The Top 3 Results Show Begins With...A Movie Plug?!

8:59 Ben Stiller does an intro for “The American Idol Desk”…It’s a plug for “Night at the Museum 2”…Bill Hader…Hank Azaria…Jonah Hill…They’re pretending to put the desk in the Smithsonian…SERIOUSLY?! The last regular results show of the season and we don’t hear Ryan say, “THIS is American Idol” and instead get yet another movie commercial? And why do they keep bringing Ben Stiller back after his off-color jokes on “Idol Gives Back” a couple of years ago?...

9:02 Ryan down the stairs. He says that the desk really is going into the Smithsonian…Kevin Bacon in the house…Over 88 million votes. WOW!!!...Ryan plugs a surprise by saying, if you think you know how the competition is going to go, think again. Just over one million votes separating the top two tonight. I think that means Adam and Danny, but…

9:03 Ford Music Video…“Break My Stride”…It’s weird to see three guys. It’s the first time there hasn’t been a girl in the top three…I really can’t explain this one because it’s just stupid, but the song was good…

9:04 Ryan introduces Alicia Keys…She comes out from behind the big video board. Simon seems a little surprised to see her…She is introducing a video for Keep a Child Alive…We see someone behind her come out and grab something/put something in place and someone in the crowd can’t keep quiet…She asks for people to help with a donation…It’s not a video. Alicia introduces Noah, a young boy from Rwanda, who comes out to sing a song he just learned in English…Help me out here, everybody, I should know what this is, but I can’t recognize it…Ryan comes out and decides to try to dance, try being the operative word…Alicia comes back out to remind us to text to make a donation…Break…
