Lacey went out with her head held high and with the same grace and style she brought every week. She was the last person to go before the voting rounds last year - instead we got Simon Crushing Megan. It's a nice story to see her come back this year and get into the Final Twelve.
I have no problem with Lacey being the first to go - Idol history is that cute guys like Tim Urban hang around longer than their female counterparts; a notable exception being in Season 7 with Ladies Choice Michael Johns going out before The Horrifying Kristy Lee Cook. And let's face it, Paige is next because it's entirely possible with Tim we have a brewing Unspeakable One situation. OK, for the new readers I will give the identity of the Unspeakable One - Sanjaya. Now, I have to wash the keyboard and vow to never mention his name again.
Far more interesting was the gift we hope keeps on giving - not only no Cheesy Idolist Sing-and-Dance-along but a smokin' version of Jumpin' Jack Flash* by David Cook to begin the proceedings. [memo to Lee: That's what a gravel-voiced rocker sounds like when he let's it rip. Take note.] Please, producers, we beg of you, do this every week. I'm guessing Casey and Crystal were especially happy about the absence of Idol Cheese.
And then we got Orianthi. It will look really bad if I throw My Girl Siobahn under the Ford Focus after one night so I'll just keep my thoughts to myself.
Oh yeah, somebody else "performed". A friend already got a text messaging diatribe from me about that so I don't have energy left to say any more. It would all be unprintable anyway.
* Historical trivia: Jumpin' Jack Flash was the first song I ever played to death. Hundreds have followed since most recently Adam Lambert's Sleepwalker (hot guitar solo by an Aussie girl named Orianthi).

Lacey went with complete class...she has a sweet voice and I wish her well.
David Cook was awesome!!
Ke$ha was a complete di$a$ter.
Lacey = class
yes
from beginning to end
IMHO, "let go" night is one half hour too long.
Kesha was AWEFUL! I hope the music industry's infatuation with her is short-lived.
Lacey was very classy throughout. Although, I was not a huge fan of her voice so I was not entirely surprised or disappointed that she left.
Ray, I had completely forgotten about the unspeakable one and then you had to go and remind me. Ugh! I sure hope that Tim goes soon.
I also wonder how genuine the little tiff between Ryan and Simon was last night. Honestly, Ryan was not all that threatening. Geez! Get a backbone Simon.
