It seemed like a no-brainer, but there was a moment of tension last night when American Idol host Ryan Seacrest called up three contestants, among them James Durbin, and told the other two that they were safe. That could only mean one thing. Durbin’s safety was in jeopardy! But no, it was a silly little mind game by the producers and Durbin was declared safe as well. We’re onto your tricks, Seacrest.

To his credit, the stunt did add some excitement to an otherwise boring episode. One of the musical guests was Lee DeWyze, the winner of last year’s competition, better known for getting booed in his native Chicago when he sang the national anthem at a Bears/Packers game. The Black Eyed Peas also performed, but their song was rather tepid.
Though James barely featured in the show, we did learn one little tidbit about him. He wants to learn Swedish. Swedish? Vad i helvete?!
