@AndyShore Last night, the contestants were outshone by their mentor. Harry Connick Jr. stole the show. He was funny, and undoubtedly helped the contestants more than any other mentor this season. The big band was good, but the singers were only ok. Lee Dewyze was leaps and bounds better than everyone else. Big Mike Lynche and Crystal Bowersox were on the next tier. Aaron Kelly was after that and Casey James was by far the worst. Is it too late in the season to get by on good looks? We shall see. Tonight Connick Jr. performs. So does Lady Gaga. What is the connection to Sinatra (insert male organ jokes in the comments section below).

9:06 Did anybody else catch Kara wiggling around in Randy’s lap during the group lip sync?

9:13 It’s time for a montage. MONTAGE! Throw in a Black Eyed Peas song for good measure.

9:17 Simon threw out a Yogi-ism right there. “I like to be there live.”

9:18 Lee Dewyze is safe. He’ll get to look like he’s pooping his pants during the results show for at least another week.

9:34 I would officially like to throw Harry Connick Jr. into the mix to replace Simon next season.

9:53 Crystal Bowersox and Casey James are safe. Big Mike and Aaron Kelly are the bottom two.

9:57 Aaron Kelly is going home. I enjoy all the remaining contestants.
