IDOL LIVE Blog - Top 24 Results (2/25/10)
After two nights in a row of very average, underwhelming exhibitions of performances in a long time. Even though things weren't off to such a great start, some of the contestants show a good amount of promise, and so it will be interesting to see if tonight's boots are deserving or maybe cut a little prematurely.
Also tonight we have performances from Allison Iraheta and Kris Allen, plus Kris helps us kick off "Idol Gives Back" when we see clips of his recent trip to Haiti.
Who do you think will say goodbye tonight?
Please feel free to add your input throughout the one-hour blogcast, with coverage starting just prior to 8 p.m. ET.
Tonight's blogcast features the music of Bo Bice, Chris Richardson, Diana DeGarmo, Lisa Tucker and Ruben Studdard.

Flashback: Lisa Tucker's "Because of You"
Lisa Tucker was among the youngest finalists to compete on Idol's fifth season, and although she gained praise from the judges early on in the season, a few instances of poor song choice ultimately led to her demise. One of these performances was her final one as a contestant, Kelly Clarkson's "Because of You," which she sang Top 10 week for the "Songs from the 21st century" theme. Watch the performance below:
As ambitious as Lisa was to take on a former Idol's greatest song, her take on the song reminded the audience of how she just did not stand up to the standard set by Kelly. Still, at only 17 years-old when she was eliminated, Lisa demonstrated that she had the guts to take risks at such a young age, and she did the best she could possibly due considering the circumstances.
