DSC_3848.JPGLast week, America got it right: they eliminated contestants who had under-whelmed, butchered notes and were never ever going to win American Idol. But this week is trickier. Much, much trickier. Not only is tonight the final elimination episode and the last cut before the hallowed Top 12, there are also a lot more middling mediocre performances to chose from.  

Most of the performances this week weren’t terrible, but most of them weren’t anything special. And it’s these kind of elimination nights, where it is so much more than the singing that comes into play, that makes me worried about who’ll be singing their swan song tonight and who, with their perfect bangs and six pack abs, will be staying. 

There’s one way to find out who stays and who goes America, watch along live with me. I’ll be looking for an even sadder rendition of “Smile” from Paige Miles and, of course, Tim Urban’s elimination. Though I’m feeling like only one of those things might actually happen tonight. What are you looking for tonight on American Idol?
