It's a historic night on "American Idol" tonight as the Top 7 suffers a double whammy tonight to cut the field down to five.
And it's also the return of David Archuleta to the Idol stage! Woohoo!
You know the drill by now: If you want to get the scoop on the results before it airs in the West, click through on the "continue reading" link when it shows up below.
"This ... is 'American Idol.'"
9:02 p.m. ET: A vignette on preparing the Idols for the group performance, with Paula Abdul doing the choreography! She's makin' 'em work up a sweat!
9:04 p.m.: Here's the group performance: They're dancing -- and lip-synching -- to "Shake Your Body Down To The Ground." They don't even have microphones this time. Look at the Top 7 groove out! Fun stuff. A little too much Paula worshiping going on though.
9:12 p.m.: Every time Ryan mentions David Archuleta the screams begin anew from the mosh pit. And then the Ford video is shown.
9:14 p.m.: Ryan says it's time to get to the results. Ryan asks Lil Rounds to stand up first. Then he sends her to stage. I was expecting some king of group set-up but instead Ryan comes right out with it. Lil Rounds is sent home. She's singing her song again, but without quite the same amount of energy she had last night. Paula says she sang it better. Oh well.
9:21 p.m.: Time for the disco guest performances. First up is Freda Payne, with "Band of Gold." Classy.
9:24 p.m.: Next up is Thelma Houston signing "Don't Leave Me this Way." Now this song I remember.
9:28 p.m.: And now the moment we've been waiting for: Harry Wayne "KC" Casey (of KC and the Sunshine Band) sings "Get Down Tonight." Getting older is sometimes not a pretty thing. But it happens to all of us. His voice is straining. A nice salute to a legend though.
9:34 p.m.: Kris Allen is asked to stand up. Ryan says Kris is safe.
9:35 p.m.: Adam Lambert is next (cue roar from crowd). Adam is safe.
9:36 p.m.: Danny Gokey is next. After a bit of a grumpy exchange between Ryan and Simon about what "clumsy" means, Danny is safe.
9:39 p.m.: Anoop Desai stands up. Ryan sends Anoop to the stools of doom, the bottom three.
9:40 p.m.: Allison Iraheta and Matt Giraud stand up together. Matt is safe in a shocker! Allison goes over to the stools of doom. So it's the end of the road for either Anoop or Allison. Wouldn't it be a shocker if it was Allison?
9:45 p.m.: Season 7 runner-up David Archuleta returns to the Idol stage to sing his new single, "Touch My Hand." Although he didn't write this song, the concept was his idea. On his recent solo tour it was the opening song of his show. His voice sounds deeper than last year! I think he may still be suffering the effects of a cold he had recently -- His voice wasn't quite as sharp as when I saw him last month in Reno. It was a nice touch to have him give advice to Anoop and Allison after his performance.
9:52 p.m.: Time for the moment of truth. No shocker tonight: Anoop is sent home. Anoop reprises "Dim All The Lights" as his swan song.
So were you happy with the results tonight?
