9:42 We’re back…Ryan is with the bottom three. Anoop, Lil and Scott…Ryan introduces Kellie Pickler. “Country sensation”? I hardly think so, Ryan…She’s singing “Best Days of Your Life” This is the kind of performance Simon would call a mess, because I think she’s only hitting every other note….Kellie walks over to Simon and sits in front of him. He’s clearly uncomfortable…Now she’s on the mini-stage so the judges try to pay attention. It was almost bad timing because just before she walked over there Simon, Randy and Paula were in conference, I’m guessing about whether they should save Lil if necessary…Kellie’s starting to work this one out a little bit…I take that back…Her dress is pretty short, but she’s not really showing off her “assets” tonight…Kellie talks about her “little sis,” Taylor Swift, who co-wrote that song with her and who she’s on tour with this spring…Ryan chases her off stage and brings the bottom three out…
9:48 Lights down…One is safe…It’s Lil. BOO HISS! What do people see in her?...That leaves Anoop and Scott in the bottom two. And here I was hoping we’d see an actual judges’ deliberation. They won’t save either of them…Break…
