Top 4 Results

Recap
Though I prefer Caleb to Jena, I predicted America would rank the contestants first to worst: Jena, Caleb, Alex, and Jessica. Jessica had a great final performance in Round #3 last night, but I think it was too little, too late. The others eclipsed her.

Confession
I just spent a good three minutes researching the correct usage for the past tense of outshine. I couldn't decided between, "The others outshined her," and, "The others outshone her." I went with eclipsed.

Hometown Visits
I can't wait until next week's hometown visits. I always cry.

Idol Top 4 Results... GO!

Trapdoor

We missed that last night.

Nothing
I've been sitting here for ten minutes with nothing to type. These results shows are getting lamer than lame.

Jena T3'd

1 for 1.

ALL COMMERCIALS

Is it just me, or are there more commercials than usual? How about a celebrity performance? A group performance? Everyone talks about how Idol is slowly dying. This format is part of the reason why.

Paddle Boating and Picnicking

Slightly less boring than the nearly never-ending commercials.

OMG

Jena: "We've been here for three months."

Jessica: "That's almost half a year."

Almost, Jessica. Almost.

Caleb T3'd

2 for 2.

Commercials

This is embarrassing. I'm embarrassed for Idol.

Alex T3'd

3 for 3.

Jessica

We nailed it, Idol Watchers. Fourth in the biggest singing competition in the country is pretty awesome. Good for her. I'll miss her personality and some of her singing. I think she would be a better studio performer than live performer. Looking forward to her first album. Poor thing. How could one not be emotional? Alex's turn next week.

Normally, I ask if you guys think that America got it right. Since I know you all think they did, I'll ask this: are you as annoyed with these Idol results shows as I? What can they do to make it better? I would even be OK with the lip-synced (lip-sunk?) group songs again. At least it would be something. Comment on the Facebook link...
