Live blogging the 2-hour results show
Pray for me, 2-hours! I don't know if I can do it.
Blake and Jordin perform I Saw Her Standing There. Yikes! This show did not start well.
Cut to a pre-taped performance of Gwen Stefani... again. I'm so disappointed early! WTF -- First of all, just where in the world is Gwen performing at this hour? Did they actually expect us to believe that this was live? Ughh. Breathe in, breathe out... the show might get better...
