Carrie Underwood and Randy Travis Duet - “I Told You So”

Posted: 18 Mar 2009 11:22 PM PDT

American Idol winner (and Grand Ole Opry inductee), Carrie Underwood, returned during last night's results show where she performed a duet with country music legend, Randy Travis.  They sang "I Told You So" which is from Randy's recently released album Told You So – The Ultimate Hits of Randy Travis.  carrie underwood and randy travis on american idolI think Carrie did a great job with the classic song while Randy seemed to hit a little of that curse that I find many celebrities face on the Idol stage.  It was still good but not a great as Randy usually can be.  Also, can I just say that, while I liked Carrie's dress, that thing in her hair was both distracting and unflattering.

Alexis Grace Eliminated on American Idol

Posted: 18 Mar 2009 07:07 PM PDT

During tonight's results show, Alexis Grace, Allison Iraheta and Michael Sarver were in the bottom three.  Allison was the first to be sent back to the couch.  The judges revealed that they were considering saving one of them if it came to it.  When it was announced that Michael was safe, Simon said that they would base their decision on how well Alexis sang "Jolene" for the second time. alexis grace elimination_2Unfortunately, the girl fell apart.  It's too bad because Simon actually looked sad when he told her that the judges had decided not to save her.  I think this was a matter of picking the wrong song and then cracking under pressure.  It's too bad because she is talented.

American Idol 8 Top 11 Do Country Week

Posted: 18 Mar 2009 07:48 AM PDT

Last night, the Top 11 contestants performed on American Idol.  They did country songs and, for the most part, it went a lot better than I was expecting.  I have to say, however, that the weird new entrance with the voice announcing the judges and them walking out onto the stage is awkward to me.  I don't like it.

American Idol Top 11 with Randy Travis

Anyway, host Ryan Seacrest wished everyone a Happy St. Patrick's Day (the stage turned green for a brief moment) but did anyone catch Paula Abdul rolling her eyes while Kara DioGuardi was talking?  They can say all they want but my eyes don't lie and that was some clear cattiness right there.

Country music star, Randy Travis, served as the mentor this week and Simon Cowell seemed to get through his least favorite genre with minimal whining about not "getting it" for once.

The performances were as follows:

Who was your favorite?  This week, I really liked Kris, Adam and Danny which are three names I never thought I'd list!
