  • American Idol Results-Who Got Voted Off-The Final Three Edition

       May 18, 2005

    According to our own online poll, Vonzell is gettin' the boot tonight. Let's see if we're right.

    And it begins. Bo is looking more and more like he just stepped off of an Allman Brothers album cover lately. And yes, I realize that about 90% of you just went "who"? Follow the link kids (and while you're at it, listen to "Sweet Melissa" and "Blue Skies").

    In an impressive bit of synergy, last night's Idol audience was treated to a trip to the new Star Wars movie. That's a nice bit of marketing. What's not so nice is Carrie's horrible Yoda imitation. Oh, sweetie, that's just wrong on so many levels.

    In addition to getting down to the Final Two tonight, we're also going to get to see our contestants' trips home. Vonzell is up first. Everybody loves her at the Post Office. No shootings there (yeah, I know, that's an old, old joke, but it always works, just like the French and surrendering), instead her former co-workers are decked out in goofy "I [heart] Vonzell" t-shirts. After that, the Solomon family takes a trip on a $4 million yacht to a yoooge celebration. You know, I'm fairly cynical, but that's actually pretty cool. Vonzell was just another nice girl a few months ago and now she has thousands of folks in Fort Myers excited about her. It's the American Dream!

    After the feature, Vonzell repeats her performance of "Chain of Fools". This time though, she decides to just have fun and sing it directly to Simon. All the girls sing to Simon. I bet Randy feels so left out. Poor dawg.

    After the break, it's the latest Ford commercial. Bo's behind the wheel and so the whole "One Way or Another" looks like Bo and his ever-so-diverse little harem. Speaking of Bo, let's take a look at his trip home to Alabama. FREE BIRD!!! Bo is greeted by members of Lynyrd Skynyrd, cheering fans and the key to the city. I wonder where his pregnant girlfriend was?

    Predictably, Bo once against performs "In A Dream". This performance is nice, but it's nowhere near as intense as what he did last night. That was special. Still, the crowd eats it up and it's hard to believe that Bo is in any danger of going home tonight.

    It's off to Oklahoma with Miss Carrie Underwood. 10,000 people come to see Carrie in her hometown. Oddly enough, only 4,000 people live there. Carrie sings the National Anthem for something. Heh, something tells me she's done this before. Carrie gets the keys to the city, but she trumps Bo because the Governor of Oklahoma declared it "Carrie Underwood Day". If she wins she should demand an entire week!

    Can I just tell you how afraid I am that Carrie's going to sing "Making Love out of Nothing at all" again? Whew. She wisely opts to sing "Crying" instead. Damn, this is much, much better than what she did last night. The results show is hardly the time to pull out a great performance. Is it a case of too little, too late? We'll find out...after the break.

    And now it's time 37 million votes last night, but not enough of them were for Vonzell. The Vonz is voted off and Bo and Carrie will, as many predicted long ago, be the Final Two. So long, Baby V.

    Gee, Kris, I'm impressed you actually know who the Allman Brothers are (were)!

    A. I'm probably older than you think.

    B. My brothers and sisters (most of whom post here) are MUCH older than me, so I know all sorts of 70s bands that I shouldn't. ;-)

    It's been tough to for the last three finals.It turns out that one of americans best singer Vonzell Soloman gets voted off.I don't care what nobody say vonzell didn't deseve to get voted off.Bo and Carrie are not ment to be in the final two because they don't even sound that good.Vonzell fans just let her down.She just got that good tone of voice and always song her heart out.I just hope Vonzell make it some where with her singing.If I was old enough I would want to help her get her voice heard.Only reason those two are remaining is because of their fans and I don't know why because they can't sing.Vonzell was also a fashion model and I admire her.

    Do you really have to resort to personal attacks? She was only expressing an opinion.
