'American Idol 2011' Top 7 Recap: Lan-GONE!

Welp, I guess I've been avoiding it enough, so it's time to talk "American Idol" and what happened this week. I have to say, after the last few weeks of decent shows, this whole week went down in a ball of flames.

Oh it was bad! Bad times on a stick! The kiddos had to sing a song from anything, anywhere, from the year 2000 until now. ANYTHING! We've had some good music this decade, no? So you would think that it would be a good night of tunes.

Um no. Nobody picked the right song, especially Jacob. You can read my outrage about that here. Casey kissed Lopez, Steven dropped and F Bomb, and it was all just a disaster. Nobody was good. Nobody. Haley gets mild props for singing an Adele song, but that's it. Everyone else can go home. Especially YOU James Durbin. I resent that you suck, did a number that looked like something on Main St. at Great America during "Fright Fest" and no one seems to want to tell you that beyond the screeching...you can't sing.

So before last night's results show, I had the bottom three as Jacob, James, and Stefano.

Then last night happened. The group numbers were especially bad this week. Nothing like hearing "Hey Soul Sister"...the worst song ever written, being hacked and butchered to death by four people that should never sing together...ever. Adding insult to injury, the Leftover Boy Band murdered one of my favorite songs. I hate this show.

Oh look, it's David Cook...singing a song that will be overplayed at every Prom and Graduation. Wonderful.

Katy Perry is here too? Lipsyncing horribly? With Kanye West in his best Muppet vest? Awesome. So glad I'm getting my hour's worth here. No really, thank YOU 19 Entertainment!

So we finally get down to the bidnezz at hand, and in the bottom are Jacob, Haley, and Stefano. I was getting a little excited! Jacob was going to go home for over playing the 'dead dad' card! I don't have to watch his Gospel Drag Show anymore! Yessssss.

But no, Stefano was sent to the gallows. It was his time. The kid had spent 276 weeks in the bottom three and enough was enough already. Kinda sorta too bad, because he was beginning to improve, but there's an Aladdin costume waiting for him at Disney World, and a Carnival Cruise performer contract for him to sign, too.

So long, Stefano...
