Last week the Idol judges decided to use their one save of the season to save Big Mike Lynche.

Was it a good move? We’ll find out tonight. If Big Mike is one of the two contestants that gets eliminated tonight than the Idol save was pretty much worthless. Sure he would have gotten to spend an extra week doing what the other eight contestants do and enjoyed another performance before the American audience, but the intention of the judges save is to prevent someone that in the opinion of the judges, is being eliminated before his or her time compared to the remaining contestants.

Perhaps I should be clear that this is my understanding of it and I completely agree that it is good for the show as well as the contestants.

As I recall, one of the earlier seasons had a potential winner eliminated with about 6 weeks to go to the finale. I won’t mention any names and just let you wonder who you think it might have been.

Please feel free to comment below if you have an opinion about it.

As for tonight, I was a big fan of Andrew Garcia earlier on, but I truly feel that his time to go has come. As for the elimination of the 2nd contestant I am actually leaning toward Big Mike, but I don’t feel that his elimination is as warranted as Andrew’s, so we’ll just have to wait and see.

Tim Urban really impressed me last night and I find myself very surprised that I now do NOT believe that he should be one to go. Only a few weeks ago, I did.

Fortunately Lee DeWyze had a better performance this week compared to last and he is still one of my favorites along with Casey James, although I did feel that Casey’s performance last night was very forgettable.

There’s been a lot of buzz that Crystal Bowersox is the odd’s on favorite to win the whole thing. Not in my book. Although I do like Crystal I do not see her winning.

Please let me know what you think.
