American Idol S05E39 - Top 3 Results

3... 2! yay!

Ace AND Kellie are in da house! (Yes, I'll be writing properly from now on...)

More than 50 million votes were cast. 50 million!

Does anyone else notice how Simon's always giving instructions to the other two? It's like, he tells them if the songs were good or not, and when to talk, and all. Wierd.

Recap.

FORD! "Young at Heart" by someone. Did they really think a RAPPING Ford commercial was a good idea? Ryan wasn't aware Simon was having a party. LOL!

Ryan makes us fel bad for the Top 3. Hugh Jackman and Rebecca Romijn met them, and they had a surprise for them! It's a DVD of the new X-Men movie! Cool for them!

Taylor was excited to go back because he ate a lot, including ribs and pancakes for breakfast. LOL. So we see his return home, to the tune of "Soul Man". He ALSO went to the Rick and Bubba show. And he was on TV, and not on Idol. He performed with his band. And then he was in a parade. Lame... "We are... Soul Patrol... We are... Soul Patrol...". Sounds like a robotic brainwashed drone for me. He got the key to the city. He goes to the city he went to high school in, to a shopping center FILLED with people. He plays with his band, again. And he plays guitar/bass! Then he meets the governor. And he gets a day. And Taylor inductes the governor and his wife to the Soul Patrol. Ha. He sings "Takin' It to the Streets", from the shamelessly plugged Encores CD! And Kat and Elliot dance behind him! LOL!

Kat's 10 minute drive back home was ardous, and we see her return home. She gets on Good Day LA. Then, to the radio! It's the KROQ Kevin and Bean Show! Then KISS FM. Then a chopper ride. She returns to her high school, Notre Dame HS. The mayor of LA's there, and gives Kat her own day. And she sings. A lot of eople hug her. She gets a drive around the block to her parents' house, and her dogs! She's got a goddaughter! She's a godmother! She's got an ofer you can't refuse! PLEASE, get that last one... She doesn't really talk with her family. She sings "Think".

Gavin DeGraw's in da house. Next is Elliot, he felt like a king, and we see his admittedly longer trip home than Kat's, to Richmond, VA. And he too got a day. He gets on a radio show, like everyone. He goes back to his old job place, the pharmecy. Next, he's going to jam out to some music. People got on rooftops to see him! WOW! He and his mom meet the governor. Virgina is for Elliot Lovers, apparently. He gets to throw the first pitch, in a MLB game, i think. And unlike Ryan, he doesn't completely suck at it. He's crying. Paula's crying. Others're crying. He sings "Moody's Mood for Love". Paula's high as a kite.

We get a reminder of what AI has done for those that won. 90 number 1 hits, 29 gold and platinum albums, and more than 33 million copies sold. And, of course, Clive Davis is the one that was behind it all. And he's here. And he gets a standing ovation. He gets a plaque for the 33 million sales. He gives a speech. He talks REALLY slowly. Kelly's first sold 3 million, her second 10, even in countries that are Idol-less, and she won 2 grammys. Ruben and Clay got number 1s and sold some millions. Fantasia sold 2 million albums, and got 4 Grammy nominations. Bo's album's on his way to platinum, and Carrie's already sold 3 million albums. DAMN. He's thankful to AI and the important guys there.

We get some numbers: 33.06%, 33.26% and 33.68%. But what does that mean??? That's the break down of the votes recieved for tonight's show. And the lowest number goes to... Elliot... He's outta here. Paula's almost crying. Almost. So the finale will be Tay v Kat. Ryan congratulates him for getting this far. Elliot's grateful for the opportunity. We see his journey on Idol. And he too gets the crappy version of "Bad Day". NOW Paula's crying. He sings "I Believe to My Soul".
