American Idol 8 Says Farewell To Michael Sarver
Its time to eliminate another one from the Top 10 of American Idol seasin 8. Whose going to leave their dreams behind and whose still on? Ryan Seacrest announced that more than 36 million votes came in – the highest number of votes they have ever received for a Top Ten group in the history of Idol! Season Two winner Reuben Studdard is there to perform, and there will be a duet with Joss Stone and Smokey Robinson in honor of Motown week! The judges were introduces and reminded that they can still exercise the option to save someone who has been voted off tonight.
Show opener tonight is no other than Reuben Studdard, American Idol winner singing his latest single, Together. Dressed in a dashing black suit with white piping trim, a bearded and bald Reuben belts out his tune live much to the delight of the studio audience. After the song, Ryan announces that congratulations are in order – Reuben was recently married!
It’s been an exciting week for the contestants on American Idol, as they were flown by private jet to Detroit to visit Hitsville. Down to business, Ryan Seacrest says it’s time to pull out the bottom three. He asks Adam Lambert to stand up. After the nationwide vote – he’s safe! Matt Giraud is next in the spotlight – the judges all thought he had a solid performance – but America disagreed – he’s in the bottom three! The studio audience boos! Kris Allen is centered out by Ryan next. He builds the suspense, but then says that Kris is safe. Lil Rounds and Michael Sarver are both asked to stand up now. Lil is told she is safe, but Michael is in the bottom three.
Joss Stone and Smokey Robinson take the stage on American Idol to sing their duet, You’re the One For Me. Joss is wearing a floor-length, flowy blue dress, and Smokey is in a debonair black suit. After the song, Ryan says that someone else will have to join Michael and Matt in the bottom three.
Ryan Seacrest asks Allison Iraheta to stand up – last week she was in the bottom three on Idol, this week she is safe! Anoop Desai is called. America voted and Anoop is safe as well! Danny Gokey gets to his feet. Ryan says Simon called his performance clumsy and amateurish – but America disagrees with Simon – he’s okay! Scott and Megan are the last two contestants – one is in the bottom three. Simon predicted that Megan Joy might be in trouble – but it’s actually Scott McIntyre that is in the bottom three! Ryan asks Randy Jackson to say who does not deserve to be in the bottom tonight – Randy says Matt has been rockin’ the mic! Ryan sends one person back to safety, but it isn’t Matt – it’s Scott!
Ryan asks Simon Cowell what his thoughts are regarding the save tonight on Idol. Simon says that Michael and Matt are both there because the public doesn’t like them very much – and they’d have to see how the final performance was before deciding about the save. Ryan tells the bottom two that they’ll have to wait a bit longer to find out – he then introduces Stevie Wonder to sing a Motown medley!
Back to Michael and Matt, Ryan asks for the lights to be dimmed. He says after the record-setting American Idol vote, the person with the lowest number of votes is Michael Sarver – Matt Giraud is safe! Michael has to sing again for an opportunity to have the judges save him from elimination. As he sings his heart out, the judges confer. Ryan asks Simon what the verdict is – Simon says they haven’t decided yet, but after a few moments, Simon decides that he will make the decision (which must be unanimous). He says he is sorry, but Michael is going home.
