"The Man in the Mirror..."

Let just get this out of the way now... I might be developing a tiny crush on Kris Allen! It's that sweet southern accent... and unassuming smile... he's adorable!

Okay.. on to the recap!

Ryan starts the show by asking... "What have YOU done?" essentially blaming us for crushing the hopes and dreams of 9 contestants... gee, Seascrest! There were 25 million votes cast and I take credit for 150 of them (it would seem my vote is pretty inconsequential). Alexis, Michael and Danny are paraded once again across our screen and I think I've decided they are already my least favs of the Top 12...

The Group song this week is "Closer" by Neyo and the kids sound pretty "kick awesome" (tm CutieKris) together... especially the guys! They're also totally groovin' out and I love it! Anyone else notice Nick is so not a fan of the group sing... he wasn't even singing half the time! Ps. Kai shirt is stellar... the new tuxedo shirt!

We come back from the first commerical to Contestant Chat where we learn... Nick's still funny, Matt B's still learning, Jesse's still mouthy and Jeanine think less is more especially in shorts.
Ryan calls out the first group of Allison, Jesse and Matt B. -- yada yada yada... Matt & Simon might get into a fist fight... Allison is the through and the others are sent packin'! Allison sings "Alone" again and I hit fast forward, but not before we're remind again just how young Allison is... 16!!!!

Back from break # 2 Ryan pulls down Kris and Megan then Matt G. and Jeanine. Ryan makes the mistake of asking Paula's opinion... her response "Matt, Kris or Megan... oh yeah, and Simon's a gnat?" (crazy lady). Kara steps in to drone on about nothing and Simon calls her on it... she gets defensive and Ryan cuts her off... good times! After a whole lot of nothing (plus the dismissal of Matt G. & Jeanine) Ryan finally gives Megan her walking papers and Kris is through to the Top 12 (are Paula & Simon high-fiving in the background? what up with that)
Aw.. he's generally shocked and so happy... it's cute and contagious! He sings again... and I still dig it! He's so sweet and unassuming... I like him! He's like Jason Castro & Brooke White rolled in to one person!
Ps. check out his youtube awesomeness! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ob-7iVMcfLk

After yet another commerical we get to re-see the 'Idol Retrospective' ... and I certainly don't mind a chance to see David Cook cry again! Plus... hello Idol Season 7 alum, Brooke White... welcome back! She tell the kids "don't Google your name" and goes right into her new single "Hold Up My Heart"... it's 100% Brooke! A little sweet, a little cheesy... I like it!

We're back from break 457... Mishavonna, Kai & Jasmine are all out. Leaving Nick or Adam... and of course it's Adam! DUH! I fast forward again, but still have to see Adam and his weird tongue thing... yuck!

We close out the show with Group 3's dorky dancing! It's cute and fun... it's ALEX! Next week should definitely be interesting... wide open for the guys & third spot!

WC round is also next week! I'm expecting to see... Anoop, Matt G., Megan, Ricky and Jesse... but I think the first 3 will get the Wild Card picks!
