FOLLOW THE DAY, AND REACH FOR THE SUN: Idol results, and a callback to the initial tiers, after the fold.
Andrew Garcia and Katie Stevens go home, with Tim Urban also under threat.
Neither of them were going to win, and Garcia clearly had emptied his tank before the semis were over. As for Katie, I overestimated her abilities and, clearly, underestimated yet again the ability of tween girls and their parents to power-dial on behalf of untalented asexual white boys. (Year of the Woman? Apparently not.)
That said, the margin of error has declined dramatically for our singers, and if Tim and Aaron remain as safe as they've been, the next few weeks are going to suck.
Next week it's "inspirational songs," with guest mentor Alicia Keys. Translation: sing whatever you want.
