First singer down...

***An important note before you read any farther...if you haven't watched the kick off show and want to vote...we can use the honor method and go vote***

We had a great time tonight...we missed all of you who couldn't come...better plan ahead...the finale will be in about 12 weeks on a Wednesday night...don't miss out!

On with the show...

No opening lip sync by our top 12...THANK GOODNESS!

Unfortunately, that meant A LOT of kill time yappin' with the contestants...seriously Fox, let's make this show 30 minutes!

Guest singers for tonight...David Cook and Kesha...some chic who sang 2 songs and felt the need to dawn a headdress for the second song....should be interesting to see the backlash of that.

And your bottom 3:

Paige...Tim...Lacey

Tim was sent safely to his seat first...

First loser of the night...

Lacey

Oh...and of course we have the silly judges save where the contestant signs and the judges pretend to deliberate only to say...yeah...you suck...you're still getting the boot.
