The Top 4 Results Show Kicks Off

8:59 Dramatic taped intro…Danny says he has to show people he can handle rock. Well, he couldn’t…Allison was clearly irritated backstage…And Allison and Adam were so cute…

By the way, the incident that happened on the stage last night was that Debbie, the stage manager, fell while on the steps on stage and even dangled off of them for a little bit. Apparently she got caught as they were collapsing. She went to the hospital as a precaution, but she was okay. That’s according to EW.com…

9:02 Over 64 MILLION VOTES? Seriously?! WOW!...Ryan introduces the Idols. Allison and Kris look a little sick. Danny looks cocky as always…Ryan introduces the judges…By the way, Paula’s performance tonight is, of course, on tape, as is No Doubt’s…Ryan teases everything happening on the show tonight…

9:04 Ford video…”Move Along”…Pictures of the Idols come alive to follow the cars…It’s a little hard to describe…and a little stupid…

9:04 Group song…Slash accompanies the Idols doing “School’s Out”…He is completely drowning out Adam…Danny gets the chorus?! Who arranged this? It’s not an R&B song, dear…A little feedback problem…Let me say again Allison and Adam are so cute. They duet again. Clearly the producers have discovered something here. I’d be shocked if they don’t perform together on the tour…Okay, Adam and Allison were good. Kris handled it alright. Danny not so much…

9:07 Ryan talks to Slash about the Idols and his solo album…Break…

Okay, I hope you’ll forgive me an anecdote here, but I can’t hear “School’s Out” without thinking of the Appalachian State pep band at Marshall’s last Southern Conference Basketball Tournament. Their pep band played it constantly and when the game got close it was a little scary. I made the mistake of walking by when they announced Marshall’s Keith Veney as the player of the tournament and I slightly feared for my life…

I'll get back to the show now...
