American Idol 11 Top 8 – Results – Live Blog – April 5, 2012

Reality TV · American Idol 11 · Results · Top 8

Tonight is the American Idol 11 Top 8 results show on April 5, 2012! As far as musical guests go, we have Kellie Pickler and The Wanted. Also, Jennifer Lopez‘s full video for “Dance Again” premieres tonight during the show. Oh joy! More importantly, however, who’s going home?

You guys here at Rickey.org have predicted the bottom 3 to be: Deandre, Elise, and Hollie. Deandre is the pick to go home–as he was last week. Hollie is a super close second.

If you haven’t, please join the Office Pool and the side office pool down the right hand side of the blog–which you need Facebook to participate.

I’m torn with how the results will go down. My gut is telling me that Elise will be eliminated tonight. Whether the judges would use the save on her is up in the air. On the other hand, she just might have gained enough fans the past two weeks to push her into next week. She might land in the bottom but still be safe.

Anyways, I will be live blogging the results as they happen. So, come back soon and often for a rundown of all the action.

This…is AMERICAN IDOL!!!

Joshua Ledet Jessica Sanchez American Idol 11 Top 8   Results   Live Blog   April 5, 2012

FIRST LOOK – WORLD PREMIERE VIDEO – Jennifer Lopez – “Dance Again”

It’s sexy. Hot. There’s glitter! It features her 24-year-old dancer boyfriend Casper Smart. Honestly, I’ve had this song stuck in my head all freaking day for the past week. There’s also blindfolding. Check out the music video RIGHT HERE.

Ford Music Video – Scavenger Hunt: The contestants are searching the city for clues of a scavenger hunt.

Twitvid:  A classroom full of kids send Jacob a special message. Aww. He’s not going home.

RESULTS – BY DUETS – OMG 

Joshua Ledet and Jessica Sanchez are up first!

Joshua…is SAFE!

Jessica…is SAFE!

Musical Performance – The Wanted – “Glad You Came”

LOVE THIS SONG! Boy bands are taking over America AGAIN!!! The vocals seem a little off tonight, but that doesn’t matter. There are dancers in the pit! OMG. These guys are lovely and so charismatic. Check out their performance HERE.

RESULTS – BY DUETS – OMG

Skylar Laine and Colton Dixon go down center stage!

Hollie Cavanagh and Deandre Brackensick are called down! OMG OMG OMG

Deandre…is in the BOTTOM 3!

Colton…is SAFE!

Hollie…is in the BOTTOM 3!

Skylar…is SAFE!

Musical Performance – Kellie Pickler – “Where’s Tammy Wynette”

Her 100 Proof album is a must buy, FYI. This is one of my favorite tracks from it. She really goes back to her roots with this song. Her down-home charm is what I love about her. I wanna go party with her! Her vocals are in great form tonight.

 RESULTS

Phillip Phillips and Elise Testone are up last!

Elise…is in the BOTTOM 3!

Phillip…is SAFE!

elise testone1 American Idol 11 Top 8   Results   Live Blog   April 5, 2012

BOTTOM THREE: Elise, Hollie, Deandre

Hollie…is SAFE!!!! OMG OMG OMG OMG

MORE RESULTS

Elise…is SAFE!!!!! YES!!!

DEANDRE IS ELIMINATED

Will the judges save him??? He’s singing one of his many completely ridiculous hairography numbers with splashes of falsetto….

 

THE JUDGES DO NOT SAVE HIM!!!!

And, we are out! Thank you, judges, for not being idiots.

As for you, Jennifer Lopez, I hate your guts.

 

So, until next week. We have our Top 7!

Did the right person get the boot? Should the judges have used their save?

So, I just did some research on the Guy-Girl ratio of the Top 7 across all seasons. In a nutshell, the last time the Girls outweighed the Guys in number in the Top 7 was Season 3...

 

Here's the breakdown:

 

Season - # of Girls - # of Guys

 

11 - 4 - 3

10 - 2 - 5

9 - 2 - 5

8 - 2 - 5

7 - 3 - 4

6 - 3 - 4

5 - 3 - 4

4 - 2 - 5

3 - 5 - 2

2 - 4 - 3

1 - 4 - 3

 

Looks like we are on an upswing of Girl Domination!!!!

 @jlscott13 Finally!!! That is awesome. Maybe the curse on Idol girls has been broken this year. I hated seeing the most talented contestants get sent packing before their time just because they were female.

 @jlscott13 Nice research. I agree. Season 3 has an all-girl top 4! That was the reason why they had the Donna Summer theme. Imagine having a Donna Summer week with P2 in it. LOL

Well, he spent most of his run making horrible song choices and painful performances outside of "Master Blaster", so when he wasn't bad last night, it was still DeBarge and a little too little a little too late. If he would have done something like Fine Young Cannibals "Drives Me Crazy", he may have squeaked by. I think Jimmy just hated him so he was not given the mentoring he needed all around.

I feel good about tonight.

 

-- I got to see Kellie Pickler live in HD, singing one of my favorite songs from her album, which is one of the best REAL country albums of the year. 

 

-- Hollie & Elise didn't go home, which makes me happy even though they didn't have great weeks. The judges went WAY too far in their criticism of Hollie this week. I think, as that "dude" Seacrest says (only P2 would call Seacrest "dude" and think he's cool), "America disagrees."

 

-- The "dude looks like a lady " judge especially just went wacko this week. Makes me wonder if there's not more to this story. Maybe he still thinks that every 18-year-old girl wants to sleep with the dessicated remains of a former rock star and is upset because Hollie shows no interest. So I'm happy "America disagrees" and basically told him to shove it.

I just love how the judges phrase it like America putting DeAndre in the B3 was a wrong decision, but Elise was completely right.  And her placement in the B2 won't help her at all.  God, these judges are so helpless and whacked out of their minds--and bless the hearts of the public that actually listens to them.

 @ZarkeMulgore i don't know if they'll save her or not.  i think they recognize she's one of the better singers, but I think they (unfortunately rightly) also recognize she isn't going to win.  if it gets down to the last week they can use it they might, but otherwise they might let her go just in case they need to save one of their tcos
