American Idol - Fox TV Show
Season 7
The Final 5 Show!
04-29-08 Our Take
Song Theme For The Night Was:
 "Music Of Neil Diamond"!
  
 
Last Night it was the 'Final 5' who performed on the New Stage in a 1 Hour show! As usual there will be only 2 Nights of American Idol this week... with Tuesday Night the Performance Night, and then Results Night Show on Wednesday!
Here are our AVERAGED 'scores' of BOTH songs performed by each 'idol', (based on 1-10, 10 being highest), with the 4th column showing the difference between Michael's score and Tina's score. The 'contestants' are listed in order of performance appearance during the night, NOT by numerical score:
The 'Final 5'

General Show Notes:
Neil Diamond was the 'mentor' this week. Probably because he has his 26th studio album being released early in May 2008...  Michael thought the whole show was toooo rushed - too quick on the 'mentoring scenes' - too 'jumpy' between acts, etc.  Too much crammed into too little time and then changing the announced judging sequence!
Now for the comments on the performances from Tina and Michael!
Tina's comments:  Tina had it with Brooke last week, but thought her second song was the best performance of the night! However Brooke tied with Syesha on performance average points, so Tina only voted for David Cook. Jason should be the one to go home...
Michael's comments:  Michael thought the whole show was 'choppy', as mentioned in the general notes.  This show was definitely 'off' in execution of timing.  Regarding the slip up on Paula's part on judging the first round of perfomances... well, you had to be there to understand. And even if you there you probably didn't get it either! If you weren't there or still don't understand what happened via watching 'live' on TV...  check out the videos on the web as to what/how she said what she said!  Oh, and BTW, Brooke's 2nd song brought tears to Michael's eyes...
What we normally do this far into the process is to vote for the highest one or two contestants per the score we gave them. 
Michael voted for Brooke White (8.0) pictured above, while Tina voted for David Cook (8.375). As you can tell the night was rather mediocre for a 'Final 5' Show...
Michael thinks that Jason should go home based on his performances last night and for the YTD performances, while Tina thinks that Jason should also go home based on the YTD (year to date) performances when choosing from the Final 5! 
Due to space limitations on the eBay Blog format that we first post in, we only have so much room to blog here...
For those that missed our previous blog posts on this TV Show.... Please see the following link for our previous blog post. We have been blogging about Season 7 since the first week when the auditions were shown:
