American Idol: First Semi-Final Results Show!

AI is finally getting good!  Read the full recap of the Group One Semi-Final Results Show.  Excerpt:

Tonight on Fox is the American Idol Results Show of the first semi-finals.  Ryan asks how the judges felt about last night’s performance overall.  Randy gives some vague commentary, saying that it was good with some disappointments.  OBVIOUSLY.  Kara (who is wearing a really ugly suit jacket) actually names names:  Stevie, Casey, Stephen.

Per usual, there are some strange sexual tension jokes about Simon and the other judges.  This is getting TOO weird and I only think it will get worse as the season goes on.  The awkwardness is broken up by…

…THE corniest group performance I’ve ever seen on AI.  They split into trios and sing Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours”, which is fine around a campfire in Hawaii, but not on a national television show with frickin lasers in the background.  The worst trio is Ann Marie, Casey and Tatiana, who don’t even attempt to harmonize with each other and sound like three girls singing at a high school assembly.  The group performance only gets worse when they do the classic Idol guy-girl pair off, segues into choreography that involves shimmying.  However, it gets better at the end when they sing together as a group without too many bells and whistles.

Now we see a montage of last night’s performances.  We get to watch Jackie Tohn in her crazy spandex leggings again, and Braddy in his male wedding planner outfit.  We see clips of the younger performers who cracked under the pressure (Stevie and Casey performances look even worse than I remember when shown as 10 second clips).  In comparison, Tatiana looked pretty good!  But freaking ANOOP!!!!!!!!!!!  I love this guy!  Next, we see Ann Marie and Alexis singing Aretha Franklin back to back, and they had some pretty great moments (though I still strongly disagree with the comparison of Alexis to Kelly Clarkson).  And finally, Danny was the shizz!!!!!!!!
