American Idol season 9 lost another hopeful Wednesday as the vote results were revealed and Didi Benami drew the short stick. In addition to the requisite elimination action, the AI results show featured a performance by season 2 Idol Ruben Studdard, the world premiere of Diddy-Dirty Money's Hello, Good Morning, and naturally, more catfighting between Ryan Seacrest and Simon Cowell.
The American Idol results show finally, finally, finally got to what we were waiting for about 18 minutes in: Actual results. Lee DeWyze was the first contestant to be named to the top 9, followed by Casey James and Aaron Kelly. Siobhan Magnus and Katie Stevens were next to stand; Siobhan was proclaimed safe and dissolved into tears, while Katie was relegated to the bottom three. Simon must've made some sort of comment about Katie's position near the bottom of the pack because Ryan flew toward him and told him (paraphrased, of course) to stop being a jerk, which impelled a defensive set of remarks from the Briton. It was awkward, as open hostility on national TV is always awkward. But I got over it.
But no, still no final results. Instead, Diddy - Dirty Money hit the stage with the world premiere of Hello, Good Morning from the upcoming release Last Train to Paris. Since I had to look it up myself, I figure I'll share the goods on exactly who Diddy - Dirty Money is: Diddy is none other than Diddy, the man formerly known as Puff Daddy, Puffy and a bunch of other Magic Dragonesque monikers. Dirty Money is comprised of Dawn Richard and Kalenna. Anyway, it was a strobing, insanely energetic offering that left me feeling tired. But also oddly amped.
The night's American Idol results show action came to a crescendo as Didi Benami was named the week's lowest vote-getter and found herself singing for her life. The pretty blonde chose Fleetwood Mac's Rhiannon for her save attempt, but after the judges' deliberation, Simon told her that she wouldn't be staying in the competition. (*)
