Tonight the seven remaining American Idol contestants get to perform an "inspirational" song, and looking at the list, it might be good and it might be awful. If Big Mike picks an upbeat song and hams it up it could be his last week, but how many ballads should be perform? We all know Casey James can be good at performing a ballad, but we really have not seen what Lee or Crystal can do with a slower song. I will be curious to see what Alicia Keys will add to the show as well. I thought Adam Lambert was quite good as a mentor for Elvis week, and Alicia should be able to give some good constructive criticism as well. I wonder if Tim Urban might even listen to her!
It is also time for my latest graph since I like graphs. It has been four days since my graph on Friday, so I was curious how the Facebook fan numbers had changed over the weekend. I even left Andrew and Katie in there just since they were actually getting press time over the weekend since they are both getting some press time on their departure. And sure enough, Andrew actually has the fourth highest increase in fans over the weekend, about 1,200 to put him at 46,760 still a very solid second place count. The only contestants with more new fans over the weekend are Tim Urban with about 1,700 more (19,424 total), Lee Dewyze with 2,400 more (to 34,856) and Crystal Bowersox leading the group with about 4,400 more for a total of 66,252. I guess Crystal's news that she had thought of quitting the show has not decreased her growth of popularity. Lee and Casey are just about tied now in total number of fans, but in reality their combined total is about the same as Crystal's total by herself. Siobhan still has not caught up with Katie, and in fact Katie gained about 900 fans (24,488 total) and Siobhan gained 1,100 (22,435) so I do not know if Siobhan will be catching up. On the other hand, Tim is catching up with Siobhan whereas Big Mike still trails at the bottom of the pack.
