Lady Gaga best thing about Sinatra week on Idol, ciao Aaron

Lady Gaga is many things, and everyone can agree on at least one: She never bores.

Gaga's "Alejandro" brought the house down, and the ghosts of Frank Sinatra's Rat Pack amassed on stage ready to chuck Casey James, but America voted and saved the golden boy for yet another week.

Sadly Aaron Kelly was sent home on 'American Idol.'  His voice is so clean and pure, the kid is 17! I am amazed at his poise and bowled over by his talent.

Whoever did the wardrobe, makeup and hair for Crystal Bowersox this week needs to win an Emmy for excellence in their respective crafts.

So Americans voted, and Big Michael Lynche, Casey James and Aaron Kelly were bottom three this week.

Aaron's "Fly Me to the Moon" was the performance that sent him on his way.

James' "Blue Skies" was much worse as a performance.

But the best part of the narcoleptic Sinatra eve was America's latest blond-tressed gift to pop music: Lady Gaga.

The New York girl wore black lace as she slithered all over the stage performing her current single "Alejandro," and Sinatra Week mentor Harry Connick Jr. did his silky smooth move in a version of the Lennon/McCartney classic "And I Love Her."

Next week, Jamie Foxx will mentor the top four through some of Hollywood's best-known cinema tunes.

Talk back, did the right Idol go home?
