I have two hours before the American Idol results show airs here on the west coast, so I thought I would write up a spoiler revealing who will be sent home tonight.
For those who missed last night's two-hour episode, here is a biased recap. The eleven finalists sang country songs. As always, La Toya London rocked. My favorites? John Stevens with Roger Miller's "King of the Road" and Fantasia Barrino with Willie Nelson's "Always On My Mind". The rest were "aight", but forgettable. Simon's latest phrase, "Let me finish, let me finish..."
Cut to tonight's show. It'll be 29 minutes of stall and 1 minute of results. Yet, I'll still watch it. Seacrest, as he affectionately refers to himself these days, will be smooth with Randy, suave with Paula and snide with Simon. The finalists will sing a medley of country tunes and attempt to line dance (again). There'll be a break.
Seacrest will "accidentally" bump into Peter Gallagher, who sits patiently in the audience, waiting to promote The O.C.. Kimberley Locke will then perform her latest single. Another break.
One by one, Ryan will tell each contestant if they are "safe" or not. He'll say something like, "Jon Peter Lewis. J-P-L. Randy said you were tall, Paula said you were short and Simon said, 'So what?' America voted and... you'll find out what they said after the break."
After the break, Camile Velasco (I like her, but I'm only 5 votes) and the stunned Diana DeGarmo join the tearful Jon Peter in the bottom three. After a quick break, Seacrest tells Diana that she is safe. Holding hands, the two remaining contestants will await the outcome.
"With more than thirty million text messages and phone calls, America spoke and... Jon Peter, I'm sorry, America has decided to crush your dreams. On the bright side, it took thirty million votes to crush them! Now, if you could pull yourself together and sing the song that failed to impress last night's audience. That would be nice. Thanks, everybody. Seacrest out!"

i like camile. i hope they don't boot her out. it's those comments simon always makes about her nerves. i don't know what they expect her to do. that's just her style. she's a mellow singer!
but i think fantasia is the best performer overall.
i was tempted to check online too, rather than watch the results show. but once you flick it on, they suck you in.
Camile is cool, but she'll probably be gone in the next week or two. :( I think Fantasia will be there a while, but if I were to call the final two right now, I'd say it'll be La Toya versus George.
