Anoop, Lil leave on high notes
Lots of love to Lil and Anoop.
The two finalists headed home after Wednesday's results show. The double elimination was brought on after the judges used their special save last week to keep Matt Giraud in the contest.
It was fun watching Lil and Anoop this season, and I remain a fan of them both. I thought they showed some amazing talent and great attitudes throughout their run. So, I salute them.
Rounding out the bottom three, though, was teen rocker Allison Iraheta. Why America, why? The girl can sing and she's got originality and spunk. Plus, she has a crazy cool hair color. But seriously, Allison has been one of my favorite finalists because even at a young age, she steps onto that stage and comes off like a pro.
As for the rest of the results show, I appreciated the medley of disco hits to cap off this week's disco theme. Also, little David Archuleta came back to perform. Looks like Archie is making quite a name for himself in the music biz and appears to still be a sweet guy.
OK, so now we are down to the fabulous five on "Idol." They are: Allison, Kris Allen, Adam Lambert, Danny Gokey and Matt Giraud. So, start exercising those fingers now because there is more texting and phoning to be done.

I think it's going to be Adam all the way. He's just so much versatility. If not all the way, then top 2.
I missed Tuesday night's show, but in recaps, I thought Anoop was the weakest. But it's interesting that the judges were able to save Matt for the top 5!
