And so we say goodbye to . . .

Harry. *Sniff. Sniff.*

Oh yeah, and Aaron, too, but I'll miss Harry more.

On to the recap.

Top 2 Things I'm Sick Of On Results Nights:

1. Randy booing Simon.

It wasn't funny the first time. It's still not funny 279 times later.

2. The #*&@&$* Lip Sync!!

Why?!? It's a singing competition, for crying out loud. If they can't sing well as a group, we should be able to observe that for ourselves! When they lip sync, it only lets us see who sucks at lip syncing (Casey and Aaron, by the way).

Next week's theme? Songs of the Cinema with Jamie Foxx. I remember him being a good mentor in the past. A little full of himself, but good with the kids.

I'm loving the peek into the behind-the-scenes of a typical Tuesday. If they're going to have filler, give us that kind of stuff. The judge stand-ins, what the Idols eat for breakfast, how they do their rehearsals . . . I like that.

In fact, here's a thought. Tell us about the Idol's typical Thursdays and ditch the stupid Lady Gaga performances.

Lady Gaga sat at the piano in netting and a black widow-esque poncho and, apparently forgetting her clothing, her panties. She was surrounded by smoke and trees and satyrs? I'm not sure, but they forget their clothing, too. Then she faked a Spanish accent ("Alejandro!"). And suddenly it was like Erasure meets Gloria Estefan (minus the Miami Sound Machine).

If I'm understanding her message tonight, it's, "If you can't sing, wear a garbage bag and dance in smoke with creepy men who have also forgotten their clothing and you, too, can be famous."

Enlightening.

I loved the Harry Connick, Jr. montage. I think that's part of his charm -- he, like so many jazz greats, has personality and loads of "charismer" as Simon would say. He's hilarious. I love Harry!

Then, Harry Connick, Jr (who sings and performs well enough to not need a costume --or lack thereof--behind which to hide) sang beautifully in an oh-so-classy performance.

Take that, inappropriate female "singer" who can't find her clothing and whose performance I had to mostly fast forward because it was so so so totally inappropriate for my children who like to watch this family program with us. (Imagine me shaking my Craig Ferguson-like fist right here).

Harry RULES. This was the best results show ever (minus Lady Gaga).

The top 5 then lip synced (WHY?!) a medley of Harry's songs. They faked singing, but he played the bejeezus out of that piano. He is a MASTER on the keys. I envy that so much. He's a fantastic performer and a fun story teller. Dude, I love Harry.

Except that he had to announce his concert run on Broadway on live television tonight. ARGH. I'd already looked it up and was hoping to possibly surprise Mark. Oh well, he's in on it now. And yes, we just may go. We are, like, 2 hours from NYC so we can do these things. It's awesome.

The Top 5 look so nice tonight. I totally dig an untied tie.

So, Aaron flies to the moon. He's a sweet, sweet kid.

And I already miss Harry.
