| Anthony Gets Carried Away! (Final 4 Results Show) |
| Results shows are getting kind of cosy now. There's only one sofa, occupied by Vonzell, Anthony, Carrie and Bo... and one will go! |
| Ryan reminds us that the contest began with 100,000 applicants. Hopefully that thought will lend some perspective to tonight's evictee. To leave after beating out 99,996 contestants is not to lose! |
| Tonight's group song keeps up with yesterday's country theme. It's 'Island's In The Stream' which was a hit for Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers. It's not a bad effort, but last week's Bridge Over Troubled Water keeps no. 1 spot in our 'group idol' charts. |
| After the usual performance recaps we are treated to another zany Ford promo. They say being on Idol is like riding an emotional rollercoaster, this promo proves it! It's a Ford rollercoaster which is also a hair-roller coaster, because the Idol locks get bent into all kinds of interesting shapes. The Ford promo team have delivered again, it's really funny to watch. |
We're in for a 'surprise' tonight, but first we have a few treats... The treats are that we get a look back at each of the 4 finalists original audition. For Anthony, Carrie and Vonzell it's a reminder of how we first met them. However we never did see Bo's original Florida audition, so it is intriguing to see it now for the first time. Bo sang 'Whipping Post', a song which he would subsequently sing to panel acclaim during his second semifinal stint. Simon Cowell thought Bo's audition was 'brilliant'. |
It's time to get down to business. Ryan has exclusive Marquis Jet Cards for 3 contestants only. The lucky 3 will be flown back to spend time with their family in their home communities before being jetted back in time for the final 3 show next Tuesday. Last year Fantasia, Diana Degarmo and Jasmine Trias made similar visits last season. ...The 4th Idol of course will endure a different journey, a one-way coach ticket home. |
| After another break Ryan reveals who will be given those precious Marquis cards. Bo, then Carrie are asked to sit down, they are safe. The dreaded bottom spot is contested by Anthony and Vonzell. |
| Vonzell also is asked to sit down... she is safe too! |
So, it is Anthony Fedorov who leaves American Idol tonight! It's kind of ironic, because Anthony's performance last night of "If You Don't Know Me By Now" was his season's best, and the best out of all the Idols on the night! Looking at it another way, it's nice to leave on a high, and Anthony, (Anatoliy) Fedorov definitely does that. After watching his 'Idol Journey' on the big screen he closes out the show with a repeat performance of that same Harold Melvyn & The Blue Notes number. The distractions of the moment cause Anthony to falter slightly at the start of the reprise number, but he soon catches the emotion of the song. Carrie Underwood is also catching that emotion. She's shown on the big screen bawling her eyes out, and then unexpectedly and unmistakeably mouthing the words 'I Love You' to Anthony. It's moment that is bound to keep the Idol boards buzzing later tonight! Taking into account reports that Anthony and Carrie are in relationships already, it's most probable that her declaration is of a kinship rather than a romantic nature! |
After 3 weeks of semifinals and 7 weeks of finals we certainly feel like we 'are' getting to 'know him by now', and we shall certainly miss him! Bye for now Anthony, and good luck! |
