Last night the American Idol 2012 Top 3 performed for your votes and a shot in next week’s season finale. Which of the three will be heading home after your votes? Will it be Joshua Ledet, Phillip Phillips or Jessica Sanchez.

We’ll find out at the end of the American Idol results show tonight, which means we’ll get a lot of filler and little suspense since there’s not much Ryan Seacrest can do to mess with our heads when there are only three left.

Speaking of filler, OK, OK I’ll stop. The entertainment for the night will be Lisa Marie Presley (I’m serious) and Season 8 runner-up Adam Lambert. Lisa Marie will perform “You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet,” from her new album Storm & Grace, and Adam Lambert is set to perform his new song, “Never Close Our Eyes.” Check that song out below.

Check back later for the live American Idol 2012 Top 3 elimination and for a complete recap of the American Idol results show.

Phillip Phillips nabbed himself the pimp spot last night on American Idol 2012 and while he didn’t convince the judges on all his performances there was still plenty of positive responses including a standing ovation. Check out his three performances from the Top 3 show.

The judges start Phillip Phillips with Madcon’s “Beggin’.” JLo delivers the insightful commentary “you’re so funny” (gee, I wonder why she’s not coming back next season) while Steven Tyler likens Phillips’ potential to Bruce Springsteen. Randy congratulates Phillip for being “in the zone” and delivering an “incredible performance.”

As part of the American Idol 2012 Top 3 performances last night Jessica Sanchez followed Joshua Ledet and delivered three of her own. The judges’ praise was overflowing including a surprising early prediction by Steven Tyler that Jessica Sanchez would win this season of American Idol

Jessica Sanchez starts her American Idol Top 3 night out with the judges’ selection of Mariah Carey’s “My All.” JLo praised Jessica’s restraint while Randy thought it was the best Mariah cover on television “EVAH!” Randy must go home exhausted each night from fending off every other singing show out there.

Last night on American Idol 2012 Joshua Ledet delivered three big performances: “I’d Rather Go Blind,” “Imagine,” and “No More Drama.” The judges loved his work and, as we’ve seen again and again this season, one of these even earned him another standing ovation.

Despite Randy Jackson introducing this song as “I’d Rather Be Blind” the song is called “I’d Rather Go Blind.” Check out Joshua Ledet’s Top 3 performance of Etta James’ classic.

The American Idol 2012 Top 3 took the stage tonight and sang three songs each, and as usual, the results were mixed.

Round one was songs picked by the judges, round 2 the contestants picked their own songs and for round 3, the songs were picked by mentor Jimmy Iovine.

As always, I’ll review each performance and assign the letter grade I think each deserved. In order of performance:

ROUND ONE – JUDGES’ CHOICE

Joshua Ledet, “I’d Rather Go Blind.” I think this was a great song choice for Joshua and the performance was as well. He handled this song perfectly because he held back a bit, then went full-on Joshua with the screaming and then threw in some scatting. It was overall a good performance. (A)

Jessica Sanchez, “My All.” I didn’t think this was the best song choice for Jessica. Why would the judges pick such a flat-line of a song when they constantly criticize such song choices? It was all just kind of there for. It didn’t go anywhere. (B)

Phillip Phillips, “Beggin.” For Phillip, this was pretty high energy. It was nice to see him doing something up tempo and still being true to who he is. I think it’s one of Phillip’s better performances lately. (A-)
