::Yawn::

I came home early to take a nap and I just woke up now! Ryan has his G-man look on tonight. THIS is American Idol!

Please enjoy this Up With People performance of "All I Ask of You," for that is all they ask of you. The dudes somehow sound much better together than the girls do. Ahhh my ears! Enjoy Lloyd Lord Andrew Lord Lloyd Webber on the piano! He does this turning toward the audience and singing bit at the end of the song that is DRAMATIC and FREAKISH. I kind of find it to be kind of awesome. Abigail Breslin approves!

Let's check out this hot molten hot lava bomb of clips from last night! Hahaha LAWL's Moody Blues-esque voice-over on top of the glow-effect tape of the judges with Phantom masks is really quite phenomenal.

Ryan goes inside the Actors Studio with LAWL. His impish urchin-like enthusiasm is strangely compelling. Brooke is clearly displeased that they bring up her false start and registers smug glee when LAWL somehow justifies it. Oh whatever.

The FORD MUSIC VIDEO! salutes Danny Noriega with "Tainted Love." I guess this is a Sin City-type treatment, which is being extremely generous. Carly trying to destroy things? You don't say.

The President and First Lady salute Idol Gives Back. Just one person with talent can win over an audience of millions! You don't say!

We're in Bottom Two mode. The audience cheers "the safety zone." This show is weird. (You don't say.)

David C. says Andrew Lloyd Webber is one of the most definable songwriters. He gives himself a lot of credit for being unpredictable by singing it straightforwardly. Uh. David A. appears to have some kind of post-traumatic stress disorder. They're both safe!

The shot backstage at the four remaining contestants reveals Jason to be yawning. Highlight of the night, or dare I say hiiiighlight.

Let's look at allllllll the Idol alumni on Broadway, which means checking in with the latest stage of Clay's bizarre ongoing makeover. Only he and Tamyra appear to have been cordial enough to contribute new interviews. Now here's Leona Lewis! FLAMES!

Let's bring out Brooke and Syesha! Brooke is safe! Syesha is not! Let's bring out Jason and Carly! Jason is safe! Carly is not!

That's ... fascinating. Chris thinks Carly jinxed herself by saying she's going to have fun "from now on." Now let's make them both sing! Chris: "You having fun now?!"

An arsonist strikes again! From sunny and warm to stormy and cool. And who is Jared Allen? TONIGHT on the Fox 9 News at 9!

Ryan says it's time to put these two lovely ladies out of their misery! They're both gone? You'd think they're being sent to the gas chamber. Jeez, drama. Who's tanked?

Let's celebrate her home! America is the land of opportunity and dreams. Simon apologizes for giving her a compliment last night. "Kiss of death!" So long, big girl chest voice.

Whew. We made it through that one, didn't we?
