American Idol-Results Mini-Concert (3/31/11)
Wow. Was that a Top 11 results or a finale prelude? They decided to let the Idols sing in duets and group performances together instead of one big group. This sounded like alot of fun...especially since it lead to the results.
Scotty & Lauren-I Told You So
Amazing duet that I didn't see coming at all. Can we get more duest like that from them?
Results: Both Safe
Ford Commerical (Kryponite)
Very cool. Best video of the year so far.
Naima & Jacob-Solid
She is great, he annoys me. Good for what it was.
Results: Jacob-Safe, Naima-Bottom 3
Pia, Thia & Haley-Teenage Dream
I still don't like Haleyand she jsut didn't fit with these two. But I love this song so it passed for that reason alone.
Results: Pia-Safe, Thia-Bottom 3, Haley-Safe
James, Stefano, Casey and Paul-Band on the Run
This really felt like good friends putting together a band and having fun. Very different for this show. Something you see on tour, not on the show.
Results: Opening for Aerosmith
Real Results: Casey-Safe, James-Safe, Stefano-Safe, Paul-Bottom 3
Bottom Three:
Naima, Thia and Paul
Going Home:
Naima & Thia
What a great results show!

American Idol-Top 11 Redux (3/30/11)
And we do it again. Top 11 is back together after that save last week and now it's time for Elton John week. On paper I thought it was going to be a weak show, but to be honest it was a nice surprise. Let's get into it, there's alot of performances...
Scotty
Song: Country Comfort
Blake: He can do no wrong and is sooo sweet to his grandma. Of course he'd find the ONE Elton country song. Very awesome!
Rating (out of 5): *****
Mandy: Scotty could be on the radio right now. Can Josh Turner and him duet on the finale? And love a boy who loves Grandma.
Namia
Song: I'm Still Standing
Blake: Totally original take on this song going reggae. Very risky. I really enjoyed it. It was different.
Rating (out of 5): ****
Mandy: Naima gave due to my favorite Elton John song. The reggae was fresh and she knows who she is. She know what Miltown swag is!
Paul
Song: Rocket Man
Blake: This is a fitting song for him. And I like him better when he's not running around. But this wasn't good for me. I just don't like his voice at all.
Rating (out of 5): **1/2
Mandy: Minus the horrendous outfit, this was a great night for Paul. I still am not a huge fan, but he's not as bad as the outfit.
Pia
Song: Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me
Blake: I really liked that performance. One of my favorite Elton songs. Well done.
Rating (out of 5): ****
Mandy: Pia was absoultely amazing. She looked good, sounded good and I can't say anything else except I want to be her in my next life.
Stefano
Song: Tiny Dancer
Blake: This was better than I expected. I enjoyed it alot. Very nice.
Rating (out of 5): ****
Mandy: I could totally break him, but I'm on the Stefano bandwagon. Yum! Great job, but he and Pia still need to hook it up.
Lauren
Song: Candle in the Wind
Blake: Tough song to sing. She did a beautiful job. It's like she was telling the story. Wonder if she was actually singing to someone herself?
Rating (out of 5): ****1/2
Mandy: Lauren looked and sounded beautiful. I love that she is multi-faceted and has different sides to her and still has that spunk.
James
Song: Saturday Night's Alright
Blake: This felt very karaoke for me and I know he's better than this. Loved the fact that he started in the crowd, it got very gimmicky with the fire on the piano though.
Rating (out of 5): ***
Mandy: James was entertaining, but I think that's more important than the singing to him. I think he's getting cocky ala Adam Lambert.
Thia
Song: Daniel
Blake: I never knew the name of this song before. This could have been boring but it turned out really nice. She looked like she was about to cry at the end. Well done.
Rating (out of 5): ****
Mandy: Thia is gorgeous, has a gorgeous voice, but there is no visible personality to back it up. She's to the point of boredom.
Casey
Song: Your Song
Blake: This new look makes him look so much younger. That was beautiful. That was his best performance and one of the best of the night. Amazing. More of this Casey please!
Rating (out of 5): *****
Mandy: I happen to like big guys with beards, so my heart is with Casey. SO glad he was saved. This performance proved why he was.
Jacob
Song: Sorry Seems to Be The Hardest Word
Blake: Am I the only one who doesn't like him? Too church like for me. I don't like his voice. Kind of boring for me. Blah is the easiest word for me.
Rating (out of 5): **1/2
Mandy: Jacob...ugh. Same act, different week. He looks like he always in pain and overdramatizes everything. Next please!
Haley
Song: Benny and the Jets
Blake: Not a fan but NOT the worst tonight. She sang a song that fit her and actually showed personality.
Rating (out of 5): ***1/2
Mandy: Haley was good but not the best of the night. Especially with the Playboyesque moves and screechy screams. Stop trying so hard!

Dancing with the Stars:The First Elimination (3/29/11)
Well here we go, the first elimination of the new season and it only took two weeks to get there.
"Bottom Three"
Sugar Ray/Ana
Wendy/Tony
Mike/Lacey
"Bottom Two"
Sugar Ray/Ana
Mike/Lacey
Sugar Ray and Ana surprises me to be honest. I thought Wendy did worse than him over the two weeks. Mike was a duh.
The results....
Mike and Lacey are done. Well I saw that coming a mile away. He was a bad dancer and no one knew who he was before the season started. No big loss.
