I wasn't surprised the judges didn't use their one save on the 2 that left.

Tonight,
the American
Idol 2019 Top 10 sing for YOUR votes. For the FIRST
TIME this season, American
Idol goes LIVE coast to coast. Viewers across the US
will watch and vote simultaneously. At the end of the
episode, TWO contestants will be eliminated. The
Top 10 contestants will sing Disney classics in front
of judges Lionel
Richie, Katy
Perry and Luke
Bryan. The finalists will be mentored by actress Rebel
Wilson. Additionally, the Top 10 will join Glee
star Lea
Michele for a fun group number. AND, Idol
sweethearts, Maddie
Poppe and Caleb
Lee Hutchinson–the 2018 winner and runner-up
respectively–will return for a special duet.

Here is how to VOTE. Y'all
can start voting AT THE TOP OF THE SHOW:How to Vote on American Idol 2019 –
Everything You Need to Know

The judges goof on the classic "Heigh Ho"
at the top of the show.
OH
BOY. Katy is dressed as Ursula, complete with purple makeup.
OK then. host Ryan
Seacrest declares "THIS is American Idol"
flanked by Minnie and Mickey.

THE JUDGES SAVE IS BACK OH BOY
OH BOY OH BOY. Same rules. The judges can save ONE
contestant. They've got 3 weeks to use it.

Uche
– Eye to Eye from A Goofy Movie – Uche heads off to
Disneyland with his mother who is so so proud of him. In his
mentor session with Rebel she notes his natural confidence.
She thinks the song is a bit obscure, but if he brings the
energy, he'll crush it.. I have never heard this song, but
it has Prince-like overtones and suits Uche very well. His
vocals are a little sloppy. But, he continues to be a joy to
watch. TOTALLY FIERCE. Katy doesn't know the song.
She loves his magic, but…"I'm waiting for a little
more voice." Uche says, "I don't know what that
means." Neither do I? Lionel doesn't care! Uche is a
performer. That's what's important. Luke says, "You
make it an Uche song." Katy could
have been more precise and constructive when attempting to
criticize Uche's vocals. Goofy joins Uche and Ryan on
stage for some hijinks.

Laci
Kaye Booth – I See the Light from Tangled –
Laci LOVES Rapunzel. Rebel wants her to belt a little more.
Do you ever fight with your mum? She asks. She suggests Laci
belts to her mother's face. Hm. This song is boring, and
Laci isn't bringing much life to it. I understand why
Rebel wanted her to "belt." Her interpretation needed
more dynamics–raise
the heat on the last verse and chorus. Luke thinks she's
becoming a "Disney princess." He calls her subtle
delivery "real and honest." Lionel calls it a "perfect
song….you are on a roll." Katy feels she made the song
her own.
Uh.
Katy is chomping on a giant crab leg. SOMETHING was bleeped
out.

Alejandro
Aranda – Remember Me from Coco – Alejandro
brings a music pal to Disneyland. In his session with rebel,
he confesses that he doesn't know the lyrics. Look at
Alejandro dancing with Rebel. He does have a sense of humor.
Note: Apparently, Alejandro got sick this week. He
sounds under the weather. Still, he delivers the song with a
sweet, touching vulnerability. I like the arrangement
a lot. Lionel says he embodies "true artistry." Katy
loves him so much, she feels the emotion coming from him.
"Trust the universe," she says. Luke notes that the show
is pushing him out of his comfort zone, and it's a good
thing.
HI
CARRIE
UNDERWOOD. She congratulates the Top 10 for putting
on an "amazing show." She can't appear because her
tour begins May first. She's at rehearsal. So cool that
she took the time to tape a video.

Alyssa
Raghu – Colors of the Wind from Pocahontas –
Her Dad and little sisters flew out to surprise her. One
lives with her mother in another state. I remember Alyssa
hinting last season at some family drama. Part of
Rebel's mentoring strategy is tossing around cotton
candy–to teach Alyssa to stay focused during a
performance. Rebel can't understand why America didn't
vote for her last week. "I felt a connection." Alyssa
delivers a sweet, if pageanty performance of the ballad.
There's even a strategically placed arm spread. But
consider what she's got to work with–a really dumb song.
"That was so beautiful and elegant…I am so happy you
tried on a few new notes.," says Katy. Luke compliments
her for continuing to fight. Lionel says, "We have come a
long way with your journey."
Lea
Michele is next. She's performing the lead role
in "Little Mermaid" at the Hollywood Bowl this summer.
She sings "Part of Your World" as a preview. You know.
Lea can sing Broadway. The Top 10 perform backups.
Well, that performance was short (actually, a minute and 39
seconds–just like an Idol performance!)

Wade
Cota – You've Got a Friend in Me from Toy Story
-Rebel relates to Wade as one big person to another. The
singer takes his mom, of course, to Disneyland. Randy Newman
is a treasure! Also a better singer than Wade. But the rasp
is similar, which makes this song the perfect choice for him
He lifts his foot and "Andy" is written on his sole?
Don't kill me. I've never seen Toy
Story (although I probably did know at one point the
little boy's name was Andy). The judges are swaying in the
background as he sings. Luke feels we got a glimpse Wade's
future as an artist. "You're a star," says
Lionel, "You have that identifiable voice." Katy says,
"It was fantastic…fantastic song choice…so
relatable."Hi
mentor Bobby
Bones. He's backstage giving contestants advice
and encouragement. He urges fans to VOTE VOTE
VOTE.

Dimitrius
Graham – You'll Be in My Heart from Tarzan –
Dimitrius is a big Rebel fan. "I sniffed her, she smelled
like strawberries," he confessed. Thanks for sharing! She
encourages him to emote more. Don't' be so serious, she
says. Dimitrius' mom surprises him at Disneyland. She had
cancer surgery, during Hollywood Week. But now she looks
healthy. Dimitrius is in control thi week as he builds the
song to a glorious crescendo. This boy can SANG.
The high notes are mostly
on key. He wobbles a little on the highest–but not a big
deal. He drops to his knees at the finish. So much passion!
Katy runs on stage to comfort him. "We love you,
your journey has been amazing," says Luke. "You have an
incredible instrument," adds Katy, "You took us on a
ride." Luke says, "We have really picked your voice
apart on this show…you didn't miss a note on a very
challenging song." His pitch wasn't perfect, but much
improved.

Walker
Burroughs – When She Loved Me from Toy Story 2
– Walker's family joins him at Disneyland. After he
sings, Rebel calls him a "little cutie." She helps him
with pitch problems. He told Rebel he wouldn't play piano.
But he changed his mind, obviously, as he sits behind a baby
grand. His presentation is so earnest. I believe every
word. Such as sweet rendition. This might be my favorite
from Walker so far. "You really transported me to another
time and place," says Katy. Luke hopes America understands
the difficulty of what he just did, noting the difficult
piano parts. "We call you in our business, a
pro….perfect," says Lionel.

Sweethearts
Caleb
Lee Hutchinson and Maddie
Poppe sing "A Whole New World" from Aladdin.
She's last year's Idol winner. He was the runner up. And
they're boyfriend and girlfriend. Well, that was less
awkward than last season's duet. But still kinda
(adorably!) awkward.

Madison
VanDenburg – How Far I'll Go from Moana –
Madison's sister Taylor joins her at Disneyland. She
marvels at how her confidence has grown. Rebel takes Madison
into the suite's bathtub to rehearse. For the
bathroom acoustics, of course. "How Far I'll Go" is
overdone on singing shows, although it suits Madison's big
voice. With her rich tone and impressive range, she really
can sing anything. However, I'm waiting for her to break
out of the box a little! Luke feels she surpassed every
singing show version of that song. "A stratosphere of
notes," says Lionel. Katy believes she's stepped into
her power.Ryan
pimps the big Idol clip show that airs tomorrow (April 22).
Feel free to skip it. Just kidding. I'll probably watch it
later this week.

Laine
Hardy – Oo-De-Lally from Robin Hood – Rebel
coaches Laine to move his mouth more. She encourages him to
sing/shout from the balcony at the Disney park peeps below.
Laine is easy for the fans at home to connect with, she
believes. The song is perfect for Laine's swampy style,
although I prefer him a little grittier. The house
band's lead guitarist plays a few cool licks. Lionel says
he "found his wheelhouse." Katy repeats that he could
win the competition. Luke says, "You better be careful, or
you might win American Idol." It's a thing Luke said at
Laine's audition–last season.

Jeremiah
Lloyd Harmon – Candle on the Water – Pete's
Dragon – Ugh. Performing last is not the pimp spot when
viewers only have minutes to vote afterward. Jeremiah's
sister Annie surprises him. It's the first time a family
member has attended a show. Hm. Annie hints she wasn't
previously down with the gay. But she's learning. Another
boring song choice! But Jeremiah saves it with a beautiful
vocal and sincere emotion. His tone is so pure. OH THAT HIGH
NOTE! Katy marvels at his note hitting abilities. "You are
a pro pro pro," says Luke. Lionel declares that Jeremiah
is OWNING his talent.

Back
from break, Ryan has the results in his hand. KIERAN DIM THE
LIGHTS HERE WE GO. The first person through to the Top 8 is
Laine! Madison is next. Also America wants to see more
of…Alejandro. Singing again for another week..Jeremiah.
After the nationwide vote is…Walker! Coming back next week
is…Laci. The nation has totally fallen in love with…Wade
Cota. Three people left. ALL WILD CARDS PEOPLE. Alyssa Raghu
takes the last spot.

Will
the judges save Uche or Dimitrius? Will they save one of
them twice? Both African American singers were eliminated.
For real. THE
JUDGES DECIDE NOT TO USE THE SAVE.I
hate to see these two talented singers go. But the judges
saved them last week. Chances are, the save would have
bought them only one more week.. I understand why they
didn't use it. Dimitrius could not have done more to help
himself as far as performance is concerned. But perhaps
Rebel had a point when she suggested he not be so serious.
Dimitrius was a bit of a cipher on the show. It didn't
help that he had less screen time than the
others. But
Uche. Dang. He was SO entertaining! I was so looking forward
to his Queen performance next
week. Uche NEEDS to be mentored by Adam
Lambert. Uche was fun, likeable and knew how to
work that stage. There are
better vocalists on the show, but there are worse too.
Alejandro and Wade get a pass from viewers for less than
stellar vocals based on their musicality and personality
respectively. I believe Uche deserved the same consideration
for his performance skills.
