American Idol, with a country twist.

Welcome to the Top 11 of American Idol. This week was the Grand Ole' Opry Theme with mentor Randy Travis. So without further a due, here's the TK recap of Country week.

1. Michael Sarver, sings Ain't Coming Home Till The Sun Goes Down.
Recap: Well it wasn't that good for me anyways. It's a good song but not by him.
Judges: They don't have much nice things to say... Simon says 1.2 out of 10, yikes.
TK's take: Bottom 3

2. Allison Iraheta, sings Blame it on your heart
Recap: She has such a unique voice for 16 years old, she has the rock edge which I dig and she can defintely sing.
Judges: They all like it, Randy says it's dope.
TK's take: Safe, and into the top 10.

3. Kris Allen, sings Make You Feel my Love
Recap: I bashed him last week but I stand corrected, the dude can sing and does a great job.
Judges: Simon says he's terrific and the others pretty much agree.
TK's take: Safe, and into the top 10.

4. Lil Rounds, sings Independence Day
Recap: she's not a country singer that's for sure, so it doesn't do much for me at all this week.
Judges: They are mixed, Simon isn't happy, others know this isn't her style of music.
TK's take: Safe, crowd knows what she can do, and is into the top 10.

5. Adam Lambert, sings Ring of Fire.
Recap: This dude is growing on me. I really liked him this week, he kills the song.
Judges: Don't know what they just watched, but they all liked it.
TK's take: Safe for sure, easily into the top 10.

6. Scott MacIntyre, sings Wild Angels
Recap: Have liked him from the start and thought tonight wasn't his best, but not terrible, but what do I know?
Judges: I just want to say what a waste Paula is on this show, she makes a dumb comment about how the piano is his crutch, and then gets into a fight with Simon.
TK's take: Bottom 3, sadly, I hope I'm wrong.

7. Alexis Grace, sings Jolene.
Recap: she sings country well, does a good job.
Judges: Don't like it that much, they miss the dirty in her.
TK's take: Goes into the bottom three but doesn't go home.

8. Danny Gokey, sings Jesus Take the Wheel.
Recap: Is my favorite and once again does a good job this week. Its hard to sing Carrie because of the huge voice but he manages to turn it into his own.
Judges: Paula and Simon like it, and Randy and Cara think it was just ok.
TK's take: Safe and into the top 10.

9. Anoop Desai, sings Always on My Mind.
Recap: Proves he belongs on this show, one of the better ones of the night for sure.
Judges: All praise him, Simon says from zero to hero.
TK's take: Safe, and into the top 10.

10. Megan Joy, sings I Go Walking After Midnight.
Recap: She has the flu, but still sings it very well. I thought it was kind of boring and the other girls are better but we shall see.
Judges: They all like it.
TK's take: Safe, and into the top 10.

11. Matt Giraud, sings So Small.
Recap: Kills it, makes it his own, is a great rendition of the song.
Judges:Love him, say he is underrated and one of the best.
TK's take: Safe and into the top 10.

BOTTOM THREE:
Michael Sarver
Alexis Grace
Scott MacIntyre

GOING HOME: MICHAEL SARVER
