Top 13 Results Show: The Return of the Beloved Group Number

8:00 Mega dramatic intro recapping last night. That was good…

8:01 Credits roll. Nigel just tweeted that the show will be live from now on. And then he said, “Scary”…

8:02 The judges are introduced. Steven Tyler is in full Aerosmith garb tonight with the full-length jacket lined in leopard print.

8:03 Ryan tells us the Judges’ Save is once again in play this season. Nice!...The Top 13 come through the screen doors…Only Thia looks really nervous…Casey is not there. Ryan says he’s in the hospital. Uh-oh! That’s twice now. Hope he’s okay…

8:05 Video of the Idols arriving at their Beverly Hills mansion. HOLY COW! No wonder they’re so excited…Scotty says it’s too much for a North Carolina boy…The pool table has a Ford logo on it…And of course there are Fords parked outside of it…

8:07 Yea! A group number. Yes, that was sarcastic…But at least they’re singing…It’s “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’”…Now “Rock With You”…As off as some of them are, I have a bad feeling they’ll be lip synching again next week…Now “Black or White”…Why the Michael Jackson medley?…Okay I think they’re lip synching some of this now. And I don’t think Scotty has sung a single note. Poor guy. Totally out of his range…”Man In the Mirror”…Okay that wasn’t completely painful. Just a little…After the break…
