American Idol - Results Show

Live blogging...hour show! Let's hope for some REALLY bad Latin group number!

Ryan is talking alot slower tonight. He questions Paula as to whether she saw a new side of any of the contestants and she giggles? Many sides she eventually answers...giggles.

A Group NUMBER! YEA! Some of this song is in Spanish! No idea what that song was? Was it me or did Chris, Phil and Jordin have more solo's than the rest?

Commercial Break...

Idol Challange winner introductions...and new question...Select "B" for "MeatLoaf"...think finale S5.

Over 35 million votes this week. Ryan wants America's OPINION. Interviews on the street. Toddler... can you say "SANJAYA". She likes him! Bald guy likes Phil. Ryan gets a kiss from a fan. The End of that.

Akon is performing...again? This has to be taped. So does that mean we get Fergie next week? I understand she is performing POST show tonight. We could really do without this filler. Akon has absolutely no connection to American Idol. We only want MENTORS!

Commerical Break...so we don't have to see Ryan in a different outfit...

Ford Commerical next? YES!! Singing So Happy Together!! Now Ryan plugs Idol Gives Back. Names some sponsors...Ford, AT&T, yada yada. Video of Simon in Africa. "School Room in a Box", enough stuff to educate a young person in Africa for $83. Girl draws on chalkboard a picture of Simon with boobs. Simon is BLUSHING!

Ryan is asking Simon if he would sing if they receive $20 million...NO. I can see this going on for next few weeks. Cute skit judges with Tony Bennett auditioning and the judges hate him!

Commercial Break....Ryan teases results up next...

Phil not you...
Haley...stay here too
Chris you can sit down

FINALLY

NOW a little J Lo video. Idol's talk about how impressed they are with Jennifer Lopez. Sanjaya wants J Lo's number...haha...Mark Anthony doesn't have to know! He hopes she picked up on his passion.

J Lo singing in Spanish. I am actually diggin this! Have no idea what she's singing about! One of the better mentor performances! Smoke bombs and everything.

Ryan / J Lo talk. How did the Idol's do? Did you agree with the judges? All did good and not completely. She says she comes from the Paula school of criticism! She believes in accentuating the positive! Not that we don't need Simon she adds!

Commercial Break...

On a side note...the local Fox news keeps showing commercials of Gina's homecoming! She got a key to the city of Naperville today...in the midst of the snow and all! Her parade was cancelled though!

Phil ...you are safe
Haley it's the end of the road...

Video of her journey...then sing out...
