I’m going to be live blogging the American Idol final five elimination results as I see it live on television. Yes, this is the first time I’m doing it and the first time that I’ve done it on the Asia’h Epperson fan club site. This should be fun.

Allright folks, we are live (I’m not in the audience but seated at home with my Johnny Walker and my laptop :)). Anyway American Idol just started on Fox. Who are we going to see eliminated tonight? That is the big question? Each one of the remaining five can go on to win the competition. The final five contestants have just finished tonight’s opening song and now Ryan Seacrest is calling out the contestants. It’s elimination time people. Let the show begin.

Jason Castro

First up is Jason Castro. You can cut the tension with a knife. Ryan plays out the vote result and finally confirms that Jason Castro is indeed safe. Way to go Jason.

David Archuleta

 Second to be called out is David Archuleta. The pattern of late has always been that the bottom two are left to the very end. So David has a pretty good chance of making it to the next round if the same pattern continues tonight.

Paula loved David’s performance last night and Simon mentioned that his second song choice was pretty smart. What did America vote? And he is Safe.

Two down, both safe, three to go. 

David Cook

Next up is David Cook. Paula once again loved David’s performance. Infact she even said that she was looking at the next American Idol. Wow that is saying a lot. Ok here is the result and ……. he is safe. Brilliant!

Syesha or Brooke?

We are indeed following the pattern. That means it’s either Syesha or Brooke that will be eliminated tonight. Lets wait and watch. Ryan just called out both Syesha and Brooke out to join him on stage.  Ok here we go, the decision is any minute now. Hold on a minute, Ryan just asked both to go take a seat on the couch. It’s going to drag on a bit I guess, hey the show is for an hour. It’s only 29 mins into the show as I write this.

Ok we are back but its not result time yet. We are right now taking questions on the phone and what do you know we have Simon’s first crush on the phone asking him about a kiss when he was 9 years old. Next up is Neil Diamond singing “Amazing grace“. A truly great artist and if I may say one of the few legend in this industry.

Right, its the results and not a minute too soon. We have three minutes left. And its ………….. Brooke White. Wow, double wow, Syesha is safe and lives to fight for the crown for another day. Its Brooke White that is going home tonight. Boy, what a run she had. She was such an overwhelming favorite right from the start with really powerful performances but she simply dropped the ball when it most mattered. She was at one time one of my favorites and I can’t help but wonder if she only had been a little consistent she might have gone all the way to the top 3.

Allright folks, Brooke just finished her final performance, her swan song and we are done with tonight’s American Idol. Let me now sit back and let the result sink in.

Boy I really can’t help but wonder how great it be to still have Asia’h Epperson on the show. I’m sure she must be watching the show on her telly at home in Joplin and must be really really missing being part of the show, performing on stage in front on a live audience and yes in front of millions on television. Well, if popularity is anything to go by Asiah, you are already a winner. I just hope we see more great performances from you soon.

I hope you enjoyed this post. Do keep coming back for more news about American Idol and of course Asia’h Epperson. Good night and let the discussions begin.
