The Green Mile Part 1: The First Girl Is In...

LET’S DO THIS!!!

First we get our reminder that next week it’s all up to us…

It looks like Eben and Robert hear together. I would bet on Robert in that pairing…

THIS is American Idol, baby!!!

Can you tell I’m psyched?...

Thursday, January 19^th the 42 remaining contestants arrive at the Wynn in Las Vegas and then went to see “Le Reve” (The Dream)...

Then the contestants sang accompanied by only one instrument that they chose and they chose the song. Ryan said yesterday, but I don’t know what he meant there…

Reliving the moment Jennifer broke down last season…

Ryan shows us the “Green Mile” and sits in the chair across from the judges…

10 a.m. on Decision Day…Contestants wait in holding room…Phil Phillips says he doesn’t know what to expect…Chase Likens sighting…

Here it comes…

First up, Jen Hirsh. Got to think she’s in…Recap of her big moments…Final performance: “Baby I Love You.” Again, a little over the top for me….Randy said it was “okay” for him…She sits in the chair…Randy starts the “we’re looking for the cream of the crop” speech…Randy shakes his head and she starts to tear up…She’s in…Randy says she’s one of the best singers this year…

There's one...
