American Idol: Andrew and Katie's Sweet goodbye!

Via Greg in Hollywood:

The highlight of last night’s American Idol results show was the performance of this week’s mentor, Adam Lambert. The 2009 runner-up did his hit single Whataya Want From Me complete with green light lasers and smoke and, of course, lots of eyeliner.

He was sensational and is very deserving of his stardom.

After he sang, host Ryan Seacrest – far better behaved tonight after Tuesday’s bizarro moments – chatted up Adam who said his experience on Idol was the perfect training ground for a musical career.

“We worked so hard on this show to give everybody a surprise every week,” he said. “Thanks to ‘American Idol,’ because it prepared me to make it in the real world. I owe ‘American Idol’ everything.”

Well said.


Okay, now for the results.
It was easy to make the call that Andrew Garcia would be sent home by voters tonight on American Idol after his lackluster Hound Dog last night.

I think he has a terrific voice but good grief, he made so many bad choices in terms of songs and arrangements that it is stunning that he did not get the boot sooner.

Katie Stevens was not a huge surprise since she’s been in the bottom three several times already but I felt a little bad for her because she gave it all she had, tried to grow each week, and really should be proud of finishing in eighth place.

Both will perform on tour this summer so it’s not over for them. (Can't wait to meet Tim)

So you know what this means don’t you? Tim Urban has made it to the top seven and not only that, he has managed to stay out of the bottom three for two weeks running.
I think he’s earned it.
