Dee. Light. Ful.

They are promising another shock. Which means Hollie, Elise, and Skylar will all be safe.

Taylor Hicks is in the audience. The old man that won American Idol.

53 million votes came in last night. Some of those were ours. We had to make sure Joshua and Phillip stay.

Oh yay. A group song. The camera man just fell asleep or something. And no one turned Bebica's mike on. That's a problem. Now they are all being attacked by balloons. That was silly.

Ford Music Video. These videos do absolutely nothing to convince me to buy a Ford.

Hollie says nothing has changed now that the save has been used. I'd say that's false. Now that the save has been used, everyone put forth at least a little bit more effort. Even Hollie.

Joshua and Hollie are up first. Hollie should be in the bottom.

Jimmy says Joshua did himself a lot of good by staying in his wheelhouse.

Jimmy says Hollie came out of her shell but not enough.

Joshua has anxiety and almost didn't get on the plane. He should get help for that.

Joshua is safe. But Ryan tried to give him a heart attack. Which is not a nice thing to do to someone with anxiety.

Hollie is on the Tool Stools.

Taylor Hicks is possibly intoxicated. Katherine McPhee should have won that season.

Kris Allen (the man who slayed the beast who shall not be named and for this we are forever indebted) is performing. He's playing piano. And spinning around while doing so. This song does nothing for me for you. Sorry Kris. You're still better than the beast who shall not be named.

Skylar and Elise are up. Elise should be in the bottom.

Jimmy says Skylar delivered the Marvin Gaye song, Elise did not. Also, he says Elise is going home. And he says Elise needs to sing potent rock songs and he says Skylar is the best performer on the show so far.

Elise thinks the judges and Jimmy are harder on her than everyone else because she's older. Stop complaining. You're being propelled to fame, you should be able to handle criticism.

Skylar is safe. Elise is in the bottom three.

Why do we need an entire episode of Glee set to Whitney Houston? It's just not necessary.

Dick Clark died. So we need to discuss that. In great depth. It is sad though. Very few decent entertainers like him.

Case in point: whatever LMFAO is. I will not be watching this. And Phillip Phillip looks like he would rather not watch it either.

Phillip, Jessica, and Colton are up. Colton should be in the bottom three. Or possibly Bebica.

Jimmy says Bebica sings songs that are too old for her. That is true.

Jimmy also says Phillip did amazing with Usher but was hit or miss with Midnight Hour.

Jimmy also says Colton was totally disappointing.

For Colton to get to the finale, he needs to regroup and choose better songs. Phillip should be in the finale. For Bebica to get in the finale, she needs to pick songs that are more appropriate for her age. This is all according to Jimmy.

Bebica is safe.

Colton is in the bottom three. Phillip is safe.

Hooray! Two of the three I would be happy with parting with.

Elise is safe. And something fishy is going on between Elise and Ryan Seacrest. What is happening?

I would be fine with either Hollie or Colton going home.

Colton is done! Whoa.

Colton says some craziness about he's sorry for not being himself.

And now he's singing the worship song that he did a few weeks ago. Only this time he's actually singing it like it's a worship song. And I suddenly feel like Colton may have been genuine the whole time.

Anyway, on to next week.

Addendum 1: In my previous blog posting I referred to Joshua as (the black guy). I do this for the benefit of one faithful reader of this blog, since said reader cannot remember who Joshua is when American Idol is discussed on a weekly basis. Neither I nor said reader are racist. Said reader just has a terrible time with names.

Addendum 2: My husband (Paul) fictitiously gambled money on the fact that Colton would go home. I'm pretty sure that he is psychic.
