Who Went Home on AMERICAN IDOL?

May 6, 2009 by  

UPDATE: Looking to find who went home on IDOL? Click here for tonight’s shocking results: Who Went Home on AMERICAN IDOL? (March 11, 2010)

PREVIOUS POST

Start the live blogging a little late tonight.  The first 20 minutes were filled with another horrible Ford commercial, a boring rendition of “School’s Out”, Danny making light of the “horror” screech, and Allison getting bleeped out.  Yup, bleeped (but I have no idea why).

9:18pm: IDOL begins (and possibly ends) with Paula Abdul’s performance.  What was that hot mess?  The lip syncing was expected but embarrassing. The song was boring and cliched.  The high point of the performance was watching SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE S2 winner Benji Schwimmer working it as a back up dancer.  And not for nothing, but hasn’t Paula been all over the news talking about her chronic back pain? Why is she having the guys throw her all over the stage like an (old) bag of flour? Oy vey!

9:24pm: Cleansing the palette from Paula’s performance is No Doubt.  Now here’s some real talent.  And look at that, Gwen Stefani is singing live. Interesting. God that woman looks good.  Love me some No Doubt and I’m glad they’ve reunited in such a big way. Did Gwen lose a bet?  What was with all the push-ups?

9:35pm: Tonight the steel stools are the place to be rather than the pace to dread.  Ryan will be sending the safe contestants to those stools.  The last man (or woman) left standing will be going home tonight.

Ryan is sending one person to safety and that person is…

  • Kris Allen – YES!!!!!!!!!!

I have to admit, I’m a little teary right now. I’m so glad America pulled through and backed up Kris.  Take that and shove it up your Brit ass Cowell. So happy!

Of course this means there is a really good chance Allison is going home tonight.  That would be devastating. But as long as it’s not Kris I can live with it.  Fingers crossed for you Iraheta.

9:43pm: Three years ago this week it was Chris Daughtry that was sent home in one of the most shocking IDOL moments ever. Not that it mattered.  Chris went one to become not only the most successful IDOL contestant of his season, but one of the most successful IDOLs ever.  Daughtry is the real deal and I’m a huge fan of his. Looking forward to the second album.

As he did ever week when he was competing on IDOL, Chris Daughtry rocked the shizz out. (He was a bit pitchy and his voice cracked a few times), but I still love him.

Kris Allen helped to present Daughtry with their platinum album signifying 5M albums sold world wide.  One day someone is going to present that plaque to YOU Kris Allen (and Adam Lambert…and Allison Iraheta).

9:53pm: Hello SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE!!!  The new season starts on May 21st.  If you thought I loved IDOL you have no idea! I worship SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE. I hope you’ll hang with GiveMeMyRemote.com for our recaps and podcasts throughout the SYTYCD season.

9:54pm: We are back and Ryan is sending someone else to the silver stools.  And that person is…

  • Adam Lambert (as expected…as deserved)

9:55: After 64M votes, the person voted off IDOL tonight is Allison Iraheta.

So so so sad.  But please get on your feet for Allison Iraheta – a stunning, brilliant talent who will go on to do amazing things in her career.  They always say that IDOL is the platform and just the beginning. I’m not sure that has ever been more true than it is for 17 year old Allison Iraheta!

Go kill it girl!!!

Next week: The final three guys take on two songs each — one chosen by the judges and the other a personal pick.  Start thinking about what you want each of the guys to sing!!

    Woohoo!!! Go Kris! Put the GO in Gokey!!!!

  2. Lisa on May 6th, 2009 9:48 pm

    I think Danny needs to go, but I think it’s going to be Allison sent packing.

  3. Shauna on May 6th, 2009 10:01 pm

    I am so freakin mad that Allison went home, she was supposed to and deserved to go to the top. That’s such B.S.! I think Allison and Danny should have made it to the top two. Well I still love you ADAM LAMBERT! I hope he wins out of the remaining 3.

  4. Zary on May 6th, 2009 10:03 pm

    I’m sorry. I have to disagree with your opinion on Kris Allen. I think he’s good. Better then Gokey, but Allison and Adam were the two best BY FAR.

  5. Bean on May 6th, 2009 10:06 pm

    Thanks for the updates. Watching on TiVO now and teasing my wife with the result. Gwyn is just starting the push-ups.

  6. Carli on May 6th, 2009 10:17 pm

    Very disappointed. I like Kris a lot, but Allison deserved staying over him. Although, Danny is the one who should’ve left.

  7. Kathy on May 6th, 2009 10:23 pm

    I can’t believe they kept Kris or Danny over Allison. Adam WILL win it all.

  8. macy on May 6th, 2009 10:27 pm

    i LOVE kris allen… hes amazing, i cannot stand adam’s voice, i know hes got talent but theres just something about him that bothers me. i just feel like hes trying wayy wayy too hard, it got old fast.

  9. Justin on May 6th, 2009 10:29 pm

    Kris, Allison, and Danny should be there not Adam, all adam does is scream and act all dramatically, she needs to go back to musicals and not be just a singer, he’s too dramatic and screams way to much. GO KRIS!

  10. noel on May 6th, 2009 10:37 pm

    Ummm……………….. did allison go home???

  11. alex on May 6th, 2009 10:39 pm

    OMG allison went home!!!!! I loved her tho
    sad and pouts

  12. Abb on May 6th, 2009 10:42 pm

    So i completely agree with Zary. But i think it should have been Danny to go this week and then Kris next week and absolutely Adam and Allison at the top. Adam and Allison were UN-believable last night, particularly with the duet. Adam for Idol! <3

  13. Mel on May 6th, 2009 10:58 pm

    Adam is crap and he needs to go. He’s a total poser and needs to join Clay Aiken on Broadway. Kris needed to go in the first rounds, he doesn’t have the chops. He’s a coffee shop performer. Allison was great and need to be in the top two with Danny. He has the purest voice I’ve ever seen. He did good lastnight, despite what Simon said. Has Simon heard the original? It sounds like Steven Tyler is killing a cat, Danny was awesome. Thinking about the future, I would never buy Adam’s CD, nor Kris’s but Danny and Allison’s, yes.

  14. R. on May 6th, 2009 11:35 pm

    Anyone who understands what talent is when you see it staring right at you, would know that Allison is ‘Real Talent”. Despite her age of only 17 she is way ahead of her time. The ‘SAVE’ card should have been used tonight to save Allison…wrong decision to use it on Matt…Simon was right when he said that he didn’t see Matt winning Idol…the card was wasted…I agreed with Simon when he threw up his arms and gave into the girls to save Matt…baaad decision. I also agreed with Simon when he stated there were 3 possible winners …..Adam, Allison and Danny in that order. Each distinct with their own style, but all possess a very special talent….all worthy of making it in the music world. Nonetheless….another disappointing season as far as Allison let go, I will agree there was a lot of competition this season with some very great talent…but Allision is unforgetable. It’s too bad she’s gone I was looking forward to duking it out til the end with Adam. PS. Allison picked the right song ‘Cry Baby’ when she sang it tonight with tears in her eyes…she sang her heart out…and as great as Janis herself…full of emotion…I got chills listening to her and had tears in my own eyes to watch her. She’s Fantastic!

  15. Kim on May 6th, 2009 11:37 pm

    Gokey needs to GO. So pissed Allison left. She rocked the hell out of her swan song. All my support goes to Kris.

  16. Kim on May 6th, 2009 11:39 pm

    R. – the save card being used on Matt is irrelevant at this point. It had to be used before the top 5 round or it couldn’t be used at all.

  17. Give Me My Remote on May 6th, 2009 11:40 pm

    Yeah, what Kim said 🙂

  18. Get You Some Of That on May 6th, 2009 11:54 pm

    DANNY IS THE BOMB….. AND NOT TO MENTION HE IS HOT AS HATTIES. EVERYONE NEEDS TO STOP HATING BECAUSE HE HAS WHATEVER IT IS. THE VOTES SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. DONT BE SUCH SORE LOSERS. SORRY YOU ALL’S GIRL WENT HOME BUT THAT’S LIFE. AND BTW, IF YOU DIDNT GET THE POINT, NOT ONLY CAN DANNY SING…..HE IS HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  19. Yolanda on May 7th, 2009 12:00 am

    OMG!! I cant believe she went home, Allison should of been on top 3, Danny will win, , not kris or adam, one of them should of went home. Wuts up with u people, Allison will make a great album.

  20. Amber on May 7th, 2009 12:07 am

    thats bull a guy won last season Allison should have won this season she was better than everyone yeah the last four were really good and I excepted it to come down to her and Adam.Kris and Danny arnt bad either but not as good as Allison and Adam should really go home.what the hell is up with everyone voting kno I should have voted last night.Poor Allison but go on with ur career and ull do great!!!!!

  21. Marcy on May 7th, 2009 12:25 am

    Ridiculous teenage girls probably voted for Kris. Allison should have stayed 🙁
    Her voice is different, original. Kris’s is ordinary; I like him, but he is not as special as Allison. Girls who thought Kris is their prince charming prob voted for him… Jeez! Crazy people. I can’t wait for Allison’s CD

  22. Jill on May 7th, 2009 12:37 am

    Too bad Danny didn’t go home, that performance should have sent him packing. They are all awesome performers, though. Allison is going to have such a great career, for as long as she wants to have one. I think she should have stayed and Danny should have gone this week. Adam has such a powerful voice, but I feel like he is ONLY using his voice when he sings, and not really feeling the emotions or the story in the songs he is singing, so that is what is missing there for me. Kris is my favorite because he changes it up, I love those funky little grooves he gets going on.

  23. poopywalkietanga on May 7th, 2009 12:47 am

    ok dude adam and allison should be the top 2 and danny should have gone home !!!!!! danny f****n sucked last nite !!!! i was like for once in his life simon was rite!!! it was a horror movie !! aeeeeeeeehhwhwheaeahaaaa !!!!! poor allison ! she was really good !!! i am so pissed that danny came in before her when he sounded like s**t !!!!!!@#$%@#!>**(&*%^% % ^#$#$%@# #$^#$^@@# #$%^$^ #$^%$^ #$ ^%$^ #$^%^%&*&* (##$! #$ ^*^%#@#!@ !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  24. Mel on May 7th, 2009 12:57 am

    First of all it’s spelled “Hades” for the girl called”Get you some of that.” Seconed, it doesn’t matter what he looks like, I don’t think Danny’s all that hot but it doesn’t matter because his voice is perfection.

  25. Aimes on May 7th, 2009 1:38 am

    OMG, Danny needs to go. I’m so sad to see Allison go. She was our baby, our rocker chic, and we let her down. I’m ashamed.

  26. Michele on May 7th, 2009 8:41 am

    I voted for Allison for the full two hours (yes, I am a 33 year old mom of two…). I really think she deserved to stay over Gokey, and I think an Allison/Adam finale, with their respective talent, and clear love for each other would have been awesome. Boo to Gokey! (Happy for Kris, but I would be shocked if he makes it past the grip of the Idol producers next week. They have been pimping an Adam/Danny finale since the Top 13, and you know how much they are itching to show those clips and say ‘We called it!’ Of course you did.)

  27. Kimber on May 7th, 2009 10:34 am

    Can’t say I’m an Idol fan, but I am aware of the talent, via this website, and also catching the “tail ends” of episodes while waiting for other things to air (ex: Fringe). Just had to comment because of the mention of SYTYCD! Woo hoo! I listened to the GMMR/Ducky podcasts last year religiously, even before I started watching!! So I’m glad to know that the podcasts will make a return this year.

  28. Rebeka on May 17th, 2009 1:05 am

    I dont think Allyson should have gone home.

    I in addition to my buddies came digesting the excellent ideas found on your web site and so suddenly developed an awful feeling I never expressed respect to the web site owner for them. My women happened to be very interested to read them and now have extremely been having fun with them. Appreciation for indeed being considerably thoughtful and then for utilizing some wonderful areas millions of individuals are really needing to be aware of. My sincere regret for not expressing gratitude to you earlier.
