bottom three. WHAT THE ****? If Casey goes home I will lose it. Lose it, lose it, lose it. The reveal of the bottom three was lame lame lame. I need to repeat everything three times.

Next week Harry Connick mentors top 5 with songs of Sinatra -- that could be super cool!

Carrie Underwood introduces Sons of Sylvia -- a band that must be managed by 19. They duet with Carrie on her new album - my favorite song on the album and are opening for her on her new tour. Weird country goth rock song with a violin. Don't need to buy this album.

Lady Antebellum!! I know Need You Now is a huge song, but I wish they did American Honey - love that song. Charles Kelly is so cute. CUTE CUTE CUTE

I lost that loving feeling as soon as Shakira and Rascal Flatts came out. WEIRD WEIRD WEIRD.

Mike, Casey and Siobhan. I hope Ed gets his wish and Mike goes. MIKE is safe? Oh my god. If we lose Casey and he can't be saved because Mike was saved. Bad times. Bad times. Bad times. I do believe that Mike and Aaron should have left before Siobhan, but right now I am hoping she goes. Please let the judges say something. Siobhan is going home. Casey is safe.

It is sad because she had potential. But she definitely did not shine as best she could be. She may have also suffered because the show went over and the DVR's cut her off. The end spot can be a problem when a live show cannot keep time. Let the judges say something! She looks good tonight and did her best performance - Think . I smiled at her scream this time. Go Siobhan. Oh boy, she went straight to her family. Ryan pimped her to the judges, Simon said he would miss her. Kara said she did great, Ellen said she would see her tomorrow on her show and Randy thinks she has an amazing career ahead of her.

Okay that's it -- Top 5 are Crystal, Lee, Casey, and two others who need to leave next. Things are getting serious.

Don't be ashamed of your obsessions, and feel free to let me know your thoughts on tonight via email, comment, text, phone. However you need to express yourself!
