Top 5 Results Show: Ryan Plays the Group Trick

8:23 We’re back…Video of Idols saying how they choose a song, sponsored by Bing…Haley looks pretty frustrated with the question…Now, how do they choose their wardrobe?...Jacob tries to explain his purple checkered jacket. He didn’t…Lauren says the stylist wants to kill her…

8:25 Uh-oh. Ryan just said “we might be surprised.” He said that last week…Dim the lights!...James…Video of Jimmy Iovine’s critique…Jimmy says the emotion on “Without You” “closed his voice out” and it hurt him…He said last night was an 8. I think that’s generous. But you know he’s fine…Ryan starts a group on the far side of the stage. I LOVE THE GROUPS TRICK!!!...Lauren…She looks sick…Some kind of technical glitch cueing the video could be heard…Jimmy Iovine video…He liked “Flat On the Floor,” but he criticized her for pulling back on the biggest note on “Unchained Melody” and said it could keep her out of the finale. I TOTALLY agree she should’ve hit the note…Jimmy says she’ll be in the bottom two…Ryan puts her on the near side…Hmmm…After the break…
