David versus David!

Yep, it’s David vs. David at the American Idol finale. Syesha Mercado took the elimination gracefully (Simon did warn her the night before that she had a less-than-impressive performance). “I just want to say thank you.” She looked more proud than disappointed to have made it so far. As for next week’s battle of the Davids, Simon predicted, “We’re going to have a real humdinger.”

Jeff Archoleta’s been a meddler from the start, but after the “Stand By Me” debacle (he insisted on changing the song’s lyrics) he’s been banned from backstage. Apparently the show had to fork over a lot of money to the enraged publisher of the song.

Face it, Jeff. Your son isn’t going to win this show by being “creative” — that’s David Cook’s strength. Nor are you going to get far into the business by being a schmuck — that’s Simon Cowell’s.

Rock the Cradle’s surprise ending

The reality show Rock the Cradle was full of happy surprises. Kenny Loggins’s son, Crosby, won (“My ulitmate goal was to come in second!” he said. And then Britney Spears made a guest appearance.

No she was not there to personally witness Blaze Snider (Dee’s son) sing his version of her hit “…Baby One More Time.” She was supporting her manager Larry Rudolph, who is on the show’s panel of judges.

Jason’s kicked off Idol

Jason Castro was eleminated from American Idol, but is anyone really surprised? Mr. Space Cadet gave a “Karaoke” performance of “I shot the Sheriff” and then he forgot the lyrics of “Mr. Tambourine Man.” The only big surprise is that he got to the Final Four at all.

But Jason hasn’t lost his sense of humor.

Surprise eliminations for DWTS

Everyone thought that Marissa Jaret Winokur and Tony Dovolani would be eliminated from Dancing With the Stars, but it turned out that Mario and partner Karina Smirnoff were sent home. He took it gracefully, though.

“I’ve had a great time, a great partner and great competition,” Mario said: “Len, thank you for all the comments you made. Ultimately, you helped me become a better ballroom dancer. The comment about me being an inspiration to young people, I want to say that the real great ones are the young men and women fighting for our country…I had a ball. Thank you guys.”
