Who got voted off American Idol 2011 Season 10

It’s still Hollywood Week, but rumor has it that some of the Top 24 contestants are going to be revealed tonight!  Who will it be?  Let’s find out together, shall we?

Idol’s on for two hours tonight, and I couldn’t be more excited. Okay, so that’s a lie. I had plans to play “Just Dance” with my sister at 9:30.  Guess I will just have to type extra-fast (read: there will be extra typos) and hope that 10:00 isn’t too late! Seriously, playing that game is the most fun I’ve had working out in a long time.  It’s all gonna be worth it will all the twists and turns and drama, right?

Also, I am going to be working on my dinner plate while live-blogging.  Goodbye, people who can’t remember their lines, and hello, coconut chicken curry, basmati rice, and naan!  So, it is with excited fingers and hopefully full mouth that I type this. Mmm…

We start out with Ryan being all dramatic:  Imagine, you’ve left your trailer and your nine kids, all for a nickel and a dream!  Imagine, you stopped operating on a brain mid-surgery, all for that shot at a hit single on Rick Dees’ Top 40!  These contestants have left everything behind, all for this one moment.  Is it just me, or are Seacrest’s dramatic pauses a little similar to William Shatner?

The contestants are already being split into three groups.  I’m guessing only one group is going to get through?  I guess we’ll see!  Angela Martin, the chick with the worst luck ever, did a  decent version of “American Boy”, but she’s not in the room with Andrew Garcia, which I’m guessing will be the room to get through.  Of course, if we’ve learned anything from years past, they will pull some people out and pull the old switcharoo on some of them!

Casey James singing “Bubbly”…this might just be the first time I didn’t hate that song! To quote someone’s Idol Tweet: “Bucky Covington 2.0 just serenaded my pants off.”   Jermaine Purifoy sang “Brick House”, and both guys did well, but Angela, Jermaine, and Casey are all in different rooms! The drama!!

Jermaine Sellers had a pitchy (dawg) version of “Man in the Mirror”, and he’s worried that he isn’t going to make it through.  And, he was totally diva!  Siobhan Magnus was told by Ellen that she was way too old for 19, so she glams it up like any 40-year-old would do, with a denim vest and nose ring.  Crystal Bowersox sounded pretty good, with a harmonica and guitar.  Alex Lambert was not so talented with his instrument (get your mind out of the gutter!).

We get some more good performances from Room One, including Thaddeus Johnson, and the band started playing the wrong song! That might just have provided the best line of the night:  “I’m not ‘Bubbly’!  But I am a bubbly person!”

Room One is definitely looking like a winner.  But now, we’re onto Room Two, and I’m onto my dinner! So, bear with me.

Charity Vance is the second room, and she sounds pretty good. Tasha Leighton is also in this room.  There certainly are a lot of jazzy singers this time around, so there are a lot of singers I like! Mary Powers is not one of them.  Her “Hot and Cold” was definitely more cold than hot!  Dock worker Lloyd Thomas and police officer Brian Walker are also in this room.  Also in Room two:  Hope Johnson and Jermaine Purifoy.

We’re onto Room Three, who also has some great singers.  Shelby Dressel is in this group, as is Didi Benami, orphan kid Aaron Kelly, Ashley Rodriguez, Angela Martin, Haeley Vaughn (cutie pie!), Janelle Wheeler, Jessica Furney, John Park, among others.

Room One is the first to get the news.  And duh duh duh…they’re through to the next cut!

Okay, dinner is over for me, and my lips are burning from all that curry!  It was absolutely worth it, though.  But enough about me, more furious typing in the name of Idol!

Just a guess, but I’m thinking Room Two is out and Three is in!  And Oh Em Gee, can you believe that I’m right?  Whoo hoo, no more Mary Powers!  But Charity Vance, and Hope Johnson are also out.  And Room Three is in! Yippee! That girl with the plastic glasses really cracks me up.  But wait! We still haven’t paired down the contestants to just twenty-four.  And…we’re going to get a few of those names…in another hour? Good gravy!

So, we’re in the second half, and that means more eliminations!  We’re down to 46 contestants, and some of them will learn if they have had it into the Top 24.  Big Mike is up first.  The judges have made their decision, and he’s in!

Didi Benami is next.  VFTW says she’s a plant, that she had worked with the producer who produced the Kara song she sang.  I don’t care…I’ve never heard of her before this season, and I like her a lot.  So do the judges…she’s through! WTF is Kara wearing? It’s like my Grandma’s dream prom dress with poofy sleeves on crack.

Katelyn Epperly is on the chopping block next.  She’s also through to the next round…what?!  I didn’t think she was that great, but her hair was awesome.

Next is Shelby Dressel.  She was not one of the lucky ones.  After another break is Casey James.  Duh, of course he’s in!  Aaron Kelly had a great voice, but his eyebrows are an epic fail.  But he’s a win for the judges!  Lee DeWyze…who the heck is he? Have we seen him before? He’s in as well.  So is Todrick Hall.  Jessica Furney is looking better than last year, but she’s gotten herself a little attitude!  She didn’t make it, but she needs more screen time! YOU HAVE NO IDEA! Wah wah wah, I officially don’t like her anymore.

And…that’s the end of the show! We will find out the rest of the coveted spots tomorrow!
