Idol recap: No reprieve for Alexis
Wednesday night on American Idol: Tears, self-loathing and all-out sobbing
fits. And that's just from Idol's producers who must have turned over
the show's direction and Ford commercial ideas to a Cub Scout troop. (Water balloons? Really?)
In the end, "Big Oil" Michael Sarver and dye-queens Allison Iraheta and Alexis Grace were sitting on the three stools of shame.
"I shamefully admit I had a dream that Ryan [Seacrest] said tonight would be a 'shocker.' I woke up weeping," PiScene confessed during the live chat.
Save the tears for tonight's reject: Alexis had a good chance of getting the judges' reprieve, but her scratchy reprise of Jolene impressed nobody. The only way she's catching this year's Idol tour is as a ticket-holder.
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

A.I. AGAIN?!?
zzzzzzzzz

I think the A.I. fans got it wrong. Alexis you are a very talented young woman and you should be going on tour. I do not want to mention any names, but someone else should have went home last night. Good Luck Girl!

well, i really hate that alexis isnt on the tour and "big oil" and the blind piano guy are....very disappointing to me!

Our life would suck without you.

Game, set, match. Sean loses.
So much for the prognostication, Puxatawney Phil.
Crawl back into your gopher hole.

Woop! Hell of a way to make an entrance, PiScene! SCORE!

Looks like chatter PiScene just won the Page 2 Quote of the Night in Mr. Spears Idol Recap above.

I'm going to console myself with some stale Guinness. 'Night, everybody!
Posted by: PiScene | March 18, 2009 at 10:08 PM
Scott's talent is equal to Sanjaya's pony-hawk.
Posted by: Marissa | March 18, 2009 at 10:04 PM
I agree, Jilly. Sadly I must weep openly. Squinty needed to go.
Posted by: PiScene | March 18, 2009 at 10:03 PM
So how much are they going to have to pay people to see this tour? Wow what a bunch a dregs!
Posted by: sparky | March 18, 2009 at 10:03 PM
Jan, I'm all bittery and shaking my fists
Posted by: Marissa | March 18, 2009 at 10:02 PM
I'm thoroughly dissapointed. Scott and oil rig guy did NOT deserve to stay in over Alexis Grace. I'm going to bury my head in my snuggie sleeve out of saddness now.
Posted by: JillyBean | March 18, 2009 at 10:02 PM
It's gotta suck big rig time to be #11. You're thisclose to going on tour. Will she be a runner up if one of the other 10 are unable to fulfill their responsibilities as an American Idol?
Posted by: Marissa | March 18, 2009 at 10:01 PM
I will be donning the official Snuggie for the induction next week. And liberally spraying Febreeze.
Posted by: PiScene | March 18, 2009 at 10:01 PM
Geez, so I finally get to watch AI for the first time all season and I tune in just in time to see that wasted "save" card? This makes no sense to me at all! And now I have to listen to Carrie Underwood and that butchered "Home Sweet Home!"
Yes, I am bitter.
Posted by: Jan Wesner | March 18, 2009 at 10:01 PM
OK, the Prez keeps interfering with my AI/work schedule. I'm given Tues and Weds nights off. NOT weds and Thurs. OY! I'll miss the doinking.
Posted by: Marissa | March 18, 2009 at 10:00 PM
I don't understand how she got bounced and Liza Lambert continues to make my ear drums bleed.
Posted by: sparky | March 18, 2009 at 10:00 PM
(that last comment was to PiScene by the way)
Posted by: JillyBean | March 18, 2009 at 10:00 PM
Oh, must I fuss over Sean?
If Alexis had only worn the boob sling dress.
Posted by: PiScene | March 18, 2009 at 09:59 PM
Agreed! Like Riss said to me, your branded into the idol blog! (or something along those lines).
Posted by: JillyBean | March 18, 2009 at 09:59 PM
Sparky, once in the entire contest. They'd be fools to keep her at this point. She's not save worthy. She's screaming and pleading like a crack head
Posted by: Marissa | March 18, 2009 at 09:58 PM
So can they only save once in before the Top 5 or is every contestant eligible for one get out of jail free card.
Posted by: sparky | March 18, 2009 at 09:57 PM
IS it me, or is she slightly behind the music?
Posted by: Marissa | March 18, 2009 at 09:57 PM
I don't understand why they would use the save so early in the season...there is so much more time to go with people who are better, why use it now?
Posted by: Starfish | March 18, 2009 at 09:57 PM
Shocker! They are giving her the save card.
Posted by: Marissa | March 18, 2009 at 09:56 PM
Aghh i can't predict anything right!!! Plus im mad! no lottery tickets for me this week!
Posted by: JillyBean | March 18, 2009 at 09:56 PM
Well, there's always next week.
Posted by: PiScene | March 18, 2009 at 09:56 PM
Pi, we have sooooooooooooo long to go. You're more than welcome to pull up a Pop Life comfy chair and complementary Snuggie. Febreeze avaialable upon request. Please tip your servers and fawn over Sean now and then.
Posted by: Marissa | March 18, 2009 at 09:56 PM
Michael's kids are going to hate him more becuz he's not comin home
Posted by: will | March 18, 2009 at 09:55 PM
And Ris, we get more laughs from you as well.
Posted by: PiScene | March 18, 2009 at 09:55 PM
All you who voted for Adam, what do you have against me? The kid should play off Broadway. Like 60 miles East.
Posted by: sparky | March 18, 2009 at 09:55 PM
Yay! I love you guys too! I wish I'd come here sooner!
Posted by: PiScene | March 18, 2009 at 09:54 PM
I would like to thank Typepad for being far more agreeable this evening. Now, all my anger can be directed at singers I do not like. No hate mail will be sent to the author of this blog tonight.
Just sayin'
Posted by: Marissa | March 18, 2009 at 09:54 PM
it's not enough that I was just tortured by Carrie *on* Idol, but now I'm suffering a commercial with her singing those stupid s's
Posted by: Marissa | March 18, 2009 at 09:53 PM
Haha yay i got a laugh from PiScene and my pop life mama Riss! thats exciting.
Posted by: JillyBean | March 18, 2009 at 09:53 PM
Michael is gonna get to spend time with the kiddies again.
Posted by: Marissa | March 18, 2009 at 09:52 PM
Tell us how you really feel Riss. ha ha.
Posted by: Starfish | March 18, 2009 at 09:51 PM
I think Carrie invested in a Bumpits for that "complete Tammy Wynette up-do"

Your head accoutrements should not exceed 1/4 the mass of your head.

hahahaha JillyBean.
Posted by: Marissa | March 18, 2009 at 09:50 PM
Actually I think Carrie is channeling Barbara Mandrell.
Posted by: sparky | March 18, 2009 at 09:49 PM
I hate! detest! Loathe the way Carrie says her s's -- GAH!She looks stupid! She is too f'ing loud even when it's a solemn portion of the song.
GAH!
Mute!
Posted by: Marissa | March 18, 2009 at 09:49 PM
Randy looks like country frankenstein with that stitched up jacket.
Posted by: JillyBean | March 18, 2009 at 09:48 PM
Ha Jilly! I know!
Posted by: PiScene | March 18, 2009 at 09:48 PM
It's a country take on Beauty and the Beast.
Posted by: Rebecca | March 18, 2009 at 09:47 PM
Guys, I voted for Adam too. Heh.
Posted by: JillyBean | March 18, 2009 at 09:47 PM
What the hell does Carrie have on her head? She killed a damn blackbird and smacked it on her noggin'
