Yes that's right can you believe it Top 4! which meant sadly that the competition had to end for one hopeful which was Kalamazoo native Matt Giraud , the 23 year old known for his bluesy vibe and dueling piano player skills , was eliminated after his performance of "My Funny Valentine", but even though the show is over for Matt he was the first contestant in Idol History to ever be used for the Judges Save where Kara told him " Saving you was the best choice we made " after he was eliminated . Matt also had great performances like "Let's Get It On" & "Part Time Lovers" and was always a great guy to be around and so funny and every time I see a fedora or Justin Timberlake I will think of you we will miss you Matt and look forward to what great things in store for your future:) Tonight we also saw as the then Top 5 prepare Birthday cakes for Allison(17) and Danny (29) , and then throw the ingredients at each other I love how they all get along , also were performances by the incomparable Natalie Cole who looked better than ever singing her song "Somethings Gotta Give" , and a performance from last nights mentor Jamie Foxx who didn't as much sing his song "Blame It"as he did blurt out words every couple seconds or so , I sware the crowd sung more than he did . The Top 4 now consists of Danny , Allison , Kris and Adam voting is more important than ever now don't let your favorite leave next week is Rock' N' Roll' (funny it was the same theme for last year's Top 4) and we have Slash for the Results show next week so that should also get you to tune in , and you know where to catch it Tuesday 8/7c & Wednesday 9/8c only on FOX!
The Idol Top 5 went back to The Rat Pack days for this weeks performances here are the standouts. First up was the adorable Kris who kind looked like a lil Ryan clone in his suit. Allen sang "The Way You Look Tonight" which is one of my favorite songs he sang it so well and it was very sweet Randy called it his best performance to date and even mentor Jamie Foxx told him " I'm ready to make a record with you . Simon brought some gloom telling Kris " it was kind of like walking a well trained Spaniel it is going to do well and it was nice but I don't know if u showed u can win this competition ". All I can hope is he makes it through this weekit really was a nice performance. Next up was the equally adorable Allison Iraheta who just recently celebrated her 17th birthday yesterday when everyone @ Idol gave her a lil surprise party after rehearsal. Anyway Allison sang "Somebody To Watch Over Me" which I honestly thought was one of her best performances it felt like she truly connected to the song and sang her heart out it was beautiful Kara praised her saying " you're not a one trick pony your not just some rocker chick... If that performance doesn't get you in the finals I don't know what will" Simon aka (the cloud of doom) questioned Allison's belief if she could win this competition in which she very politely said " Ya I think we all have that chance right now" he rebutted " Because I don't think you see that in yourself and you could be in trouble " I really hope shestays the show still needs some Girl Power. After Matt's performance of "My Funny Valentine" which I liked so much better in rehearsal and ended up being ok was Danny. Danny sang "Come Rain Or Come Shine" on which in my opinion started out like a wedding performance but then at the end he rocked it out with that total raspy voice of his I had to give him props. And last but far from least was Adam looked awesome in his white suit as he seductively glided down the staircase and sang Muse's version of the hit "Feelin' Good" he did a very contemporary version of the song and added those so unique Lambert qualities which make him so special. Adam had all 4 judges in a tizzy with joy Simon had probably the most interesting thing to say : " You know what I love about this competition is that some say that winning is everything... But every week you prove that your trying to win this competition... and that was one of your best entrances all season Ryan you are no longer allowed to use the stairs". So Adam pleased the judges and hopefully America tune in tomorrow to see who gets cut and who makes the Final 4 only 3 more weeks until the Finale! Natalie Cole @ Results Show tomorrow and Taylor Hicks @ 9 /8c only on FOX! Follow my Twitter updates for more news night everyone :)
After sitting through the ever grueling results which sadly sent Anoop Desai & Lil Rounds packing , and witnessing what was the first ever fully choreographed Group Performance headed by the sweetest judge of them all Paula Abdul , all the Idols did an amazing job for attempting at dance which is something they don't normally do , I still can't get over Kris in those sunglasses he looked so funny lol. There was even more excitement when the lovable David Archuleta returned to the stage to perform his new single "Touch My Hand" it was truly awesome I didn't want the feeling to end :) Enjoy
Check out Ashleys new video for her new breakup anthem co-starring 90210 hunk Adam Gregory as her cheating boyfriend, and pick up her album June 6th :) IT'S ALRIGHT, IT'S OK official music video
The remaining 7 Idols which was the same number of contestants as last week since they saved Matt Giraud last week , worked hard into the night Monday rehearsing their songs and choreography with Michael Orland and Idol's sweetest Judge Paula Abdul on this weeks Disco theme here's how the night went down. First up was Lil who did another disappointing performance on what could've been amazing from her ,but she just didn't make it her own receiving little praise from the four judges. But then it was Kris who surprised many with his song choice of Donna Summer's "She Works Hard For The Money , which is about to quote Ryan Seacrest "a woman with a strong worth ethic" , Kris did awesome he totally changed thearrangement and made to his R&B alternative vibe which he does so well Kara said of the performance "I could like hear that on your album" Simon also praised Allen saying "You were able to do the complete opposite of the previous performance (Lil) it was original and unique and I loved it" . Allison was up next with another Donna Summers hit "Hot Stuff" ( all the Donna Summers songs brought me back to last years finale with all of girls ahh good times) anyway I wasn't a big fan of the arrangement slowing it down ,, but hey she can sing anything and the note she hit at the end wow! Randy seemed to agree with me pretty much saying the same "That I don't care how old you are you have one of the best voices in the competition" . Next up was Adam who I just have to say looked so adorable in his suit and tie and ironically him and I had our hair done the same way I promise I didn't plan it. Lambert sang "If I Can't Have You" From the Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack he had totally slowed down the tempo of the song andyou could feel the raw emotion in his voice much like in "Tracks Of My Tears" but with a bit more vigor , the performance brought Paula to tears telling Adam " I could feel the pain that you were singing as if you ripped out you heart on the stage " In other words she loved it also predicting to see him in the finals (fingers crossed:) Randy and Kara both championed the performance as one of the best and Simon remarked "It was one you will remember" good job Adam" .Also I have to give props to Danny for his rendition of Earth Wind And Fires "September" which was very entertaining and suited his voice well . Matt also tried to prove himself after the now Idol History Judges Save , singing The BeeGees "Staying Alive" which was pretty good in my opinion he kind of sounded like Justin Timberlake and Stevie Wonder I though , but what do I know all the judges except Paula weren't feeling it , but Abdul told him " I think you made it to stay alive in this competition". So did Kris "work hard enough to stay " did Allison " show enough of her stuff to keep her dream alive" , and Adam " If I can't have you in the competition I don't know what I'll do ". Tune in tomorrow @ 9/8c only on FOX for a double elimination :( and David Archuleta who'll perform "Touch My Hand " I'm soooooooooooexcited :)!!!

The remaining Top 7 hopefuls took on the iconic songs of the cinema with help from eccentric director Quentin Tarantino. First up was the baby of the competition , Allison who belted out Aerosmith's "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" from Armageddon she did an amazing performance having Paula giver her the credit she's been giving Adam saying she is original and doesn't compromise herself and she knows who she is as an artist Simon was in agreement saying she has come more into her own now and we could possibly see her in the finals which would be totally great:) Oh and I forgot to say FOX had the judges work in teams in order to prevent the show running overtime like last week . Anywho next up was Anoop who did Bryan Adam's 'Everything I Do' which was a very nice vocal , but was no comparison to my boy Adam who sang " Born To Be Wild" from Easy Rider his performance blew the roof off the place AMAZING! Like Tarantino said if you're looking for a rockstar he's the real deal it was awesome one of my fave performances of his, Paula told him " You dare to dance in greatness" and Simon said there is about half the audience who love it and the others will hate it Booh ! You rocked Adam :) . Next up was Matt who sang another Bryan Adams song " To Really Love A Woman"he started off strong ,but it was overall a shaky performance Kara reiterated that she still doesn't know who he is as an artist . I'm still a fan though last weeks performance of Part- Time Lovers was awesome . After Matty was Kris who I must just add is as cute a a freakin puppy I loved his song choice Glen Hansard's "Falling Slowly" from the movie Once which won an Oscar a few years ago I was a big fan of the song and the way he sang which was so raw and sweet and with those puppy dog eyes . Randy didn't feel the same though saying he didn't feel it, all the while shocking Christina Applegate who was sitting behind him with his remark, Kara was on the other side of the spectrum and told Kris she loved it as did I love ya Kris :) Tune in for results tomorrow with performances by Miley Cyrus and Jennifer Hudson @ 9 / 8 c only on FOX!

Miley On Her Fave Actors:
You’ve seen him [Gerard Butler] in P.S. I Love You, right? My favorite. I bawled my eyes out. She [Scarlett Johansson] is, honestly, the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen. I went to He’s Just Not That into You with Justin [Gaston], and I was covering his eyes.”
Miley Gets Deep On Love At First Sight:
I believe in love at first sight. It just hasn’t happened to me. I walked right by him [Justin, the first time she saw him]. Love doesn’t come from attraction, but from somewhere deeper. [Justin] is my best friend.”

Congratulations Carrie we love you and we look forward to everything you do in your career you are a wonderful and sweet person and you deserve it all :)
Ms. Tisdale dropped by the MTV Buzzworthy office when she was in New York last week finishing up things on her upcoming album , and while there she answered some questions for all her devoted fans , on things like boy advice her album and the ever so popular Twilight Series .Ashley went on on how she was inspired for her sophomore album saying: The inspiration was really songs that I could connect to. On the first album was everything that I’d experienced [so far]. [On this album] it wasn’t what I’d experienced, but stuff I could connect to. For example, ‘How Do You Love Someone’ is about a broken family and how this girl grew up never really feeling loved and she’s questioning if she can love someone having such a messed up past. I have a really great family that are very loving, but I connected to it in a way that it’s a strong survival song.”This album will be a little more emotional than her first , but it shows she can grow as an artist, we love you Ash:) Be sure to pick up a copy of Ashley's Album Guilty Pleasure when it drops June 16th and look for her new movie They Came From Upstairs releasing November 30th and be sure to check back here for updates on that:)

Yes I'm sorry to say Megan Joy Corkrey , the 23 year old from Sandy, Utah was booted from tonight's show after her performance of Bob Marley's "Turn Your Lights Down Low" in which all four judges didn't have any good comments are in turn not surprising when Megan was subjected to their judge evaluation Simon very bluntly put it saying they would not bring her back next week , before even performing her song , though the teary eyed blonde did perform after all was said and done ,but it was a bittersweet moment for her and we hope for great things to come from her:) The night wasn't all tears though it was pretty funny with some of the contestants giving you a glimpse on just how hectic their day to day week is and that some of them do impressions of each other like Matt doing Danny and vice versa, Allison doing Danny and Anoop doing Kris' signature style , Ryan commented on their antics saying "You guys seem to be getting along better than any season's contestants" . The show also had some great performances like from our reigning Idol Mr. David Cook who serenaded the crowd with his new single "Come Back To Me" and we got some pretty good camera shots of his adorable drummer Kyle Peek:) after his performance Ryan presented David with a gift from 19 & RCA Records since his debut album had gone platinum David said of his good fortune " I released a solo album before Idol and it sold 1,000 copies in a year and now to have this one sell over a million copies in three months I can't thank you guys enough" Cookie even got a little teary when presented with such an honor saying " I always cry when I'm on this show" awwwww but that's why we love you David be sure to catch the Cookster on tour through August and check out his video for "Come Back To Me" @ http://music.att.net/ and catch Idol next Tuesday as the Idols perform song from the year they were born :) Tuesday 8/7c only on FOX!
David surprised us again with the earlier release of his video that was to be seen only after Idol, but you can check out the full video @http://music.att.net/ , all I can say I sheer brilliance David we love you and our thoughts and prayers go out to you and all of your family, David has cancelled two of his upcoming shows in order to deal with family issues I hope that the media and all can respect his privacy as he wishes:)
