Songs That Shaped / Inspired Rock n' Roll Results Show

Let's get right to it - Ryan says they received 51 million votes!! Okayyyy, whatever he says!!

Group Number - ''Reeling In The Years'' - Catchy song but the sound system seems to be odd. The band is overpowering the singers. Since the song is easy they're actually able to sing it.

HIGHLIGHTS & CLIPS of last evening with comments by the judges

ELIMINATIONS BEGIN:

David A - safe - He says that his goal was to connect to the songs and have fun which he accomplished.

VIDEO - Our ''Fab Four'' went to Las Vegas to see Cirque du Soleil's Beatles Tribute which looks AMAZING.

David C - safe - He says that his head was in the wrong place last evening but he's back on track now.

Syesha M & Jason C - One will be leaving

FORD VIDEO - Johnny Cash's ''Ring Of Fire'' - Our Capp would have loved this! .

IDOL TAKES CALLS - mindless filler

Maroon 5 sings ''If I Never See Your Face Again - I'm expecting Blake Lewis to make a surprise appearance!!

Bo Bice sings ''Witness'' - I suspect the rocker fans are thrilled with his performance. He tells the contestants to PRACTICE!

Syesha M - safe - She says she was emotional last evening because of the meaning of her second song.

Jason C is ELIMINATED -- He says that he's been overwhelmed. Jason is smiling and seems happy.

We hear Ruben's ''Celebrate Me Home'' as a video of Jason plays.

Jason reprises '' I Shot The Sheriff'' - No comment from me!

Best wishes to Jason and whatever his next endeavor is.

NEXT WEEK: Our 3 Finalists Compete

Glad to see Jason FINALLY go home. I was a bit worried for Syesha. But Jason screwed up and deservedly got the boot. I was afraid his little girls would keep him in there. Whew!

ohhhh I loved seeing BO! Yay! (shirla)

America finally granted Jason's wish, thank heavens. Why they couldn't have voted him off when he stated he wanted to leave makes me think that we have selfish voters. I don't care for BO when he 'rocks' but I like some of his other numbers. It was nice seeing him appearing to be in good health. It was also a reminder of AI in better days. /sb

I was surprised and happy that Jason finally got the boot. He actually said there are 3 songs next week and he didn't know what he was going to do.

Our local Fox News had the schedule of the Idols at the Mirage over the weekend, which is why a bunch of fans just "happened" to be there waiting for them. LOL.

I'm sure he had no idea what he would sing next week. That's been his problem all along according to those who tried to work with him each week. Loved the LV bit. I'm sure Fox was out in full force. (LOL) /sb

If there ever was a contestant ready to go home it was Jason and he was given his wish tonight.

The Group Number was okay but I guess it was finally decided that this group of contestants can't handle anymore than just walking back and forth. Was that some lousy choreography or what? Maybe for other groups but for this group, it worked well.

The group looked like they had a good time in Vegas at the Cirque du Soleil's Beatles Tribute. I liked the Ford commercial this week but my son asked me, "Shouldn't the car have been a Taurus?" (The commercial featured the contestants bull(taurus)fighting a Mustang.)

Maroon 5 was okay; Bo Bice was great--nice to hear about second baby on the way; hated the phone call fillers. This was a suggestion from a poster on the recap page I put the link too--"If I had to choose between getting rid of the questions or the arm waving, I'd choose the arm waving." I guess I would go along with that too, only IF it came down to that. I'm hoping that both go!

The eliminations were so obvious. Why bother putting poor Syesha in that spot again. Just call her out separately and say she is safe and that's it. Jason wanted to go anyway. When it came time for Jason to sing, my son said (as if Jason is talking), "What should I sing...the song they hated or the song they hated less?". Yeah, big decision! LOL! I figured he would go with the Bob Marley song since he loves Bob Marley. One thing, though, Jason had a good time with his Bob Marley singout.

Good recap, songbird!

Jason was thrilled to leave. I suspect that he has decided that he's not cut out for show biz. I'm sorry I omitted his line about his being told that he SHOT MR TAMBOURINE MAN!!! (LOL). The guy takes nothing seriously!!! The group numbers aren't choreographed , IMO. That tour should be ''interesting''. Loved the LV bit and I thought of Capp during the Ford commercial. I like BO but not his rocker music. It's good to see him looking healthy again. I hope he has great success and good health. Finally, that ''Marley singout'' was a blast!!!! /sb

I had to laugh while watching the group singing at the beginning of the show. Their movements were awful and I had a flashback to the Brady Bunch episode where the kids appeared on that TV talent show. LOL!!! ........ suzyb

Amen on the Brady Bunch routine! I thought the same thing! Now I am going to have to think of that song they sang!! It was catchy! ~AV~

From a poster in the comments section--"If I had to choose between getting rid of the questions or the arm waving, I'd choose the arm waving." Gee, do we have to choose? I hope it never comes down to that. Because I vote both.

They both annoy me but that arm waving annoys me more because the camera people have to try to work around it. /sb

No surprise this week.    Jason did look relieved to be leaving.    I don't think he has the ambition of the rest of them.   I still think he has a cute personality and I like his voice when he isn't forgetting the lyrics or completely mutilating a song like I Shot the Sheriff.   

I just had a thought and don't know why I didn't have it when David Cook said he just wasn't himself yesterday.    The guy's brother is dying of brain cancer and I am SURE that weighs heavily on his mind at times.    :-(    I hope he is able to concentrate next week because I really do think he should win this season.

Jason is a cutie with talent that is untapped (I suspect). He chose to always play it too safe so we'll never know. Some people are not cut out for show biz. DC has often ben preoccupied but has great self control. I admire him for that. /sb

I'm loving Ruben's song 'Celebrate Me Home', I need to add it to my MP3 player. Every time I hear it I think of doing that.

Am I the only one who hates those phone calls? They need to cut the show time in half and just tell us who's eliminated. lol! Jason was ready to go home, you could really tell he was not unhappy or sad about being eliminated. I think final 2 will be the 2 David's.

Replies: (list all replies)

I agree that Ruben's song is pretty and perfect for the closing. Jason was doing a happy dance about leaving and you've got LOTS of company regarding those inane phone calls. /sb
