American Idol 2010 Top 11 Elimination Results

Yes, America got it right. Sorry but she was horrible

Paige had a really nice voice—I guess the larengitis did a number on her vocal cords—only two minoriies left-huh

I wish the contestants would start taking some risks and stop giving america those boring performances

For next week – ladies – take a look at Dionne Warwick’s Anyone Who Had a Heart, Janis’ Cry cry baby and Leslie Uggams; guys – look at John Lee Hooker, Taj Majal, Leadbelly, Roy Orbison, grateful dead, Otis Redding, some of the Rolling Stones too.

I can’t believe that the judges didn’t save Paige. She has an incredible voice. Tim should have gone home a long time ago. This is supposed to be a singing contest. Shut your eyes and listen to him sing. If it wasn’t for the teenyboppers with crushes on him, he’d be gone.

SUCK, why Tim Urban still save

They got it right. She has the look and she can sing, but she has not done well for weeks. Tim may not have sang great, but it wasn’t painful like Paiges last song. I hated that Alex Lambert didn’t make it. I thought he was better thasn at least half of the 12 that did make it. I was hoping they would do like last year and have 13 to start the show.

Tim Urban or Didi Benami should have been voted off. How could Simon say those horrible things about how not ready Paige Miles is for the big stage when two weeks ago he told her that she was the best female vocalist in the group. Paige Miles did need more self confidence but she was much better than Tim Urban who is so boring and corny and Didi Benami just can’t sing and just kinda sleezy Simon told her that she was no good last night and how she got more votes than Paige or Tim or Katie is bewildering. Paige is so good some recording artist will pick her up remember Jennifer Hudson!

Enough with the contenstants singing ballards already…snooze fest.

I dont have anything against Tim but if he hadnt sing Hallelujah (wich btw is why I respect him, cause I think its the only song he that he nailed) he would have been out !

Heck yeah! If this would have been a couple of weeks ago, I say no, but her performance last night would not have passed the 1st auditions.

To “Be4real”:
Ya, this is all about race huh? Only 2 “races” left…who are you man and what decade are you from???? Paige is super cute and has potential but the girl CANNOT get over her nerves enough to sing well. Stop trying to make s*** out of nothing and “BE FOR REAL”! I am so sick of skin color influencing the way people view american idol. Or everything else for that matter…peace out.

paige is definately the one who should have left!

Tim should’ve went home! He is cute and a good guy I am sure…just not a ‘star’ in my book! He will be gone very shortly. I really liked Paige. She was just having a really bad week. Too bad! I will miss her. What a cute girl!

After the results tonight seems to me that the rest remaining have to really sit and think very carefully what to do next and to do it well. These past weeks have been very predictable, still I think Tim will be going soon if not next week but I am really concerned about Andrew who is one of my favorites. I am not certain if someone coaches these guys and “suggests” what to sing or the songs choice are theirs. Andrew PLEASE pick something that suits your style, you are such a good singer
One by one will have to be eliminated but at the end my prediction has changed (unfortunately) instead of Andrew I think big Mike will be on the top 3 with Siobhan and Crystal. That is if the teens get back to their senses and start voting for a real star instead of a nice face.
On the judges side I am concerned about how they are leading the contestants. I feel contradictions all the time between them. Wish Kara kept her mouth closed and her hands on her pockets lol

TIM URBAN GO HOME NOW

yes ANDREW should leave…. his voice suck

paige sounded terrible although i do like her voice.it was close between her and andrew.

I am so disappointed in the quality of the singers. Most of them are of average ability unfortunately.

i hope casey james makes it to the top 4..he really can sing. Maybe he doesnt prance around the stage as some would prefer if he did. But thats just who he is…great voice, great looks and personality.

casey james is deserving to be the next american idol. he has amazing voice. he sings well and rock at all. he has a great personality. i love his smiles and eyes….go go go casey…

As a viewer from Scotland, I don’t get to vote, but I just don’t understand why Tim, Andrew, Katie and Siobhan (someone please stop her screaming) are there in the first place! Paige should have stuck to rock songs, her voice didn’t suit ballads, but no-one seemed to tell her that. PLEASE AMERICA.. get rid of TIM, he is DREADFUL. Crystal is the best singer but has no personality, same with Casey who is excellent, handsome, but stands like a block of wood. I have loved every series of IDOL, but this is the WORST ever, by a MILE.
I think it is glaringly obvious Simon is totally fed up with it all now.

I think Lee is the popular one so far and that other guy that Kara DioGuardi seems to love thats always playin the guitar n all… But unlike last yr you can’t really pick a favourite cause there aren’t very many people that stick out like Adam Lambert last yr!!!!!!!

I think the best people are Casey James, Mike Lynch, Crystal Bowersox and Lee… But unlike last yr not very many of them stand out like Adam Lambert last yr and what’s up with Siobhan’s screaming, last weeks painted black was painful man!!!!!

Hmmmm… Let me see….

Crystal is by far the most talented.

Michael has by far the most personality.

Screeeeeeching Siobhan seems to be most popular.

I am glad Paige went. But the girl can sing. I think she got to the point where she realized that she did not want to go out on tour with this bunch of non-performers. Remember, no one turns that bad overnight, and I think that Simon spotted it and tried to comment on it, when he said “she stopped performing”… This was not by accident.

Crystal will win, because at some point she will develop some personality…

Lastly, has anyone else noticed that Casey has got absolutely no Rhythm, and can not dance to save his life??

There is no outstanding talent as a singer this year. We a few good musicians (Casey, Crystal, Lee) but none of them gives us the so called “wow moment”.
Unfortunately there are simply terrible ones: Aaron “I sing for the housewives ‘cuz they think I’m cute Kelly, Tim Urban, Andrew Garcia, Katie Stevens.

Paige did have a bad couple of weeks but she had more potential than many of the final 10.

Siobhan-the judges have pumped her up to think she can really sing or as they say hit that high note-sounda like a cat in a bag- please let her listen to Minnie Riperton or Mariah Carey to hear what a high note sounds like and it is not what she is doing.

It will be too funny if Tim wins he can’t sing/dance a lick or Didi who can’t sing either- It will be like when their soul man / Taylor Hicks won- he could not sing or dance too funny.

Cara is to annoying and agrees with everyone:

Paige can obviously sing, but nerves and poor song choice was her own ending.

My Top 3 (not in any particular order)
——————————————-
Aaron (Turn it up) Kelly
Crystal (No doubt) Bowersox
Siobhan (Please hit the high notes without screaming) Magnus

Good also’s
—————-
Casey James
Katie Stevens
Michael Lynche
Didi Benami

Good bye’s
—————-
Andrew Garcia
Lee DeWyze
Tim Urban

Bring back from the dead
————————–
Alex Lambert

A.I. Pole. Who left too soon? Lacey, Alex, Lilly or Todrick.
——————————————–
Lacey 4%
Alex 89%
Lilly 7%
Todrick 2%

This IS the worst Idol season by a mile! About 8 of them should go home, and could do it now. Sad, really. I still remember that nice girl that didn’t make it to the top 24 who was AWESOME. Instead we get Paige. Really?!?!

[Editor's note: Comment deleted for race baiting.]

Yes, America got the vote right. I found it odd, however, that Paige sang her exit version so much better than when she competed. I figured the hoarseness of her voice had subsided a bit more in a day’s time. Gee, what a terrible misfortune for her. I believe she has potential for a singing career, however.

The pain is almost over! Once Tim is gone there will be relief.

I reckon Miley showed them all how it should be done. She was great!!

I thought Paige was lucky to be around this long. It’s going to come down to KC and Boxersox, with the four-eyed Latino as a sleeper.

Andrew and Tim can go next!!

Poor Paige
Tim…can’t wait to see you eliminated.

I’m still so confused why everything thinks Crystal deserves the title so much- her sound is not current at all. Even if she does win, I would not see people going out to buy her songs because that is not the type of music people listen to. Someone above said she is not one of the top vote getters, and I can understand that because her sound is not connecting with people. I am not a teenager and not basing my opinions on looks, but I think that Lee or Big Mike have the most potential to win- their sound is more contemporary, and I could actually see listening to them beyond AI.

Yes, the got it right, but why Katie botttom three, for a sixteen year old,she is pretty good.Here in Canada we all like her,do you people in America not hear very well, Andrew is not a good singer and oh my god, Didi is just horrible, she slinks around and really she is no good, get her off the show, seriously, then you have Chrystal who is good but she is no American Idol, there always could be the first hippie for Idol and thats her, carpet and all. weird.

Right call last night,however,why do the judges have to be so mean!

Right call last night, but not happy with the 10. Lacy and Lily should have not been kicked before Paige. Katie was hanging on a thread, still cannot believe Lily went instead of her or that Tim………..Yeah, the judges are mean as they are trying to weed out people, which should have been Paige, Katie and Tim the weeks before.

I am so dissappointed in A.I this year. Nothing but a glorified kareoke stage.

Yes, America got it right, Paige had to go. I think the BIG audience and venue got to her and pushed her beyond her capabilities …interesting Top 10 .. my favourites are Crystal, Casey, Michael ..

I agree with Tim being the next to go. I am hoping for good performances next week. R&B Soul will be good for most. Should be fun. I think Paige was a really nice young woman but she did not have what it takes. Sad to see her go.

My American Idol was Alex Lambert. There is a petition circulating to get him on the wild card and back in the competition. I believe there are well over 18,000 signatures.

No Tim Urban should not be in the 10 ! Lilly should be there. What is wrong with people??

I feel America got it right this week – YAHOO! I also feel like Tim needs to really step it up or he will be next. Must say – I really liked Paige’s exiting song – too bad she didn’t perform like that when it counted – she could very well still be alive and Tim gone! They won’t let Tim leave I tell ya – they brought him back to the top 24 and need to “prove” they were right.

je suis leila de tunis j’adore Crystal elle est magnifique et je vote pour elle

Yes i think the vote was right. She was the one i wanted off!

This is such a disappointing season. I think Simon hit it right on the head when he said he didn’t know why Andrew and Tim were there. I think Paige was better than them. I am not wild about Casey or Crystal as the next idol. I would never pay to go see this group on tour.

This season holds no excitement factor for the audience. It hasn’t been as fun or entertaining to watch like in past seasons. The song choices have been so strange and I wonder why the producers aren’t stepping in to help out. Yes, Crystal is good, and Lee, and Casey is a very talented singer and guitar player, but even those three aren’t really fun to watch as they all lack stage presence.

My guess is that Tim Urban will stay for another week or two. Remember Sanjaya? Voters purposely voted the worst to spite the judges. But I liked him, and am glad that he will be making the tour. On the good side, he is not as arrogant as some of the other finalists.

Yes to Paige – I don’t think she would make it to the top 5. Tim will have to pull out all the stops. Katie – she will not make it to the top 5 – although she has the youngsters votes

Opps…that should read…I think Tim should have gone. Paige isn’t going to make it, but should have lasted longer than TIM.

Like so many here, I think this years crop is pretty sad. Funny tho, they all were pretty good in the beginning. It seems that they are all not taking chances to ‘stand out’

I’ll get some flack here..but big Mike, while he has a good voice, it pretty corny at times..I personally would like to see him get ‘humblized’

AI is looking for ..s-o-m-e-t-h-i-n-g to get this show on peoples minds, and have simply play the ‘new daddy ‘card too much..

People…stop criticizing siobhan for the way she sings.You may not like it but some people do.I love her because of what and who she is and her singing. She’s trained as a soprano but she’ll have adjustments for sure.But I do wish that she won’t win but get into the 2nd place.With that, she’ll have a more substantial album and be more famous.

This is one of the worst seasons ever. Now, I just record the show so I can fast forward to listen to Mike and Crystal. I miss Lily. For the life of me, I can’t understand why Didi was chosen by the judges and how she continues to make the cut. I know she has the girl next door look, but come on…It’s true, this is truly a popularity contest. Simon is so on the mark and I respect him more than any of the other judges. I’ll probably not watch when he leaves. In any case, who ever wins, if they pour enough marketing money into that person they will become a star. As far as Paige is concern, wrong song choices, but I add, remember the former contestants who were voted off and are now bigger than the winners they went up against.

Hope they will eliminate two next week and save a contestant from the top 24 who was eliminated then. I also hope there was a Immunity(means that he/she wouldn’t be voted off this week) for singing the best of the week or even the whole American Idol till the top 5(My imagination but hope it will come true).And what big plans that Crystal Bowersox said at the top10?

Tim should have gone. Simon saind he need singing lessons. That has got to be the biggest wakeup call an idol contestant in the top 12 can get. Why are people still voting for him? He can’t sing! Crystal to win!

I think America made the right choice this week, but I liked Katelyn and I did not think she should have been voted out. I was very surprised and disappointed. Also, I have to say Kasey James is so cute. I wish I was ten years younger and he was my man. However, I think the next one to go should be Andrew. Sorry, but he just doesn’t seem to be as good now as he was in the first few weeks.

One more thing, no matter who wins, I’m sure we will definitely hear Crystal, Lee, Casey, Mike, and maybe even Katy on the radio one day. Maybe even Lily and Michelle. Like one of yall said the winner isn’t always the bigger star.

HELL YES!

also for godsake this is a singing competition not how well you play guitar which again made it somewhat borring sorry I don’t mean to sound rude but I’ve been spoiled to the past seasons.

America definately got the result right. I am really disappointed this year with the finalists
Compared with previous years this is not up to the usual great standard. Can see why Simon feels he is ‘bored ‘ with American Idol.

i think crystal thinks she is better than everyone in the world,she can’t communicate,no personality and just boring,siobhan and casey are the best two singers,but even those two will never compare to adam lambert,adam will always be the best singer amercian idol ever had so far.

is ryan secrest and didi benami seeing each other,ryan’s face lights up when didi sings or when he talks to her,he is always grabbing her hand or hugging on her and he is very defenseive if the judges say any thing bad about her singing.is ryan and didi keeping a sercet from us,the viewers.

Personally, I think Casey, Didi and Siobhan are the best…:) But I don’t think Tim, Paige, Mike and Katie are the worst…no offence….Arron, Lee, Crystal and Andrew are ok..

Is ryan truly single? I think big Mike sounds gud but too aware of himself,crystal is gud but not for the billboards

Lee DeWyze THE BEST SINGER

But,then,I thought Adam was a sure winner.
I’m usually wrong.
I thought the #1 Canadian Idol was Mookie!

Tim Urban needed to be sent home….. Not Paige.

adam lambert hot! hot! hot! he will always be the best in histroy’s time, ilove you adam.thank you to the people who didn’t vote for katie,now i can enjoy watching amercian idol again,she never could sing,so glad to see her go.
