I hope you don't mind OR: Every week should be Elton week.

Ryan has really subdued hair and a bad suit tonight. Woof. Blah blah, more discussion about the SAVE, two people have to go tomorrow. Tonight the top 11 will be performing the music of Sir Elton John. So I'm really hoping for an entertaining evening and not one chock full of ballads. I can't remember the last time his music was the theme. Season Two? When Camille Velasco sang that awful rendition of "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road"? Shudder.

We are at 8:07 and NO ONE has performed. This is seriously why I hate this show sometimes. Why do we need footage of the contestants' makeovers or whatever this was? #oldladyvote is up first. Kiss of death, the first slot is usually. His hair looks way better in the photo shoot footage. Of course, he finds the only "country" song that Elton John ever made. I didn't think such a thing existed. The song is called "Country Comfort." Never heard of it. He's playing guitar tonight. I mean, if you're into this type of music, I can totally see how Scotty would be your cup of tea. But he's just....not mine. Like I said before, I won't say he sucks, because he doesn't at all. Brenna called him making the top 5, and I can totally see that happening.

Of course, Naima is going to put a "reggae twist" on her song. She's so weird. I think Naima is beautiful, her ace is gorgeous, but she's bizarre. She's singing "I'm Still Standing", in reggae style, apparently. This is probably going to suck a little bit, yes? I can honestly say that in the billion years Idol has been around, this is DEFINITELY a first. Her outfit is bringing the crazy again. White suit with black pinstrips and a halter top with random rainbow stripes all over the pants. I am not into this. Neither is Jennifer. Or Randy. Probably Steven liked it though, cause he's all high and shit.

Taio Cruz is here to promote...something. LIKE IT'S DYNAMITE. Oh man, Paul has busted out his goofy floral suit. Well, I guess tonight of all nights it's appropriate. Brenna got all indignant because I pointed out that the good people at Television Without Pity said that Paul is a Bradley Cooper lookalike, who Brenna finds hot and I do not. LOL. Paul's singing "Rocket Man" which I think is actually a good choice for him. I'll just come out and say it, because it's been brewing...I am a Paul fan. I think he has a cool voice and he's weird and has pretty teeth. He won't win but I enjoy him.

Up next is Pia. Pleasedon'tsingaballadpleasedon'tsingaballadpleasepleaseplease. She is so freaking gorgeous. Okay, it's a ballad, but it's "Don't Let The Sun Go Down on Me" which is an awesome, awesome song and reminds me of the time Clay sang it and it was fabulous and epic and I'm totally running on this sentence because I'm so pumped about this song. She better work the shit out of it is all I'm saying. Wow, CHEESY backdrop, show. The sun setting...get it? Rolling eyes. Ooh she gets gospel choir treatment. Her voice is amazing and this is awesome. She'll probably get lectured for doing another ballad, though.

Stefano is after the break. I'm still mad at him for doing Cookster's jam last week, but I'm slowly forgiving. During the makeover they put him in super tight pants. LOL. Oooh, he's singing that song Elton John sang for that guy on Who's the Boss! "Hold me close young Tony Daaaaaanza!" Or, "Tiny Dancer." Awesome, I love this song. Don't mess it up, dude. I feel like Stefano has more teeth than a normal person. Is that just me? Yes? I don't really love this. It's just okay. Sorry Stefano. He's beng kind of cheesy and I feel like he hit some clunker notes.

Next we have Lauren. Her makeover dress is super cute. She picked "Candle in the Wind" to sing this week. Interesting choice for her, I wouldn't have picked this one. She starts off a little rough I think and maybe was ahead of the piano for a second but she gets it back. She sounds like that girl from the Dixie Chicks a little bit. She's really great, sounds awesome, looks gorgeous. She had the whole package here tonight, go Lauren. Steven makes really terrible jokes. God.

I was going to go to bed and finish the rest of this in the morning, but James is on after the break, so I'll watch him at least. Cause then who's left? Thia, Casey, Haley and Jacob and the only one I'm curious to see out of that group is Jacob. Wonder who gets the pimp spot? I think Casey and Jacob already both had it. Anyway...James. Doing "Saturday Night's All Right." EXCELLENT choice for James, I think. He's doing great, this is so fun. I love this song. Woo James! Jennifer says exactly what I'm thinking--that you forget you're watching a competition show when he's on.

Thia's up next, singing "Daniel." I am over Thia. Did you know she's the youngest contestant this season? I had NO idea. Why haven't they mentioned that? We get on Pia for the ballads, but I think the only up tempo song Thia's done was her disastrous foray into "Heat Wave" last week, and that's not even all that much fun. BORED. With the fact that two people are going this week, I think we have a good shot at ditching Thia. She's a pretty girl and does have a lovely voice, but I'm done with her.

After the break, we have Casey doing "Your Song" which is my favorite, favorite Elton John song. Dammit Casey, and just when I was ready to move past you. I hope he sings it normally and not all scary and weird like he's been the past few weeks. And he's getting a haircut and hopefully a shave?? Thank God. Wow, the set looks amazing for this. See, this is beautiful. I LOVE this. Gorgeous. I hope Casey's figured out that he doesn't have to act all wackadoodle and growly and shit. His eyes are too close together, though.

Jacob's up next, which means Haley's in the pimp spot. Interesting. Jacob is kind of growing on me. He just puts it all out there and I'm starting to love it. He's doing "Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word" which I think some other contestants have done but I don't feel like looking it up. Oooh, Jacob gets FOG tonight. LMAO. Bren, remember when Archuleta rose out of the stage in a pile of fog at the concert? I mean, I can't really say anything about it. It's a standard Jacob performance, his voice is on point, he's a little OTT. What more can you ask for?

We're closing out the show with Haley, who admittedly, I have not been the biggest fan. Wow, she looks awesome after her makeover. Her hair is really pretty. AAAAAAND she's doing "Benny and the Jets." I'm intrigued now. She starts out sitting on the piano, which is a little weird. That's my thing with Haley I think. Her voice is interesting and she's mostly good, but her body stuff is awkward. Like last week when she was coming down the stairs and trying to dance and shit. She sounds great on this song though. Amazing way to end the show.

So I have to say, tonight was mostly good! Maybe every week should be Elton week. Awesome performances by James, Haley, Casey and Pia. Lauren and Paul and Jacob were good too. Everyone else didn't suck, either, they just aren't my favorites, haha. Well except Naima....waaaah waaah. I predict she, Thia and probably Stefano are B3. Probably Naima will go home. We'll see. Brenna has your results on Thursday night with performances by will.i.am, Jamie Foxx and Fantasia.
