Three's a Crowd...
Only one week until the confetti flies and the winner is crowned. Let's see who will be duking it out...
This week's results show opens with another cheesy group number, as the top three are forced to sing "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now." I tune out around the time Syesha urges me to, "listen to every word I say."
Twice Ryan mentions that 56 million votes were counted in order to achieve this week's result.
The Ford Music Video features the song "How Far is Heaven" as the contestants visit a fortune teller who forssees an episode of Cribz in each of the top 3's near future. Instead of Hummers and Bentley's however, all Cook gets to look forward to are two Fords.
Roll tape of last night's ménage à trois of performances.
Then Fantasia performs "Bore Me" and it is truly a WTF? performance. She's gained weight and is sporting braces and bright red hair. 90% of the lyrics are incomprehensible, she sounds raspy as hell and the dancing...well, Simon's face says it all...
After the commercial break, Ryan reminds us that the Idols Live! tour tickets go on sale on Saturday and that the Jordin Sparks postage stamps are now available.
Time for the results. Archie is called out first. They roll footage of his trip back home to Murray, Utah in which he is attacked by his highschool cheerleaders, sings "Imagine," visits the radio station and the Gateway Mall, and wonders where everyone parked. Then, in a new twist, they decide to air each of the top three's journey videos, which is actually kind of cool since the top two have always gotten cheated out of that.
Syesha's up next, and I can't help but notice that they've recalled the hair extensions in honor of her inevitable elimination. She visited Tampa Bay, Florida along with several other surrounding cities. Her turnouts do not rival those of the David's, she gets a baby thrown at her, her dad admits to struggling with drug addiction in the past and currently enjoying a "natural high," and the mayor upstages her by doing a handstand.
Then of course it's Cook's turn in the spotlight, only they pull his brother Andrew up on stage to thank him for making it happen (haha, I met him before he was famous!). David got his own crying girl, visited his former teacher Mrs. Gentry, rode in a parade and performed for 12,000 people at his high school. There's an error on Ryan's cue card, and Roberta Flack is confused with Chaka Khan.
The judges are consulted, and Simon says if he gets the finale he wants it's going to be a "humdinger."
Syesha gets the Vonzell/K-Lo treatment and reprises "If I Ain't Got You." Here's hopin' that Mr. Mercado has learned that crack is whack.
And so, predictably, it will be a David vs. David finale, in the first male showdown since season two. Archie won the coin toss and will be performing last next week.

New Single: Boney James & Syesha Mercado
Boney James & American Idol's Syesha Mercado
Release Exclusive Internet Only Single
The Only Place You Are "Gonna Get It" Is On iTunes!
Urban Jazz Icon and American Idol's Last Woman Standing Release iTunes Exclusive on May 12th, 2008
Los Angeles, CA- On May 12th two-time Grammy Award nominee Boney James and current American Idol Top 3 finalist Syesha Mercado join forces to release the soulful uptempo groover "Gonna Get It" exclusively on iTunes. Written by James and critically acclaimed R&B singer-songwriter Rahsaan Patterson, "Gonna Get It" pairs the multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer James with the last woman standing on American Idol - seductive songstress Syesha Mercado. Says James: "The first time I saw Syesha perform, I was incredibly impressed. 'Gonna Get It' seemed like a perfect fit for her. I'm really proud of how well she's doing on American Idol."
More Idol Trivia
