American Idol Recap: Fly Away Home

American Idol, Episode 19, "Top Ten Results"


Curtis Finch, Jr, we hardly knew ye.  We only spent a few short weeks together, but it felt like a lifetime.  A lifetime that would never end.  A lifetime of smug faces, arrogance, too much melisma and a good voice.  It's too bad about all those other things, because if you had a decent personality to go with the fantastic voice, you probably wouldn't have been the first one eliminated.  Also, look what you did, America.  You caused Nicki to throw a temper tantrum when the judges didn't use the save.  She has had it with you.  I have a feeling this is going to become a thing and I'm OK with it.  Nicki is the most entertaining thing on American Idol right now, love her or hate her.

Besides Curtis being given the old heave ho, we had a couple of lackluster performances from Bon Jovi and Phillip Phillips.  America was given the choice to send either Charlie Askew or Aubrey Cleland to the tour.  The less said about those two the better.  There was a horrendous group performance to promote The Croods.  

Idol also took a page from The X-Factor and revealed the order that the contestants were saved.  Candice, Kree, and Angie were in the top three, we weren't told in which order.  Here are the rest of the top nine in numerical order:

4.  Lazaro Arbos
5.  Amber Holcomb
6.  Janelle Arthur
7.  Burnell Taylor
8.  Paul Jolley
9.  Devin Velez

Next week it's the Lennon/McCartney songbook.  So, were you surprised at the order of who was saved?  Will next week be more exciting?  Let me know in the comments.
