Latest update: The voters speak clearly
Your opinion came through loud and clear in our online poll: Ramiele Malubay should go home by a longshot with 46 percent of the total. You also wouldn’t be too surprised if Kristy Lee Cook or Jason Castro was sent packing. Will you be right? Read on.
First up to find out if he is safe is Michael Johns, which really was a no-brainer. Of course he is.
Next to make the walk is David Archuleta, who also finds out he’s made the top 8.
Carly Smithson comes to the stage as the third contestant, and Ryan makes her sweat it out before telling her she too is safe.
Brief interruption for the fan questions. (Are those awkward at times, or what?)
David Cook comes up next, and he has to explain his trip to the hospital after Tuesday’s show. He said it was no big deal, just a bout with high blood pressure. His blood pressure improves after Ryan tells him he is safe.
Ramiele is out next, and, as predicted, she is the first to be put into the bottom three.
Kristy Lee makes the walk to the stage and comes prepared with a note that says “Kristy’s Seat.” She felt she would be in the bottom three. She was right, and she joins Ramiele. One more to go before we find out who will leave us.
Syesha Mercado is called to the stage to find out her fate. She’s safe, which figures because they still have two people backstage.
Brooke White and Jason walk out together to see which one will join Ramiele and Kristy Lee. It’s Brooke who is in the bottom three, and that means America got it wrong. Jason deserved to be there more than Brooke.
Three women find themselves waiting to find out who goes home. Simon disagrees with me and says it’s the right bottom three.
(Side note: It’s possible to watch Idol and a Reds game at the same time. The Reds need to work on the fundamentals.)
Dolly Parton, the mentor Tuesday night, takes the stage next to show her students how it’s done. She delivers a high-energy performance that seemed odd for the AI audience, but she’s so likeable that it just doesn’t matter.
Now, back to the real reason we are all here: who gets to sing their swan song. Ramiele is still the one I think goes. Randy agrees with me, and Simon says Brooke should be safe. Simon is right, and Ryan sends Brooke into the final eight.
Without much drama — wow, wasn’t that unusually quick — Ryan tells Kristy Lee she is safe and that Ramiele is going home.
(Side note No. 2: Not much drama at the end of Idol, but the Reds win on a walk-off home run.)
Back on Idol, tears flow, and they put us through the terrible ritual of making the loser sing her way out, but the result certainly wasn’t a surprise to all of you who predicted it overwhelmingly.
So, let’s look forward instead of back and talk about who are the favorites now? What has changed for you, and what are you looking forward to?

I think Brook is trying to put one over on the public. I don’t think she’s as nice as she wants us to believeBy Dawna

Yes,I find Brooke to be very boring and she is beginning to come across in a most irritating way.Sort of bratty.By Shantei

LOL! I agree with you Elaine and Hillary. I hate it also when they talk back to the judges. Even though Simon may be negative, Paula may be too nice, and Randy is so-so sometimes, ALL of them are stars in their own way and they get PAID, and not just from AI. I don’t think that people realize that. I think that’s what bothers me the most about Brooke. She is not used to getting her feelings hurt. She can’t handle it. She wouldn’t make it in the industry. When she talks back to the judges, it drives me nuts! Chikeze did it in the beginning too, but he stopped. But Brooke does it everytime! I don’t think Jason Castro will be on there much longer either. I honestly think David Cook is going to win the whole thing. Any thoughts?By Hillary

Brooke bugs me a bit too. I think it’s her mouth (she’s always making odd little faces with it). She sings OK. But she always seems awkward. And she does talk back (and talk in general) a lot it seems. On to the results. Yes, Ramiele has had much better performances and I’m honestly to the point of lets just get rid of all but the Davids and Syesha (and maybe Carly) and get it over with. We know who’s gonna win already. Or at least who’ll be the bottom two. But I’m still upset that she went home and even more upset that Jason Castro made it to safety. HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? Ick. I can’t get past his hair or his terrible singing. Come to think of it, he and Brooke have similar weird things happening with their faces. Both very wide-eyed and make odd faces like they are off in la-la-land somewhere.By Elaine

Yes, Brooke does bug me too. Maybe it’s her being to nice to believe. Also, I don’t like it when the Idols talk back to the Judges. This has been going on alot this year and it seems very disrepectful.By Jo

I think that Brooke should not of been in the bottom three. I also wonder how in the world does Jason Castro keep out of the bottom three. Cheekzie is better than him and so is Ramiele. I hope that America is not going on looks, and even that is questionable?!!!! He has talent but come on. Its the same boring performance each week!!By Shirley

It was time for Ramiele to go, actually passed time in my opinion. She really had a nice voice, except she had trouble controlling her voice and staying on key. I predicted she would go home. Brooke does bother me. I think she has a nice voice, but nothing special or spectacular. And I think she might be fake. David C. and David A. are still my favorites, but I will say Michael Johns is also doing very well, as well as Carly. Syesha needs to go home, as well as KLC and Jason (not sure why he is still here, except the younger female fans are probably spending overtime voting for him).By Shantei

I got the three girls right. I didn’t think Ramiele was going to get kicked off though. Does Brooke bother anyone else besides me?
