Ryan Seacrest started American Idol by calling out Michael Johns, who had his best performance yet with "It's All Wrong, But It's Alright". Michael Johns is safely on to the American Idol Top 8.
David Archuleta was next on the Idol stage. David A. also had one of his best performances last night with "Smokey Mountain Memories", he too is safely to the American Idol Top 8.
Carly Smithson sang "Here You Come Again". Ryan scared her, but Carly was allowed into the Top 8 as well.
After some phone-in questions (David Cook announced he is a slob), the Clark Brothers, winners of America's Greatest Band. I cannot wait until they release their first CD! The Clark Brothers will give you chills, guaranteed.
David Cook was the next American Idol contestant to come out on stage. Ryan Seacrest asked David C. about his trip to the hospital after last night's show. David C. explained that he has high blood pressure that spiked, but he is fine now. David Cook is in to the American Idol Top 8.
Ramiele Malubay was the first American Idol contestant in the bottom 3, as was expected.
Kristy Lee Cook came on stage and expected to go to the bottom 3, after her bad rendition of "Coat Of Many Colors". Even Dolly Parton did not appear to like Kristy's version of her song. I don't think that is a song that should be changed (or at least sped up, as Kristy did), it is a true story about growing up Dolly.
Syesha Mercado gave her version of "I Will Always Love You", which I enjoyed. She tried to stay away from Whitney's version, and did a good job. Syesha is in the American Idol Top 8.
Brooke White sang "Jolene", Jason Castro "Sang Traveling On".
Jason Castro is safely in the American Idol Top 8, leaving Brooke White in the bottom 3.
So the bottom 3 American Idol contestants are: Ramiele Malubay, Kristy Lee Cook, and Brooke White. Exactly right as far as I'm concerned (though it could have easily been Jason Castro).
Before sending a contestant home, Dolly Parton put on a show with her new song "Jesus and Gravity". Dolly Parton is Dolly Parton. She is an amazing performer with perfect pitch and can sing any song. Dolly Parton is a gift to all of us.
Dolly did make the point that Simon Cowell just tells the truth, and someone has to.
Leaving American Idol tonight is: Ramiele Malubay (I'm just glad I don't have to spell her name anymore!) Ramiele M. made it much farther than I thought she would, but she is now outclassed.
Your American Idol Top 8 are: Michael Johns, David Cook, David Archuleta, Carly Smithson, Syesha Mercado, Kristy Lee Cook, Brooke White, and Jason Castro.
