5th Place

Making it in 5th place in American Idol is Aaron Kelly. He was very young and sweet but it was his time to go. Left in the compettion is Michael Lynche, Lee Dewyze, Crystal Bowersox and Casey James. Next week is songs from movies. I hope the 3 boys do well with this because they may struggle.

Elimination Night, May 5th

Last night was Frank Sinatra week. All the Idols did a song by Frank while they were mentored by Harry Connik Jr. He played the piano for all of them and re-arranged the songs for them too. Last night went pretty well and it's hard to say who is leaving next.
Aaron Kelly sang "Fly Me to the Moon." Overall the judges thought it was good and the vocals were good and he would be back but Simon said if Frank Sinatra was a lion, Aaron would be a mouse.
Casey James sang "Blue Skies." Randy and Ellen both agreed that it was pitchy all over and it could have been his worst performance yet and Simon said he felt Casey came over embarassed.
Crystal sang "Summer Winds." Randy felt it was a little sleepy and Ellen thought she could loosen up a little more and have some more fun. All the judges agreed the second half was better than the first.
Michael Lynche sang "The Way You Look Tonight." Randy said the vocals were amazing and the gauntlet was thrown down! Ellen said that he did great and out of all the contestants, he is the most comfortable on stage. Kara said he was still himself while taking them on a journey while he sang. And Simon said he really turned it around and he was amazing!
Lee Dewyze was last. He sang "That's Life." Randy loved it and Ellen said that if that performance was the performance for the chance to win it all, Lee would have won. Kara said he could win this thing but he needs more confidence in himself. Simon said he gave it 110% and it was the best performance of the night.

But who will go? I think Casey James is next to go. But the only person I think is safe for sure is Lee Dewyze and possible Michael. I think Casey goes tonight and then Aaron next week.
