Last night (4-22-09) on American Idol. The seven finalist kicked off the double elimination show with a Paula Abdul choreographed routine. Then they got right down to business with the eliminations which involved Lil Rounds quickly being told that it was the end of the road for her. I actually kind of thought that sucked because she was a very good singer, but I suspect America has chosen their favorites at this point ,and they just won’t budge as Anoop and Lil have been in the final three for I don’t know how long now. It was to the point where you could bet millions without hesitation that they would be in the bottom three.

The next elimination for the night came down to Allison and Anoop. And of course as you already know, Anoop got the boot. However, I was surprised to see Allison there with him because her performance was rock solid for the week. Matt managed to move up a notch in the voting pool from almost being eliminated last week. Well, I should say he did get eliminated,but the judges saved him with their one “save” for the season.

Last year’s finalist, David Archuleta performed “Touch My Hand” .I must say it didn’t sound half bad. So now we’re down to the final five which are : Adam Lambert, Allison Iraheta,Danny Gokey,Kris Allen, and Matt Giraud. I think Matt and Allison will be battling for the the final fourth spot next week as long as the other four perform well.
