American Idol: Giving Back, Urban Axed
Last night we learned who FINALLY got voted off American Idol. It was pretty much only a matter of time for the axed contestant. However, let’s chat about the talent packed show first.
George Lopez showed up and took over for a bit. Cyrstal Bowersox and Casey James were put head to head and it was announced one of them was in the bottom 3. Being that Crystal has this in the bag, Casey knows he is up for the axe. Lee Dewyze and Aaron Kelly are put together and Aaron also is knows he is a bottom dweller.
Barack and Michelle Obama gave a special message about helping people and good do-ing. Ryan Seacrest kicked off the show with a performance by the Top 12 who were dressed in all white. I pretty sure they are ready for a Puffy party. The Black Eyed Peas then performed “Rock that Body.” Fergie was sporting some bloat which will become a tabloid baby bump.
Alicia Keys brings her hotness out and performs. She was the mentor this week. She got the crowd to their feet and sang “Unthinkable/Empire State of Mind.” One of her back-up singers is noticeably having pitch issues. It is actually great because it is distracting from the ill fitting outfit she is strutting around in. To half is great but from the hips down it is not the best cut.
Carrie Underwood follows with another return to the Idol stage. Bill Gates is also thrown in there. Ok, why not?
Finally we get to the rest of the contestants. Michael Lynche, Siobhan Magnus and Tim Urban are all ushered in and we can pretty much point and giggle as we know Tim is another bottom dweller. I almost feel bad then I remember he has cheek bones that will cost most of $3,000 to have.
Again we have more performers lined up to raise some funds for giving back. Mary J. Blige takes the stage with Randy Jackson and Orianthi. I kinda felt awkward watching Randy play the guitar and try to capture Mary’s attention. Blige sang a Led Zeppelin classic, “Stairway to Heaven.” Not too many people can pull it off, but I liked it.
Simon Cowell was humanized a bit an announced that $15 million has been raised by “American Idol” Gives Back. Ben Affleck, looking like the homeless guy who lives behind Big Lots, also begged for us to dig into our pockets to help out.
Next we had Sex Ed with Elton John. He talked about condoms, AIDS and getting tested. He followed with “Your Song.”
Finally Tim Urban is mercifully cut. Who will be next? Any guesses?

Tim’s time has finally come. Didn’t think that Casey would have been in the bottom 3.
