It's results night again - by the end of tonight we will be down to the final 3. Last night I said that Katharine would go, this is because she had the worst night - but now it really comes down to how many fans each contestant has. So we will just have to wait and see.


So we've had the Elvis medley let's just get on with the results now.


Ryan has them all on stage Taylor & Elliott on one side, Chris and Katharine on the other - one pair are the highest one pair are the lowest. God another break - how many breaks can you take in 30 mins????


Taylor and Elliott are safe


Katharine is safe CHRIS is going home NO WAY what the hell happened.


WOW Katharine was way worse than Chris last night - Well I didn't see that coming!!!!

The final four sing tonight on American Idol Series 5. Tonight they are going to sing Elvis Presley songs and music guru Tommy Motola will be there to give his opinion of them.


Taylor Hicks
Singing - Jailhouse Rock

Well The Silver Fox is enjoying this - doing his dance moves and everything. Randy says he was in his element - way to start the show. Paula say phenominal. Simon says in the real world it was a terrible impersonation of Elvis and the dancing was hideous - karaoke with a capital K.


Chris Daughtry
Singing - suspicious minds

This is my hubby's party piece - now do I tell him Chris is doing a better job or not!!!! Randy says dosen't think it was the best vocal performance from him. Paula says see you in the finals. Simon says That Worked.


Elliott Yamin
Singing - If I could dream

Don't know this song - to me it was a shakey start but better at the end, well I think so anyway. Randy says he laid it out - it was hot. Paula says best vocal performance from him. Simon says he came in tonight as the underdog but that was the best performance so far tonight. Shows what I know hey!!


Katharine McPhee
Singing - Hound Dog

Don't really know what to think about this - it's sounds a bit of a mess to me. Randy says it was fun but she missed a lyric. Paula says it was fun. Simon says it looked like a manic audition - for him it wasn't a great performance.


Taylor Hicks
Singing - In the Ghetto

Very restrained, very soulful, very good. Randy says Right key, right song he should make this a record - that was hot. Paula says it shows a whole new side to him. Simon says perfect song - he has just sung his way into the semi-final.


Chris Daughtry
Singing - Little less conversation

Chris just looks like this is no effort for him - maybe needs a bit more personality - oops there it is at the end. Randy says right key for him it was hot. Paula says she adores him. Simon says up until the end it was a bit flat.


Elliott Yamin
Singing - Trouble

Elliott's had a good night tonight - I like this better than his first one. Randy says it was his best performance ever. Paula says she's changed her mind THIS was the best performance ever. Simon says he's come out fighting and he deserves to go through to the next round.


Katharine McPhee
Singing - Can't help falling in love

This is better than the first one - don't know if it's enough to save her though - she's struggling against the band. Randy says Better than the first and a bit pitchy. Paula says she has a lovely voice. Simon says not one of her best nights - it was too over the top.


Well tonight I thought the boys outsang Katharine, she could be in trouble.


If it goes on performance I think Katharine will go tomorrow.

It's the results show the five contestants will become 4 tonight. Last night everyone had an iffy moment, Katharine's first song was bad, Elliott first was also not good, Taylor's was a bit over the top, Chris's voice was raw in parts on the second song and Paris just sounded the same over the two songs.


I said that I thought Elliott and Paris would be in the final 2 and that Paris would go home - so we will soon if I am right or not.


45.5 million votes last night.


Taylor "The Silver Fox" Hicks is safe


Chris Daughtry is safe


Paris Bennett is NOT safe


Elliott Yamin is NOT safe


Katharine McPhee is safe


Paris and Elliott are the bottom two - I said that they would be, now lets see if I called it right with Paris going home.


Elliott is safe - Paris is going home. Well hell I called it right again!!

The final five on American Idol Series 5 get to sing 2 songs tonight. One from the year they where born and then one from the current hit list. I really hope we have a good week this week - the contestants really need to step up now and show how good they are.


I wonder if Ryan and Paula manage to speak to each other? Or if Paula will break down in tears tonight? Or if Simon will be allowed to finish a sentence without Ryan or Paula shouting over him?


First up they are singing songs from the year they where born


Elliott Yamin
Singing - Broadway by George Benson

I hate to say it but I don't really like this - sounds nervous. Randy says it started rough but he got it in the middle. Paula agrees with Randy but says he has a rich voice. Simon says it was not his best performance and he is lucky he has 2 songs tonight.


Paris Bennett
Singing - Kiss by Prince

It's a hard song to do, but she has the confidence for it and I think she is doing a good job (but I still don't like her). Randy says nice to see her having fun he liked it. Paula says she like her to sings song from the past eras. Simon says screechy and annoying!


Chris Daughtry
Singing - Renegade by Styx?

Go Chris go - this is what he should be singing. No surprise that I really like this. Randy says he's a real hot one. Paula says outstanding. Simon says million times better that the first two performances. Good song choice.


Katharine McPhee
Singing - Take a look at me now by Phil Collins

This is such a hard song to sing and I think it may be too hard for her. Nope I don't like this. Randy says looks amazing but the song was not in the right key. Paula says not her favourite performance from her. Simon says in parts it was a mess and not her best performance.


Tayor "The Silver Fox" Hicks
Singing - Play that funky music by KC and the sunshine Band?

Taylor really enjoys himself on stage - fun performance. Randy says wow wild choice of song. Paula says he dressed that party and had fun. Simon says for him like a horrible, horrible wedding performance.



OK round One definitely goes to Chris - no question. With Katharine and Elliott the worst.


Now they are going to sing a song from this weeks billboard charts.


Elliott Yamin

Singing - Home by Michael Buble
Tricky song I think Elliott is struggling a bit tonight, I'm finding this a bit boring. Randy says he liked seeing his tender side. Paula says we heard the richness of his voice. Simon says wrong lyrics for tonight saying "I want to go home", and he's a bit concerned for him.


Paris Bennett

Singing - Be without you by Mary J Blige
I don't know Paris is a tricky one - we all know she can sing and she has an amazing singing voice, but she dosen't do it for me. Randy says she has taken a big risk, all in all she rocked it, but a few pitch problems. Paula says hard to capture Mary's vibe and she had hoped that she would put her own spin on it. Simon says she did rather well with that.


Chris Daughtry

Singing - I dare you by Shinedown?
Another rock song for Chris - he knows what he should be singing and he does it well. Randy says not sue he loved it. Paula says she loves him. Simon says not a great song and he thought his voice was going to go midway and he needs to be carfull, but he had a great first song.


Katharine McPhee

Singing - Cherry Tree by KT Tunstall
Well it's better than her first song, but why is she on the floor?? Randy says that's better. Paula says she loved the intimacy of it. Simon says stange show Taylors on the floor and she's on her knees!! He prefered that to the first song.


Tayor Hicks

Singing - Something by Beatles
I really like this song and I think he's doing an ok job of it, after his first performance it's good to remind everyone that he can sing as well. Randy says chose a great song. Paula says it was tender and not oversung. Simon says it's hard to remember within all his barmyness(!) that he's a very good singer.




So round two went to Taylor for me, with Elliott not so good.


So overall I think Chris was the best overall - my bottom 2 from tonight are Elliott and Paris, and I think Paris will go home even though her second song was ok!

It's results time on American Idol Series 5, the 6 will be down to 5. If the votes go on how the contestants sang last night then I think Kellie should be going home, as the last few weeks she hasn't been very strong.


But it's getting harder to predict now as each contestant is getting a fan base, who will vote for them no matter what!! So we will just have to see what happens.


47.5 million votes last night - the highest non-final vote!!


Simon has just apologised to Katharine - saying he was too harsh last night, when he watched it back he was wrong!!!! Yeah you see I thought she was ok last night and now they agree with me - ha ha ha.


Ok now we're going to have Andrea Bottcielli singing, he's got a great voice (don't like the song though - I know, I know i'm a philistine!!!!).


Here we go results......


Ryan is putting them in three groups of 2


Katharine goes in group 1


Elliott goes in group 2


Kellie goes in group 3


Paris goes in group 3


Taylor goes in group 2


Chris goes in group 1


Group 2 are safe Elliott and Taylor get to sit down (go The Silver Fox)
Group 1 are safe Katharine and Chris are safe yeeah


Bottom 2 are Paris and Kellie - Kellie is going home, Paris is safe.


Oh my god I got it right again!!!
