American Idol Elimination Mini-Recap

I haven't been too into this season of Idol, but since Adam Lambert was performing, I thought I would give it a chance again. However, once the opening lip sync began, I hit the fast forward until that awesome green laser cone surrounded Lambert, who totally rocked a re-worked version of Whaddaya Want from Me for an enthusiastic audience. As far as the two that went home, Michael Lynch was spared another week (good job America), which left Katie Stevens and Andrew Garcia the ones to go home. Tim Urban must have made some deal with a higher power. What do you think? Did the right ones go home?

American Idol: Big Mike gets saved

In a shocking turn of events last night, Michael "Big Mike" Lynche ended up in the bottom three, and was ultimately the one contestant revealed to have the lowest number of votes. However, thanks to the controversial judges save, Lynche was able to perform "This Woman's Work" (arguably his best performance to date) and wowed them enough to remain in the competition. What do you think? Should Big Mike have been saved? Or should he have gone home?

My DVR Moment of the Week

This week goes to American Idol's Michael Lynche for continuing (imo) to dominate the men. His performance was very moving, and really showed that unique balance of talent and performance that should be required of all Idols.

Runner Up: Gabrielle Carteris  on this weeks Criminal Minds. Though the episode was normal CM antics (crazy person abducts, the team assembles a profile, they spring into action before it's too late) what distinguishes this one is the former original 90210 cast member utters the line "I was in high school once," while driving with her daughter in the car. If that isn't a nod, I don't know what is.

Missed Moment: J'Lo on How I Met Your Mother. I've heard both good and bad things, but for anyone that reads this, you know I always like to see for myself.

Michael Lynche's Song Choice

After watching Michael Lynche's performance again, I kept thinking to myself that I have heard this song before on T.V., but just couldn't place where. Then it hit me: On So You Think You Can Dance, Melissa and Ade danced an extraordinary piece by Tyce Diorio to that same song by Maxwell.  In my opinion, the dance Melissa and Ade did is one of the best in the shows history, and Lynche's take was by far my favorite this season. It just goes to show you what the power one awesome piece of music can bring out in someone, be they a dancer or signer. All future Idol contestants (and even the current ones) should take note of that.
