It’s time to face the piper so to speak.  Let’s see which of our four Idols are staying and which are going home.  I love the group performances.  The producers picked a good song this time.  Very entertaining opening number.

• Tim Urban is safe.
• Todrick Hall I didn’t think did that bad nor think he should be going home and he is not.
• Michael Lynche Big Mike I think will be safe and he is.
• Casey  James should be safe and he is.
• John Park sang gravity Randy and Ellen liked but worried about pitch.  John Park goes home.  I can’t say I’m all that surprised.
• Lee Dewyze sang Lips of an Angel – Lee is safe.  I’m not surprised he nailed his performance.
• Aaron Kelly sang My Girl – and is safe, another one of my favorites from the other night.
• Alex Lambert is safe, I can’t really say I enjoyed his performance so am a bit surprised.
• Jermaine  Sellers is going home.  I missed his performance.
• Andrew Garcia is safe and I’m glad he has another chance. 

For the guys I really feel based on this weeks performances that America got it right.  It will get more challenging the further we go.  Let’s see where the ladies fall.  Danny Goeke performance showed he has grown since being on the idol.  I still love his tone and he is better than he was.  I’m glad to see he has continued to grow.

• Crystal Bowersox – I felt nailed her performance and I feel should be safe.
• Result is safe and I’m not surprised.
• Haeley Vaughn – Her performance just wasn’t there for me and I agree with Simon it was an utter mess.
• Result is going home.  I am not surprised.  Best of luck to you, time and work you can still do wonders with it.
• Lacey Brown – Simon felt she came across as being here for the wrong reasons.  I too felt her performance lacking.
• Result is safe.
• Katie Stevens – Although she has a great voice I felt bored and did not remember the performance.
• Result is safe.
• Didi Benami – I felt very let down and disappointed.  I know she could have done better.
• Result is safe.  Didi I hope you pull it together better next week.  I know you can do better and look forward to hearing it you got a second chance make the best of it.
• Michelle Delamor – Took a risk and I felt she did the song justice and her risk paid off we’ll have to see.
• Result is going home.  I’m shocked it was down to you or Didi and based on last night I felt it should have been Didi.  You are great just keep going and best of luck to you girl.
• Lilly Scott – Don’t fully remember the performance.  What stuck with me is the blues quality in your voice.  I hope you stay I’d like to see more from you.
• Result is Safe.
• Katelyn Epperly – Loved the performance and it still sticks with me.  Look forward to seeing you next week.
• Result is safe.
• Paige Miles – Felt like something was lacking.
• Result is safe.
• Siobhan Magnus – Loved your voice and would be devastated if you go home today.
• Result is safe and again I’m not surprised.

I’m not too surprised with the overall results.  The only shocker was Michelle over some of the other girls.  Just goes to show how important your vote is.  Down to the top 16 starting next week.  I look forward to following it more.
