Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber is at the piano while the six sing “All I Ask of You.” Well, I enjoyed the piano at least.

By the way, Ryan kissed Simon on the head at the top of the show. I think I’m supposed to be all shocked and awed or something, but really I’m just glad that Ryan held back.

If the AI tour comes to Boise, I’m in.

BTW, I predicted *Sigh*esha to go home, but today I may have changed my mind. I’m on the fence between her and Brooke. Either way, I think those two are the bottom two tonight. And Syesha can go on and become a big Broadway star; she’ll be great there.

Sir ALW is sitting on the stage for a chit chat with Ryan. Sir ALW says he really felt for Brooke, because even the best lose their way sometimes, including the judges a few times last night, and that in the dress rehearsal Brooke was flawless. He also says that he doesn’t think Jason would have listened to him no matter what (it’s hard to listen when you’re so cute and high — Frank has a hard time listening to me, and he’s only one of those two). And Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber is just precious. He is. What a personality. I hope he comes back every year.

Increasingly Decent Ford Commercial: “Tainted Love.” Pretty cool.

Wow. Idol Gives Back brought in more than $65 million, say President and Mrs. Bush.

The Davids are out first. These will be your finalists this year (blerg on the little one). Simon gets called on to answer a question and is caught “eating a sweet.” The Davids are safe. The cameras pan to the audience, and we see the caption “David’s family and friends.” Which David? We then see the other David’s family, but we don’t know which is which.

All the long-haired peeps are still backstage.

Hancock looks like teh total awesome. Awww. It comes out on July 2nd. I heart that date.

Tamyra Gray is in Rent, Clay Aiken is in Spamalot (!!). Lakisha Jones was in The Color Purple, as was Fantasia. I guess American Idol is the farm team for Broadway these days.

Leona Lewis, a Simon Cowell discovery, is out to sing “Bleeding Love.” Ryan says they play it every half hour on the radio, and I’ve never heard the song once. I love it. Love her voice. She has a lot of Celine mannerisms, so I’d prefer to just listen and not watch. Pauler is dancing.

*Sigh*esha and Brooke are out together. Brooke has looked for a couple of weeks like she just doesn’t even want to be here anymore. Ryan asks Syesha a question, and she says “like” about 500 times. Here’s where we learn that the Idol contestants really do read Snark Raving Mad (thank you, I appreciate y’all listening to my words of wisdom). Ryan asks why Brooke didn’t say much during the judging last night, and she says she knows that she tends to interrupt the judges a lot, so she just felt like she should let them speak. They’ve been reading me for a couple of years, and it still flatters me every time.

Whoa. Brooke is safe, and Syesha is in the bottom two. Now I’m officially freaked. out. No one I talked today thought Jason was good. Tracey is the only one who (somewhat) agreed with me on him.

I’m still trying to figure out whether David Cook wears a piece. Sometimes it looks like hair, sometimes not. It looks fine, and I don’t care. I’m just curious is all.

Carly looks confident. Jason looks freaked. “Jason. Paula liked how you put your own influence into it. Randy called it a trainwreck.” Jason makes the choo-choo whistle sign, and I crack up.

JASON IS SAFE! I just screamed. My life is sad. Carly and Syesha are the bottom two.

Simon says he’s not surprised Brooke is on the couch, because she made herself human last night. He says Jason wasn’t very good, but he was charming.

Carly performs again, and it’s better even than last night. Syesha’s performance is even more charming than last night, but the vocal isn’t as good. Still good. Ryan and Carly are deep in conversation during Syesha’s song.

Randy says it must be a bit of a popularity vote this week, because the performances were great. WhatEVS, Randy.

DUDE. Carly is out.

Can we stop celebrating the kids home this season already? What a beating, I hate this song so much.

Simon apologizes for giving Carly the kiss-of-death compliment last night. He tells her to be proud of herself, and she is.

And that’s that.
