It’s another elimination night.  33 million votes were cast last night and another IDOL hopeful is about to go home!  Who will it be?  I predicted Big Mike is going.  But we shall see.  Shania Twain was the mentor last night and tonight it’s pure country with Rascal Flatts and Lady Antebellum performing.  Shakira performing too!  Not sure how that fits into the country theme.  In any case, it’s time to get on with the show, so all of you who haven’t seen the show should stop reading now.

It’s country night on IDOL!  More specifically, it’s Shania Twain night.  The Top 6 will take on the country diva’s greatest hits.  When I looked on iTunes I was surprised to see that Twain had more than 50 songs!!!  She should be a good mentor for the IDOL crew.  If there is one night that Aaron Kelly should shine, tonight is it.  Country is his genre, but stranger things have happened, right?  Okay, enough chit chat.  Time for some tunes…after the jump!

It’s a big night on IDOL.  TWO, yes, TWO are going home thanks to last week’s judges’ “SAVE” of Michael Lynche.  My IDOL senses tell me it’s Andrew Garcia and Aaron Kelly.  Both had weak performances last night, but my senses have been off this season.  Sigh.  Speaking of performances, IDOL mentor and runner up Adam Lambert will be performing “Whataya Want From Me” tonight.  This should be a good.  Not an Adam fan, but I love this song.  There is also a performances from former IDOL finalist Brooke White and former underwear model turned singer Justin Gaston.    So much to do, so little time, so unless you want to know what happened, STOP READING NOW.

It’s another week of IDOL fun and tonight Elvis is king!!!  Presley’s songs are the theme this week.  Also tonight, the IDOLS will be working with “mentor” Adam Lambert.  Don’t get me started on this choice.  I have griped to everyone who would listen.  Ugh!  Only on reality television is the loser of a reality show considered a mentor of THAT reality show.  In any case, I don’t know what the heck Glambert has to do with Elvis, but I guess they were/are both showmen.  And the pressure to perform is on this week. Two contestants will be going home this week thanks to last week’s “Save” by the judges of Michael Lynche.  Time to get rockin…
