Stevie Wonder Rocks the House

8:43 We’re back…Ryan asks Simon about where his head is concerning the Judges’ Save and Simon says that the two are there because America doesn’t like them very much. Wasn’t Simon the one that said last night that Matt was now a contender? He says they’ll base their decision on their final performance…Michael Slezak says that the Judges’ Save is being reserved for Lil and Lil only. I’m starting to believe him…

8:45 Ryan intros the Motown medley by Stevie Wonder. It’s just Stevie at the piano. They couldn’t have brought Matt and Michael back from purgatory to join the rest of the Idols? That’s not fair…Stevie starts with “My Cherie Amour”…“Superstition”…The Idols are loving this. Well, the ones on the couch are…”Overjoyed”…Paula leans over and gives Simon a kiss…Kara’s getting a little too into it…Everyone’s singing along…We’re not getting any close-ups of Matt and Michael. Poor Matt…The Idols aren’t going to have any voices tomorrow from all their screaming…I don’t know this one. “All About Love Again,” maybe?...Before picking up his harmonica, Stevie says, “I love you Barack Obama”…Then he says, “I love you ‘American Idol’”…Ryan, cut out the head bobs, sweetie…That, Idol producers, is how you do a medley…Finally we see Michael and Matt. Matt still looks sick and Michael is still smiling…Break…

It’s got to be Michael, doesn’t it?...
