I’m glad this season is almost over.  I can hardly stand to watch anymore.  Writing these recaps use to be fun.  Now it’s somewhat painful.  But here are some words:

Lee – Plaid shirt.  Decent vocals but no original spin on the song and it was pretty much a karaoke performance.  (Which Simon noted.)  Poor song choice but I don’t think he’ll get the Kiss From a Rose. Still my choice for runner up.

Mike – Black leather jacket.  Boring.  Judges weren’t feeling it.  Neither was I.  Will (He) Be There next week?  Could be close.

Lee/Crystal Duet – Judges loved it so I listened again to see if I missed something.  Decent vocals from both of them and they are my choices for the one and two spots, but I liked Kris Allen’s version from last season better.  They aren’t Falling Slowly, they are just limping along.

Casey – Turquoise leather jacket.  Third bad solo performance song choice of the night.  Out of three.  I don’t know if he was singing for Kara or Mrs. Robinson but I don’t think either one of them are throwing panties at the stage after that performance.  He’s fighting with Mike for the boot this week.

Crystal – Odd black dress showing too much pasty white leg between the hemline and the short black boots.  Best solo song of the night but still not what I would call a winning performance.  She’s lucky everyone else sucked.  (She’s) Alright.

Casey/Mike Duet – Judges liked this duet too.  I don’t know why.  I loved Ellen’s response to the question Have You Ever Loved a Woman. That’s good tv right there.

Two more weeks then Crystal will be crowned Season 9 American Idol.  After that she and the rest of this year’s ragtag group will drift off into entertainment oblivion.
