The Top 12 brought us songs from The Rolling Stones on Tuesday night, and here's how things went, followed by a rundown of Wednesday's results...

I have to go present tense here, because I always recap as I watch it, even though a lot of this happened in the distant past of yesterday.

American Idol Season 9: Top 16 Results

Posted by: Ariana  •  March 12, 2010 @ 1:00am

So who's eliminated, on this, the last chance before the big stage?

1. Katelyn. Which is just great, because now I have to spend the rest of this season with these talentless hacks and not one of them is remotely relatable to me. Whatever. She was better than this the whole time.

2. Todrick, which is a shame because he is so gorgeous and interesting.

American Idol Season 9: Top 16, Boys Night

Ryan seems particularly punchy tonight, so let's get on with it, shall we?

Lee is first tonight, with like, I don't know, Nickelback's take on Owl City? So, "Fireflies," which I don't like on its own because it is boring and derivative, but which sounds especially hideous here without at least the fun bleeps and bloops.

We're gonna be whipping through these kids in just an hour, so brace yourselves.

Judges intro: Ellen is macking on Simon.

Katie Stevens! Kelly Clarkson! "Breakaway"! I already have whiplash! Vocally, it's... not as strong as I would expect from Katie. Flat flat flat. Also...

American Idol Season 9: Top 20 Results

Posted by: Ariana  •  March 5, 2010 @ 1:00am

There is a whole lot of nonsense with Danny Gokey and horrifying group lip-syncs to Black Eyed Peas, and frankly I don't need to waste your time or mine with any of this, so let's just get on with it, shall we?

The guys going home are John Park and Jermaine; the girls going home are Michelle and Haeley.

I swear, every time Ryan says "THIS... is American Idol," he tries to one-up himself.

Crystal Bowersox has some sort of medical situation, so the boys are going first this week. Umm...

American Idol Season 9: Top 24 Results

We open with the usual banter, and then there's a group sing of "American Boy," which is perfectly bizarre, but the kids do well on their harmonies and synchronized walking. Do they always do group sings this early? I thought that was a Big Stage thing.

We're gonna take care of the girls first: Siobhan is safe. Haeley is safe.

American Idol Season 9: Top 24, Boys Night

We're still on Billboard Hits for the week. You got yer introductions of the contestants, you got yer introductions of the judges, you got yer singing. Let's go!

Oh, but wait, I feel I should address something at the outset. Last night, I loved Lacey's performance, perhaps best of all. Everybody else in the world (at least on the internet) HATED it.

American Idol Season 9: Top 24, Girls Night

Posted by: Ariana  •  February 24, 2010 @ 1:47am

You know, I was going to just do one post a week, but it turns out I have so much to say that it's easier to break it up into a post each night. I figured rather than edit the life out of my recap, which would take more time than all of this is worth, I'd just post it here for your enjoyment, in all its 1,600-word glory.
