'American Idol' Top 4 Results Live: Ryan Seacrest snubs 'Constantine Maroulis'?

Zap2it's weekly "Dispatches from Inside the 'Idol' Dome" brings
fanatics like you (and us) closer to all the action. What didn't viewers
see on the TV broadcast? We got it covered.It totally looked as though Constantine Maroulis had joined Daughtry! What else happened off-camera?
"Idol" needs a clap-o-meter
- We would love to see an actual meter that registers the applause by the studio audience. Tonight would've been humorous because the reactions were quite varied.
- When Cory the Host announced tonight's performance lineup, Daughtry got the young people's applause, Bon Jovi got everybody's and poor Fantasia hardly got any. Thankfully she wasn't out on stage at that point. A girl behind us actually asked her friend, "What's Fantasia?" Not "who," but "what." We kid you not.
Those stools are slippery lil' suckers
- The Idols were center stage on the stools for the Ford music video, so when it played on the screen, they tried to swivel around and watch. Except the stools don't swivel. Crystal almost slipped off hers.
- Meanwhile, Big Mike barely fits on a stool. We don't know how we didn't notice before because he's been on the Stools of Doom prior to the Top 4, but yeah ... Mike barely fits.
From "Rock of Ages" to Daughtry?
- When Daughtry started performing, we wrote in our notes, "His guitar player looks like A LOT like Constantine Maroulis. Weird."
- Then said guitar player looked like he wanted to come forward into Ryan's interview with Chris Daughtry, so we thought maybe it really was Constantine?
- Then after the show went to commercial, the judges came up to greet and hug Daughtry and they were hugging and shaking hands with Bizarro Constantine too. If we didn't know better, we'd swear it was really him. They say everybody has a twin out there and we think we just found the Maroulis doppelganger.
Randomness
- Casey James threw a guitar pick into the mosh pit and almost incited a riot. Seriously, there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth trying to find that thing in the semi-dark studio.
- During the dramatic Mike-Lee-Crystal results moment, Debbie the Stage Manager tripped over the smoke machine and dropped a very large flashlight with a loud thunk. Our side of the audience giggled and she scurried backstage.
- Chuck Liddell was there. Yeah, we know ... what?! He was an MMA fighter and also appeared on a season of "Dancing With the Stars," but still. Random.

Another one bites the dust! Thank goodness Big Mike is gone!
To be honest though - apart from Crystal I really don't care who goes home and when!
I am such a huge Idol fan but this year has been a crushing disappointment - weak contestants, bad show themes, disappointing eliminations, checked out judges... I recently wrote a piece on the show - Fallen Idol - with 7 ways to turn the show around ahead of Season 10. Boy, does Idol need it!
Check out the piece here...

Um, Casey doesn't deserve to be in the Top3. If he gets into the final, nobody will watch the finale, I'm sure the producers will prevent it.
Also, saw Police drummer Stewart Copeland in the audience as well.
It did look like Constantine but it wasn't. It was the actual guitarist from Daughtry - who rocked tonight!
This may be the worst Top 4 in idol history - strike that - this IS the worst Top 4 in idol history.

That was not Constantine Maroulis. He isn't in Daughtry's band. He is staring on Broadway in his Tony nominated role in the new musical Rock Of Ages!
This is the worst top 4 ever in the worst season ever. Hang it up Idol.
every year is the worst year ever until the next comes along. The show was over when Adam Lambert, whether or not people liked him, ramped up the excitement level and competition giving false hope for the show's future. By making good music and even mentoring other participants the show got a boost. But this year the contestants are more like last year's winner, you know the guy in the Ford ads? Vote on people
Another thought, if Mike had gone home when he was voted off,
SSibhon may have stepped up the cinterest level, she has the ttools and was a but controversial.

The contestants don't have any stardom potential. Whoever wins is going to have a very mild success in the beggining and then head to Broadway. Good luck. What did you guys think about Fantasia? She sounded awful.
Casey totally deserves to be in the top 3.Unlike some over-pimped contestants(coughs)who should have gone home since. I just hope for a Crystal/Casey finale
