“Dancing with Stars’ Who’s voted off? Latest Update
Sheryl Crow kicks off the results show with her hit, “All I Want To Do Is Have Some Fun.” The dancers dance - you know the drill. What we really want to know is who goes home.
The judges called back Adam and Julianne for an encore performance.
Here are the couples that are staying around for another week. Jason Taylor & Edyta Sliwinska and Kristi Yamaguchi & Mark Ballas - no surprises here.
Mixing it up this week, the show featured 8 and 9 year-old ballroom dancers. Dancing the samba are Daniela and Aaron… awhh… the song they danced to is “Under the Sea.” Perhaps they can give Adam some lessons.
Next up in the kiddie ballroom competition is Rashell (8) and Aaron (8). Dancing the Paso Doble. Not quite as good as the first group but still outstanding. But the judges thought the first group should come back for another dance.
The next couples to be back for another week are - Marlee Matlin & Fabian Sanchez, Cristian De La Fuente & Cheryl Burke, Mario & Karina Smirnoff, Shannon Elizabeth & Derek Hough and Marissa Jaret Winokur & Tony Dovolani.
That just leaves Priscilla Presley & Louis Van Amstel and Adam Carolla & Julianne Hough. I’m hoping it’ll be Adam Carolla & Julianne Hough - but who knows…
America voted and the lowest total vote getting couple were…
Adam Carolla & Julianne Hough. I think america got it right!
Until next week.
TweetLatest Update: ‘American Idol’ Top 8 perform
It’s hard to believe we’re down to the top eight already….
Tonight’s theme inspiration songs.
Michael Johns
Tonight’s song - “Dream on”
My Take -This song was made for him - although nothing too original here. “
Randy -” It was a pretty good song choice for you - it had some pitch problems.”
Paula - “It was a perfect song for you.”
Simon - “Very good performance - it was a little bit wannabeish.”
Syesha Mercado
Her song tonight -“I Believe’
My Take - I always get the vibe that she’s acting and not singing. Although this song showcased her vocal skills. The girl’s got some range.
Randy - “You took on another tiger this week. It was Okay. It’s Randy’s night for sparks!”
Paula - You flipped it a little bit and made it your own. It was your shinning nights.
Simon - “Technically you sang it very well. However, what it lacked for me was that big wave of emotion.?”
Jason Castro
Tonight’s song - “Somewhere over the Rainbow”
My Take - Jack Johnson you’re not - although pretty good - of the eight remaining he’s my least favorite - so perhaps I’m a little biased.
Randy - “Dude, Jason Castro is back in the house. That was blazen - molten hot.”
Paula - “You’ve got the definite sound - it was a perfect song.”
Simon - “Fantastic!’
Kristy Lee Cook
Tonight’s song - “Anyway”
My Take - Nice performance… a little too twangy for me, but still nice.
Randy - “There were a couple of little pitch moments
Paula - “You outdid yourself tonight - you did your best tonight.”
Simon - “I thought you were very, very good indeed. Tonight you looked like a star.”
David Cook
Tonight’s song - “Innocent”
My Take - What a wacky song choice - that was sooo uncomfortable.
Randy - “I’m not sure this was one of your strongest weeks.”
Paula - ‘You are it.!”
Simon - “I didn’t like this performance very much at all. It wasn’t anyway near the last two weeks.”
Carly Smithson
Tonight’s song - ” The Show Must Go On”
My Take - I don’t remember this song from back in the day… Not a crowd pleaser and not her best performance by any measure, but still nice.
Randy -“It ended up okay for me.”
Paula - “I didn’t fee the connection or engaged with you.”
Simon - “You look good… I thought it was an unusual choice of song tonight - came across as an angry performance and might be in a bit of trouble after tonight.”
David Archuleta
Tonight’s song - “Angels”
My Take - Is this the first time David’s been at the piano? He’s more enjoyable to listen to when he’s belting out the tune…. I didn’t care for the first part of the song… a little one note for me.
Randy - “That was your hottest moment the whole season…. loved it, loved it
Paula - “Fantastic”
Simon - “Best song choice of the night.”
Brooke White
Tonight’s song - “You’ve Got a Friend”
My Take - What a great song to close an inspirational show. Too bad her performance wasn’t that inspirational.
Randy - “It was just okay for me.”
Paula - “ot was a perfect way to close the evening.”
Simon - “It was nice. Was it original? no. Was it pleasant? yes.”
So after an hour of inspirational songs are you inspired? I was a little under whelmed by most of the performances tonight.
I thought the top performers were David Archuleta, Syesha Mercado and Jason Cook. And the performers most likely to go were Brooke White, Carly Smithson and David Cook. Thoughts? [an error occurred while processing this directive]
