Hey Mr. Castro, Play a Song for Me

Much anticipation in the K household tonight for Maroon 5 on Idol. But first... another lame group performance.

Adam A. is brought out and Seacrest painfully makes the small talk before mercifully sending him to safety. Man, Adam A. is the death with his monotone, mumbling, talking-in-circles blathering. Cookie is also safe - as if he had any doubt.

Comparing the final 4 bland, yawn-inducing Idolettes to The Beatles? Really? Pssshaw.

I know I keep harping each Ford promo is progressively worse than the one prior, but after this week's "Ring of Fire"/Mustang-fighter abomination?

Maroon 5 hits the stage and has a fan... until the lead singer offers the Idolettes some advice. I found it humorous, but LRK found him weird. The M5 buzz diminishes in the K house. I'm still hoping there's enough so I can catch Counting Crows when they and M5 visit Hershey in August.

Bob Ice needs a witness!

Mercado: safe. Castro: not safe (3 points). Clearly, he shot the Tambourine Man.

Results Show: Week 12, Final 4

They-they-they-they-they-they say the heart of rock n' roll is still beating. Well, from what I've seen tonight on Idol, I'm not sure I believe 'em. The Idolettes had the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame to work with, and for the most part came up empty.

If one needs any proof that Cookie takes himself waaaaay too seriously, I introduce his cover of "Hungry Like the Wolf" as exhibit A. Self-indulgent much? Syesha attempts to channel Tina, Castro offers a weak reminder of Jamaica and Baby Elmo puts forth a typical Archuletian performance.

Cookie attempts to redeem himself. Call me crazy, but I really liked Castro's "Mr. Tangerine Tambourine Man" and would download it if I presently had access to iTunes. Syesha and Randy kill the buzz and Archuleta is what it is.

Anyway, now's the time to cast your vote on who you think will get the boot! Pick your 1 contestant who you think will be x'd this week by Wednesday at 6:30 PM ET.
