This week’s elimination round will determine who will get to join the American Idols Tour. That must suck big time for this week’s “loser”. Let’s start the recap.

In the future shows, the Idol contestants will have mentors to help them with the competition and they will be Dolly Parton, Mariah Carrey, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and Neil Diamond. The songwriting contest has also been announced. So whoever’s got skills in songwriting better step up, because your song might be the next American Idol single.

It’s American Idol day again. Performance nights are Tuesdays in the US and Wednesdays in the Philippines, but well, I got friends in the US that like to update me and also like to spoil stuff for me, so I might as well blog about it and tell everyone. The Idols sang Lennon-McCartney songs again, and some did well, and some didn’t do too well.

Rocker nurse Amanda Overmyer went first and sang “Back in the U.S.S.R.”. It’s either I was too young or wasn’t born yet when this song was written. Umm, a little scared for the nurse. Too much talent on this show.

Who got eliminated tonight? Jim Carrey was at the show, dressed up like an elephant. Haha, love the guy, he’s hilarious! It has been noted that 29 Million votes were counted. Jim Carrey wasn’t the only one at the show, an American Idol alumnus was there too, namely Sanjaya Malakar with his sister, Shyamali.

Carly Smithson, Michael Johns and Jason Castro were called to the safe side first. Syesha Mercado was then called to the Bottom 3. The Ford Commercial that they NEVER show on Philippine television was aired.

It’s time for the American Idol Top 12 to showcase their talents again before one of them gets eliminated again on the new stage tomorrow. Last night, it was Beatles night and it seems that the Beatles had them going for their money. The best performers from the previous weeks have been told that they weren’t doing too good this week. As an overview, here’s what happened.

It was Syesha Mercado who braved the bigger and better stage. She did a rendition of “Got To Get You Into My Life” and apparently did well even if she started “off-pitch”. And Simon saying that “it was better than alright.” has to be something positive, right?

And America has voted. The first four to leave the reality TV show are Garrett Haley, Amy Davis, Joanne Borgella and Colton Berry. Each contestant performed an encore of what they sang during performance nights as part of the American Idol tradition.

From left: Joanne Borgella, Amy Davis, Garrett Haley, Colton Berry and American Idol host Ryan, Seacrest.

Garrett Haley did an encore run of his performance of “Breaking Up Is Hard To Do”. Amy Davis did “Where the Boys Are”, Joanne Borgella sang “I Say A Little Prayer” and Colton Berry did “Suspicious Minds”. As usual, Simon Cowell has been harsh on the contestants’ performances, not just the booted four, but he does have valid points, the only bad thing that he does is that a lot of people just can’t stand the ways he likes to blurt things out just like that.

Hmmm, I have my own opinions about the four, but I’m not gonna be as blunt as Simon was, not especially on my blog.
