Dance, Dance, Dance - 100th episode “Dancing with the Stars” Latest Update

Tonight’s (May 6) 100th episode celebration is all about dance, dance and more dance. But for one couple, the dance train stop here as another is voted of Dancing with the Stars.

Back for the special edition of the show are Apolo Anton Ohno and Julianne Hough performing to Rascal Flats. That was better than most of the guest bands this season.

Some of the other stars Vivica A. Fox,Kenny Mayne, Mark Cuban, Sabrina Bryan, Joey Fatone, Jerry Springer all plugging something.

Mario Lopez performed a number from his Broadway show, “Macy’s Stars of Dance” Presents A Chorus Line. Who knew he could dance like that… I forgot he was on the show before as a contestant. The Macy’s plug was a little silly But that’s what you get when you sponsor the show.

Mel B. And Maksim Chmerkovskiy came back to dance to “Life is a highway” as performed by Rascal Flats… They too, were hot! What a fun hour of TV…(or about 30 minutes if you fast forward through the commercials).

And finally, the elimination… Competing in next week’s semi-finals Marissa Jaret Winokur & Tony Dovolani, Kristi Yamaguchi & Mark Ballas, Cristian De La Fuente & Cheryl Burke (Pretty Amazing for being

Facing Elimination are… Mario & Karina Smirnoff or Jason Taylor & Edyta Sliwinska

The couple leaving the competition…

Just two weeks left - who will be next to go? “American Idol’ Latest Update

With just two weeks to go “American Idol 7” remaining isn’t the only question that remains unanswered… which David will win? Let’s see if the oddsmakers are correct.

A Night of Rock Round One:

David Cook
Tonight’s songs - “Hungry like the Wolf” Duran Duran
My Take - It seemed a little too predictable for this point in the competition. That performance could spell trouble for this Idol Wannabe.
Randy - ” that was okay choice for you… I’m just trying to see who has the mad hot vocals tonight. It was just okay. ”
Paula - ” You’re hungry like the wolf has left me with a big appetite.” WHAT
Simon -” I thought it was good. It was a little bit copy cat. “

Syesha Mercado
Tonight’s songs - “Proud Mary” Tina Turner
My Take - Great song choice for her. Let’s see what the judges say. I’m guessing she’s getting points for shaking it.
Randy - ” What a difference a couple of weeks make. She’s in the zone. ”
Paula - “You look like a star. ”
Simon -“For me, I thought it was a bad shrieky version. A bad impersonation of Tina Turner. “

Jason Castro
Tonight’s songs - “I shot the Sheriff” Bob Marley
My Take - So why was he holding the guitar - I don’t think he ever played it.
Randy - “For me, that was a real karaoke Bob Marley. There was nothing special about it. ”
Paula - “On a positive note, I’ve never seen you perform more to the audience than you did tonight. I wasn’t crazy about the performance. ”
Simon -“That was utterly atrocious. This was a first round audition massacre, honestly. “

David Archuleta
Tonight’s songs - “Stand by Me” Ben E. King
My Take - Look he kept his eyes open through the most of the song… what improvement… I know that sounds sarcastic… but I do mean it. Overall, that may have been the best performance of the night. I think he’ll be in the top two.
Randy - “At least there is one guy that hits the stage that is trying to win the whole thing. This is a competition. It was Hot! ”
Paula - “We all forget you are way beyond your years.” Even Paula commented on the eye thing.
Simon -“Truth is David you could have whistled and it would have sounded better than the last song. Very good choice of song. That was the best performance so far. “

Round Two;

David Cook
Tonight’s songs - “Teenage Wasteland” The Who
My Take - Notice the guitar - at least he played it. This was a much better song for him.
Randy - ” That’s more like the David Cook I’ve grown to love. ”
Paula - “I just want more.. I want more… more. ”
Simon -“Welcome back David Cook. “

Syesha Mercado
Tonight’s songs - “A Change is Going to Come” Sam Cook
My Take - I’m not sure what it is but when she’s singing a slower song it comes across as a stage/theatre performance - not a song from the next American Idol - Great voice though.
Randy - ” For me, This one I did not love so much. You were trying to push out things that weren’t even there. It feel flat for me. ”
Paula - “(Paula Stands) Beautiful. You turned this into something beautiful. Welcome to your dream Syesha. (Paula’s words start the river of tears…)”
Simon -“I have to be fair… I have to agree with Paula. “

Jason Castro
Tonight’s songs - ” Mr. Tambourine Man” Bob Dylan
My Take - This time he’s using the guitar…. Did he really forget the words??? or did I just mis-hear that section. I’m thinking he’s going home.
Randy - ” jason isn’t in the zone tonight.”
Paula - “It is what it is. It didn’t blow us away. ”
Simon -” Jason, I’d pack your suitcase. “

David Archuleta
Tonight’s songs - “Love me Tender” Elvis
My Take - That was pretty much flawless…
Randy - “Another great performance. You got it going on right now. ”
Paula - ” I felt your heart. Fantastic and very beautiful.”
Simon -“David, you didn’t beat the competition tonight, you crushed the competition tonight.”

I think Simon said it best, “David, you didn’t beat the competition tonight, you crushed the competition tonight.” Do you Agree… is David now the one to beat?

It’s a tie! ‘American Idol’ Latest Update

If only - wouldn’t that be a shocker!

So, we’re down to the final weeks of season 7 of ‘American Idol’ and while many of you have suggested it will be a David who wins this season - which David will it be? Archuleta or Cook?

An online oddsmaker, bodoglife.com, has posted updated odds for the winner of this season’s show and guess what… even the oddsmakers think it will be a David.

  • David Archuleta 20/21
  • Jason Castro 25/1
  • David Cook 20/21
  • Syesha Mercado 50/1
  • http://www.bodoglife.com/

These odds also seem to suggest that Syesha Mercado is the long shot. Although, I’d have to believe that Jason Castro is the long shot… and really, why are people still voting for him? He clearly could care less if he was there and his last two performances were… underwhelming?

Thoughts on who will go tonight (May 6)?
