Did I say American Idol 2012 Top 12 performances in the headline? Err. I meant Top 11. At least I think I do. We’re still waiting on the official word from FOX as they approach tonight’s worst kept secret regarding the disqualification of one of the season’s Top 12 Idol Hopefuls. The dismissed singer allegedly went back home and will not appear on stage tonight which should only leave us with 11 singers. Maybe FOX will surprise us with something, but considering tonight’s song list spoilers contained only 11 titles I think we’re safe to assume there will be no other big surprises. Well, aside from the “shocking” disqualification, of course.
See what other American Idol fans are saying right now on our Idol Facebook page and join us in our Idol chat room while we review tonight’s live show.
Ryan Seacrest immediately confirmed that “with the help of law enforcement” one of the singers was disqualified and sent home. Oh but they’ll wait to play that footage later in the show (Update: watch the clip here). Of course they will. Eventually Idol gets to this part of the show and sure enough, Jermaine Jones is gone and done. Nigel said they can’t have singers with outstanding warrants, so even if he had told the truth upfront it wouldn’t have mattered.
Ryan confirms there will still be an elimination on Thursday’s results show. Well, kinda. Seacrest said the singer with the lowest votes will “be at risk of elimination.” That means either no elimination because of Jermaine’s departure or the Judges Save could emerge again. Or maybe I’m reading too much in to it.

We’ve got a poll below for your favorite American Idol singer of the night. Share your thoughts in the comments section below!
Got to love my phil…he is amazing.
You’re amazing 🙂
Yeah, he really did great! It looked effortless. I’m interested in seeing what he can do when he’s full energy, full throttle.
He’s cute but not that amazing :>
Phil was just Okay…
Audiophile spoiler. 8.1 for Phil Phillips! That is his best yet. 🙂
Where’s the rest?! (-_~)
Jessica sounds good. What else is new? I just can’t connect with her for some reason.
jessica got a little screechy and some pitchiness at times…she was JUST ok.
I agree Mary. I hate to say it, but she was only average tonight!
it comes from youth i think. Phil knows who he wants to be, and has been singing professionally for some time. She is so young and her performances seem to follow the original artists’ arrangements.. she has the pipes, but i am not sure she knows what she really wants to sing.
Average is equivalent to underrated. She’s great. But i believe she could be excellent and that’s what the judges want from her that is why they gave her constructive criticisms :>
Just OK? I dont think so… she’s great last night. Even though the judges gave some constructive criticisms on her singing, she’s still far better than the other contestants who was given positive reviews by the judges. so can you imagine how Jessica could beat all the other contestants if she will upgrade her great performance to an excellent one? :>
Well I dont think she is better than all the contestins she was sent,home but remember the judges saved her. Joshia, phillip, skylar, holly, and elise are all better than,her I mean ya dhes good but shes not ready yet and I think peopl like her because shes young and she shows of her body way to much for a 16 year old.
Wow! Not the Jessica I am used to seeing!
jessica for the win .. she had a blast from her last two weeks out standing performances . this was OK and surely safe for next week.
Her youth is showing. Consistency.
Yes, she is safe. But I hope she comes back BIG next week.
Do you think Jessica was only OK on purpose? You know just to show people she is human?
Sorry, not able to watch yet. What did the judges say about Jessica? Phil? Thanks!
They loved Phillip and they thought Jessica was just alright 🙂
The vibrato of jessica kinda out of place for the song, as jlo said, sometimes vibrato doesnt apply to fast songs.
nahhh…she wanted to show people that she could sing something other than a ballad, and it just didn’t work…but great for trying and stepping out of her zone.
No, that would just be completely unnecessary. She went for it again, and this time it just didn’t pay off. She still did good, though. Just not GREAT.
i think it was on purpose..it is not advisable to peak this early..
Hmmmmm Heejun doesn’t sound good so far…
He sounded alright. He went high, and hit it. And his voice is soothing to listen to. He has a place in the competition still. But his fans are gonna want more from him soon, and I hope he can deliver.
too much air coming out of Heejun
heejun sings good, but i have to say that was boring…sorry.
he is… i think he will go home
I don’t think he’s going home just yet. He has a solid fan base. Not solid enough to get him the win, but he’ll go a little bit farther still. But once the real talent starts to shine, he may begin to wane. I say enjoy it for what it is, and look for more from him post-Idol.
of course… only one will win
🙁 Poor Heejun. He didn’t do well. That makes me so sad.
i agree with randy…its seemed so low key…and low energy.
Wow so far Elise is doing better than I thought she would!
yup love her tone
I am not sure about elise. I love this song…she is sounds ok..visually she always seems off to me…
Yeah Elise! That was AWESOME
Shes Ok!!!jessica sounded Good…Thanks for the Judges Though
wow!! elise was really good tonight… my fav performance by her so far.
Jessica’s Performance was Ok…Definitely she won’t Go Home tomorrow..
i am still trying to figure out the phil surgery thing. he had the surgery last thursday before the results show, so does that mean he met with jimmy about this weeks song before the results show? and he also said tonight he had the surgery thursday..so they prep for the next show even before they know they will be on it?
that’s a good catch…may be it was after the results but mmm they practice right after they know they are staying?..kinda weird.
but the surgery was reported before thursdays show…i wonder what kind of surgery..i hope it was just sound blasting…and not really surgery…i am worried about my Phil.
Mary, Phil had gallbladder surgery. Painful!
Phil had kidney stones! A little morphine for pain til the stone passes! Or maybe the stone was lazered. Either way a nice relief from the pain!
I like how Deandre’s mom said someone said Deandre would be on Idol after a performance when he was 4, aka 1998.
Didn’t Idol premiere 2002? Fortune tellers apparently.
wow i didn’t notice that! i think what she meant was after a performance a lady said that…
Haha, good catch. Perhaps she meant someone saw a video of a performance that he did when he was four and than said that. Just grasping, cause I’m such a fan.
this show is on a downward path…who can change this around? maybe they should let phil sing again.
i think hollie can take care of it!
maybe hollie and don’t forget skylar.
Its been around for 11 years. I am happy that the ratings didnt drop years ago.
come on.. get real phil..is only single dimension singer his voice seems not real many can voice like that too..his being trying hard
come on.. get real phil..is only single dimension singer his voice seems not real many can voice like that too..his being trying hard
Deandre did sing a boring song, but he sounded great because he didnt sing it all in a high pitch. And elise did very good this time around!
Did the judges like Deandre? I’m out West, can’t see it yet 🙁
They thought it was the wrong song.
They said he sounded good for having to sing a song he wasn’t really feeling. It was a bad song choice. I agreed. But keep voting for him everyone, we have to get him through to next week!
I agree with you on both accounts.
I do agree with the judges on Deandre’s song choice, it just wasn’t a good pick. But he still rolled with it and sounded good. I’m a big fan of his, but I am honestly scared for him tomorrow.
As for Elise, I thought she sounded amazing! That is a sexy tone, and she sang beautifully. The one thing I think is she’s letting the whole being in the bottom blues get into her head, it’s showing in the way she carries herself. I hope she can pull out of this funk and stay longer!
I think Shannon thinks she’s more powerful than she is.
Her tone is just… weird to me…
You’re so right on! I think she wants to be on par with Jessica and Hollie’s style of singing. She has to find her own genre, and make it her own, and than I think she will really shine. It may have been just a little too early to let her make Top 24. But hopefully she can make the most out of what advice and experience she can get out of this and come out stronger and more talented.
shannon has a nice voice. but i would have never selected this song for her….i am getting bored..
Hmmmmmm Shannon did pretty Good!! SO far Shannon and Elise are the only two who were impressive!
are you the shannonphile who post under different names like colton last week?
I said Shannon and Elise, not just Shannon -_-
that did not answer my question.
Oh sorry. No I am not the shannonphile. I just thought she did good tonight. If you ask me about her past performances you would see I am no fan of Shannon.
Mary, you’re such a bully. I wish there was a Hide button. I would hide all of your (many!) comments.
“turn the ship around, take us back to Bespin”
Gosh…why are they lying to shannon? that was horrible….I guess they just don’t want to throw her under the bus again, because after all she’s just 16.
and don’t forget her big dad….i think she did ok….she wasn’t horrible..but she is young. they should be kind.
Shannon really redeemed herself tonight.
Um has Colton always been that skinny? It’s kind of scary how thin he is…
I have nothing against Colton, but his voice is just too whiney for me. Just kind of a cliche punk band singer if you ask me. But he did decent tonight
Ok. So Colton is supposed to be the rocker cool dude tonight. I just cannot compare him to James Durbin or Adam Lambert. No offense but he’s just not in their league. Kind of a lounge singer rock wanna be. Just don’t get what the judges nor voters see in him. Mediocre at best but seems like a nice guy???
Yeah he just can’t live up to past rockers like Adam, Chris, James. I still think his sister sang FAR better than he ever will
I never looked at him as a “rocker”, especially not on the same level as Adam and James! Tonight, he opened his song beautifully, but as soon as the rock band kicked in, his voice was just too sweet and melodic to mesh with the hard edginess. I’ve said it before, and tonight’s performance reaffirms it, to me he has always just translated as an emo/alt dude, NOT a hard rocker. If he sticks to his style, I think he can do good. But of course, he’ll still get the little girls (and some guys) votes!
I have never liked this kind of rock…i do like colton, but i think this song missed…but maybe its the style i don’t like.
Great songs by all the singers so far.
I’m loving these updates. Keep them coming! I’ll probably shunt AI to the DVR at this rate, and watch it later. It’s still 2 hours until showtime on the Left Coast. Sigh. None of them have chosen the type of songs I’d hoped they would, so far…
ok please don’t take this wrong…this is not hating on colton…but the fake tough black leather, metal, stuff…it kind of came out of london in the 70’s then to the USA. but i think the drugs made it sound ok..durbin, to some extent lambert…it is a costume…its not what they are..its what they want to project. there is something really distracting about this facade…i think i could take colton and i am an old lady.
so tell me Mary. What exactly are they? 🙂
they are nice guys…they are not gang bangers or toughs…what’s wrong with being who you are? we fell for it in the 80’s but now it looks funny to me. colton is a nice looking kid..he can do all kinds of music…but his attempt to seem punk or alternative is whats holding him back.
Mary,
You sound old school.
Alternative Rock is the new Hair band kick. My tattoos speak for themselves. 🙂
alternative rock is old school..thats my point…sid vicious looked like that, but he was stoned all the time…there was a true angry alternative culture…dressing like sid don’t make you sid. whats wrong with being colton in the year 2012…its nastalgia for a time he never lived. what i thought was cool in 1977 i would not be caught dead in.
ooooh i love Jessica!!! She stepped up TWO notches for me and proved she is not just a ballad singer! FTW girl!!! Vote Vote Vote!!! Though the just had some criticisms, i am pretty sure she’s safe tomorrow :>
Ehhh…She is one of my favorites…but her preformance tonight was not that good.
Maybe because her last two performances were exceptional. her performance tonight was not exceptional but compared to the other singers in the current and past seasons, she’s still very good
I think with Jessica’s medicore preformance tonight, Hollie has a chance to capitalize. Hollie HAS to knock it out of the park tonight to become a front runner.
wait till jessica sing in the last spot… i know she will soon.. hollie is on the pimping zone wait……wait and see. but dnt get me wrong hollie’s ood
She sounds really uncomfortable with the higer notes. And at parts she sounded a bit nasaly.
havent seen the first part but I’m liking Tyler in this episode.
Guess the gentle Giant isn’t so gentle lol. I saw it on yahoo before the show hahaha. Jermaine’s speech also sounds strange.
HOLLIE HAS THE PIMP SPOT!!!!! I’m so excited for her!!
woooo hoooo! Go Hollie! Go Hollie!
praying for hollie..hopefully she’ll do amazing tackling celine dion. GO HOLLIE!!!
Jermaine was probably going to be one of the next ones to go home anyways…
sorry that Jermaine james gone .He really got a great voice.People make mistakes but the truth is always right.Best of luck to you Jermaine in the future.Don’t give up .
Shannon’s performance is shaky all over the song! that was not good!
Do you mean Skylar?
Nope Shannon
Sooooooo boring. I miss James.
dont ruin it for the rest of us! 🙁
He was rarely boring. You gotta admit that…
skylar didn’t wow..but she has a great country sound…i am not really liking this theme.
I love Sky, but I’m really on the fence with this one.
skylar!!!! 🙂
go go go go skylar she is gooooooooood
Where’s Holly on the performance list?
I believe she will be last, following Joshua.
hollie’s gonna sing when a man love a woman woah! Jessica sure pick the wrong song but i wish she wouldn’t be eliminated tomorrow
agreed. When a man loves a woman is a tough song to do. I have Audiophile ready and waiting to spit out Hollie’s results. I might spoil it. I usually dont post the results until the next night.
SalvX, you’re such a tool. Nobody cares about your audiophile bazaar, you fool.
Can’t wait for your results, Salv! I saw you said in an earlier post that PP did pretty good tonight.
Jessica will not be eliminated for sure :> she maybe picked the wrong song choice but her performance was still very good
your right jessica performance was good its not boring ….
Joshua was awesome, wow!!!
Joshua looks like a crocadile…
you look like a crocodile! 🙂
Well either way the crocadile can sang haha!
Come on Josh dont let me down!
Did anyone hear the rehersal clip of Jermaine. OMG he was slaying that song. Very unimpressed with everyone so far – I think Jermaine woukd have slayed the song. So bummed.
they love josh…he was not that good randy. he can sing, but he is hard to watch…kind of like reed.
Mary. You lose! Josh rocks! 🙂
maybe i should close my eyes and listen…lol.
I liked Reed. I think they made a huge mistake in letting him go. He would’ve added some excitement to the show. None of these contestants are willing to take chances like the ones last season. Reed Grimm is a talented entertainer…
100% disagree. It’s obvious that Reed does NOT belong to the top 12.
Mary: you are illiterate and pathetic, probably overweight too. Please stop posting.
Joshua absolutely KILLED it!
wooooooooo GO JOSHUA!! Amen brother!!!
I have a conspiracy theory for you. American Idol knew about Jermaine’s criminal past all along, and thats why they brought him back, to give him a dramatic exit and subsuqently a ratings boost.
i have read that on the web…some people are saying that. i actually posted that question earlier today on another thread here…you can never underestimate fox…or is it over estimate?
Interesting take and certainly possible. Still don’t understand what he did to get the warrants??
I’m sure that’s it. They’re ratings are hurting big time. I agree with your theory. Either that or the person who does the vetting of their contestants is the same one who vetted Sarah Palin for John McCain.
I just watched the exit interview and I was thinking the exact same thing. They made it such a dramatic, big deal and drew it out like it was all for the ratings. I don’t know. But, another part has to admit that if it was for ratings, they would have came out with this news last week after the results show so that all of America could have time to hear about the leak, and be FORCED to watch. Not sure what really went down, but I hope the best for him!
Cmon HOLLIEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hollie! Hollie! Hollie! Hollie!
Hollie has hair extensions?? LOL that’s awesome.KILL THAT SONG HOLLIE.
Go Hollie!
Joshua best of the night!!!!
Joshnu you it it tonight.Love the song .The way you sing you got it man.Good luck.
I miss joey crying all the time.
who?
maybe you’re referring to Jeremy….
Now, can’t Hollie sing some uptempo songs next time???
ARGGGGGGGGGH!!! My Cable went out before Hollie sang! How did she do?!?!??!
if i said i enjoyed it, not sure that would mean much to you…lol. but she did well..very strong voice.
🙂 Yes it means alot Mary. Audiophile spoiler. 9.3 for Hollie! I know how much you like Audiophile so I had to let you know first.
Very nice job Hollie…I loved her parents…she should be around for a while.
Hollie looks beautiful!! She sounds AMAZING. She has perfect stage presence. She KILLED it!!!!! I’m so proud to be a Holliepop!
Me too! I am a Hollie Pop as well! Dont tell my girlfriend. And as a grown man, I cant believe i just said I was a Hollie Pop. LOL
I know what you mean, it’s also kind of weird being a teenage boy saying I’m a Holliepop
1. Hollie
2. Joshua
3. Elise
4. Shannon
(GAP)
5. Erika
6. Skylar
7. Colton
8. Jessica
9. Phillip
10. Deandre
11. Heejun 🙁
Oh my. You included Shannon in your top four? :< she's pitchy. awful performance again! oh no. she might be heading home tomorrow or next week
I sure hope so. Either way, good list sean.
Ok time to vote for Phil.
I think elise and deandre will definitely be in the bottom three with one of them going home….erika might be the third…but not sure…
Still wait Hee Jun Suprise, can you sing with the upbeat song
Hollie was good also! But i was just wondering… can she sing uptempo songs? or is it more appropriate to say that she’s the one, and not Jessica, who is like Pia Toscano? that she can only sing ballad songs?
I bet Hollie sings a more upbeat song soon. She will have to. They will make her. But yes, I would say that Hollie must prove she can hold it together with upbeat songs as well. Pia’s rendition of “river deep, mountain high” was an upbeat song and it was the best I had ever heard.
I’m not surprised about Hollie’s score. Have you ever done a ranking on the two singers whose voices were once said to be two greatest instruments the world has ever known; Frank Sinatra and the one and only Ella Fitzgerald?
I want to hear Hollie sing an upbeat song too. I also like her. Im actually rooting for her and Jessica, of course
Frank Sinatra — 9.6. Ella Fitzgerald — Hmm…I have not done this one. She is kinda jazzy so Im curious. Ill have hers for you next week.
Also, your not going to believe this but someone is closing in on Aretha Franklin’s 9.9 record. After adding 95% of Christina Agularia’s stuff both live and studio to audiophile, she stands at 9.8234. Aretha is 9.912.
I think jessica just demonstrated that she can’t sing uptempo songs..we will see about hollie when she does.
Ow i think you’re wrong. I think Jessica just proved her versatility.
I think she tried to show versatility, it just didn’t work out..she should stick to what she does best, and that’s singing ballads, but I do give her points for trying something different..she will definitely still be there next week.
i don’t think joshua will have as much support as they think…i don’t think Heejun did that well, but he seems to have a following.
Jermaine also has fifteen cats at home to take care of. So at least they’re happy.
awww. I love cats! Check out my avatar!
Voting for hollie, joshua,phillip, elise, and I can’t believe I’m saying this for deandre..he’s turning me into a fan..going home probably shannon or heejun, I love heejun but his song was boring as all get out and his voice it’s just not that good.
My top 5 (in order of appearance):
1. Phillip
2. Elise
3. Skylar
4. Joshua
5. Hollie
Joshua was unbelievably amazing tonight. I don’t know how he can top that!
This season bores the hell out of me. Last year’s season is far better. and i miss the Haley Reinhart vibe! :((
Oh, yeah Haley was always a good for a show and sings great..I was always waiting to see what she does next..
Well here goes my bottom 3 predictions. These are just predictions and mostly not because of bad song choices but because of boring song choices.
Heejun- Pains me to say it as I really like Heejun, but he made a predictable song choice and had pitch problems, but to wager a guess he’ll make the tour but I don’t see him sticking around much longer.
Deandre- I like him and when he’s on form he’s good, but he was just boring tonight and his performance was pretty forgetable.
Shannon- Yes she sang better than what she did last week, but the performance was just boring.
Those are just my predictions. I can be wrong come tomorrow night.
Who I like and who had the best performances, not the same. Best performances tonight: Joshua, Jessica, Hollie, Phillip. Who I like: Heejun, Phillip, Hollie, Jessica, Joshua.
I agree
Vote Vote Vote for Jessica :>>>
Joshua was amazzzzing unbelievable. What a voice he has.
my ranking tonight
Joshua – A
Philip – B+
Hollie – B
Elise – B
Jessica – B-
Colton – B-
Skylar – C-
Erika – C-
Shannon – D
Heejun – D
Deandre – D
Bottom (based on perfrmance)
Deandre-heejun-shannon
Bottom (based on fanbase)
Erika-Elise-shannon
Who will go home?
-Shannon. 🙂
yay im glad shannon will be going home. so tired of her awful performances
shannon is the best she aint going nowhere.
i bet your a 11 year old girl.
and you like colton and jessica
jessica is beyond A+ for me 🙂
Maybe not anywhere near the performance of who I thought best (Joshua, Holly, Jessica) but Coltron sure made an unknown song into a real enjoyable listening experience. I voted for him to keep him on stage again.
hollie has the voice of an angel. i could fall alseep to her voice
But she might try some uptempo next time. so she’ll not be compared to Pia “the ballad singer”. just saying
Pia is more than a Ballad singer. Good God, listen to her other stuff.
Really enjoyed Joshua tonight; it was amazing how those Crawfish made him sing his heart out
Josh was the best of all,and he sung that song real good!
My top 5
1. Elise
2. Hallie
3. Jessica
4. Colton
5. Phillip
Bottom 3
1. Hee Jun
2. Shannon
3. Sadly, Erika 🙁
Where is Joshua in your list? He was the best BY FAR.
I don’t like his ‘style’. He may be good, but not on my top 5 list.
Shannon was the best of the night so no.
bottom 3
deandre safe
erika btm 2 elimanated
heejun btm 2
Shannon? Are you trolling, sir? She is probably the worst contestant in the past 4 years.
jessica did a great job,i just dont understand the judges 🙁
She MUST stay…
She’ll stay. Dont worry too much about our girl :> she did great! Dont always mind the judges. they also have their biases
yeah right..now im smilin..i love jessica so much…
they should let heejun be part of top 10 and join the tour…fans would be crazy to see him..
I agree. Heejun MUST be in the top 10!!!
I think Heejun has the fan base survive tomorrow night but I think unless he really changes things up his days will be numbered.
Dont forget to vote for JESSICA and HOLLIE :> I want these two gals in the finale
Jessica had to pull back a bit and let others shine. Joshua was great tonight and unfortunately outshadowed shannon and hollie. He reminds me of jacob lusk from last season but way likeable. I wish they had at least complimented jessica for her stage presence, that turn around in the middle of the song saying “Are you ready?” She’s a star. I disagree with steven tyler, she should mix it up and stay away from too much ballad.
I believe that is also a tactic of the show. down Jessica a little bit to let others shine. anyways, i am not worried about her for i know she’ll be safe
I thought Jessica did great tonight I don’t agree with the judges. They were saying she should stick to ballads when last year they were telling Pia to quit doing ballads. Really? I’m glad Jessica changed things up before the judges started whining about her doing nothing but ballads. In fact I think there’s a good number of contestants that they need to tell that to.
Those judges have their own biases. Im also glad she proved to the world that she’s not just a ballad singer 🙂
I really start getting confused every time the Judge’s starts to comment. Hahaha
Jessica didn’t disappoint me. People may say that its a good performance but for me I so love it. She really entertained me a while ago! Indeed, her versatility in singing is way beyond her years! Nevertheless, she’ll be safe tomorrow.
Yup she’ll be safe. And she’ll make us proud in the coming weeks ;>
Yep I agree Jay. I’m glad Jessica didn’t do another ballad. I think a good number of the contestants need to change things up and do more uptempo stuff I was pretty bored for most of the show.
I agree she is a good singer and that she will definately be safe. But just the mere fact that you have to bring up that she will be safe leads me to believe you are conceding this preformance was not as good as the others.
I have to agree with Randy, Heejun was def the worst tonight.. I don’t understand the craze people have for this guy. He has a pretty average voice if you ask me. The best tonight def goes to Joshua, he goes on that stage, sings his heart out like he wants to win. I appreciate that.
My Bottom Two:
1. Heejun: Like I said, his voice isn’t anything amazing, he’s an average singer with an annoying sense of humor.
2. Deandre: I didn’t connect with his performance at all tonight, boring song choice, and a bad song choice.
My Pick to go home:
1.Heejun: He hasn’t amazed me yet, and his performances are all the same and he tries to be funny. This isn’t American Jokes, it’s American Idol.
America’s Bottom Two:
1.Deandre: He’s a wild card pick, and he didn’t stand out.
2.Erika: She’s a wild card pick, and although I absolutely love her, she may be in danger. I really want her to stay, and if she does she needs to WOW everyone or else she’ll be next to go.
Who will go home:
I say it will be a close toss up between Erika and Deandre.
I like Heejun but I’ve got to agree that he needs to step it up. I don’t think he’s going to be eliminated tomorrow and that he will make the tour(I think he has the fan base to survive), but I won’t be surprised to see him in the bottom 3 tomorrow night and if I’m wrong and he does go home I won’t be that disappointed. He made a very predictable song choice and it was pretty boring. He’ll make the tour but his days are numbered. He could end up being like how Stefano was last season and end up in the bottom 3 every week until he finally goes home.
what is so neat about his voice is that it is coming from a guy like him. That is why he has made it this far. I like Heejun, but unless he steps it up he wont last much longer.
Who are the ones here who’ll be relieved if Shannon will be out of the show tomorrow night?! Comment! or hit like!
Shannon should stay are you kidding me.
She was the best tonight by far.
once again she amde it far and square to go touring.
she should not be cheated i might be changing websites here soon.
where one is far and says who did the best not choosing favs.
erika elise heejun jessica “Worst Attitude ever Horible song” worst of the night.
Ooooh you’re just bitter because shannon has limited singing capacity. she’s always having a hard time hitting the big notes. she’s nothing but tall and yes, pretty. period.
Phil and Holly – TOP 2!
Nope. Hollie and Jessica for the top 2
yes Hollie and Jessica FTW battling it out for the top spot.
Jessica was good maybe not the best song for her but she’s an awesome singer. I still LOVE her. And Josuha OMG he just blew me away I just LOVE his voice too!
i thought she did great..she handle it very very well..she’s a risk taker and total performer..:-)
Elise is in a class all to herself…
Sure safe from elimination : jessica,phil,hollie, and joshua
average: colton, skylar
in trouble : heejun, deandre
sure part of bottom : erika, elise, shannon
Shannon should leave!
And Phil I have to say for having surgey and going on stage he’s amazing. Did an awesome job. You know he wants this!
LIKE if you’re a fan of JESSICA and HOLLIE!!!
jessica only 🙂
That’s ok :> as long as you’re a fan of one of them. hahaha
I love Jessica Sanchez, she’s so versatile!!
Like! Like! Like!
Sad to see Jermaine go …come on what pop star doesn’t have dubious activities. As far as best tonight I loved Phillip and Colton. Going hope any girl but Jessica can leave and the show won’t be hurting.
Hollie & Jessica for the finals!!!! That would be a great face-off 🙂
agreed! Two girls in the finale! Has that ever happened???
Yes, in Season 3 when Fantasia won
JESSICA->> I STILL BELIEVE IN YOU… YOU CAN MAKE IT GIRL… FTW!!!
I would have liked to vote at least one more time, this way I could have voted for a guy singer also. You should allow us american voters to vote for the male and female singer of our choice. Thanks for a wonderful show.

As with many past seasons, some of the actual best talent did not make the cuts, so of the ones who did (the AI producers have covered the demographics quotas), there might be 2 or 3 worth listening to long term. I wish Simon was still a judge – apparently he’s the only judge who wouldn’t continually praise singers who virtually scream their songs from start to finish (hard on the ears). Just my opinion but… here’s how they could sort out talent wise (if you listen to versatility, and ability to sing all genres not just one favourite type of song):
Category 1 (Most talented, greatest range, voice control, listening appeal, would go to a concert and possibly buy their records):- Joshua L., – DeAndre B., – Joshua and DeAndre are ultra-talented – could come down to the two of them in the final- Erika V. P. (needs to be careful not to cut off her notes as she performs – has an original sultry voice – give her good songs and she’s a contender), – Elise T. (deserves better comments – she’s better than she’s being credited for if you listen carefully)Category 2 (on the right track but need more training):- Jessica S. (cute but a bit over rated – good but not great renditions of better artists- let’s see if she really can sing any type of song – test her range and make her sing other genres besides lady diva songs)Category 3 (the screamers):- Holly C (cute little girl, but just screams – average singer – reminiscent of Lauren Alaina being the “chosen one,” to advance further than deserving) – Phillip Phillips (hard on the ears – grating voice – sounds the same every song)- Skylar L (really nice girl/Reba clone – but has weak spots in her range too)Category 4 (shouldn’t have made the top cuts):- Heejun H (nice guy but really weak voice with breaking points)- Colton D (nice smile, cute teeny bopper appeal in tight jeans- but sounds the same in every song – weak bravado – he’s no Adam Lambert – not even close)- Shannon Migraine (gives one a headache – girl can’t sing – stick to volleyball)- None of the girls hold a candle to Melanie Amaro (XFactor), inspite of their fancy outfits and overdone lipgloss- As for the boys, Joshua and DeAndre rival some of past male winners.I think XFactor does it right – divide the talent into age categories – give older singers a better shake (notice on American Idol, how young the “chosen ones,” are?… whatever gives the show ratings…
I thought Jessica still did good, she just couldn’t show off as much with that song. Still better than pretty much everybody.
jessica wowed me..so amazing
jessica so amzing..vote
Shannon was great.
It gets to me if she dont do good everybody lets her have it when she does the best. everybody cant just say she had the best come on.
nope
Erika got a f for me her worst i ever heard.
deandre did bad i give him a dm
heejun was very horrible i give him a fmmmmmm
americans are not idiot.. they now what real talent is…
Guys, lets give Jessica a chance because even other American Idol winners are not consistent in their performance for the duration of their own respective seasons. I think her performance for tonight is just to show that she can also sing other types of songs and its OK at least it is not AWFUL! Vote for Jessica so we can prevent another Pia Toscano incident!!!!!
jessica the next american idol. very strong voice.
Suggestion for the Judges.
Giving constructive criticism may help the performer improve but it also influence how many people vote.
I for one would love to see how America Votes without your influence.
Try making your comments in private and let America decide just once.
Joshua and Hollie were by far the best of the night. The rest got killed by song choices and kidney stones…
Jessica Sanchez was my vote for the best
good job phil..
Watch Jessica next week… She will nail all the contestants with the song she will sing…
hollie cant do what jessica did..wait till hollie sing an upbeat song..i dont know what will it sound like..
jessica dont deserve what d judges critics.. she nailed it..and josh ican say is d one screaming out there it ends soo ugly
I almost hate watching this show anymore because the one that should win, always get kicked off…. What the h*** is that all about!!
I’m sure that the top 2 won’t have Jessica nor Hollie in it. Jessica seems overconfident and Hollie’s a little pitchy.. It’ll be a PhillipColton showdown!
I can’t agree with you more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Phillip and Colton FTW!!!!!
I am impressed with Phillip’s number despite performing 1st
i think the tone of his voice is limited not for many kinds of music
jessica is amazing…her voice is so strong and she can sing anything..oh my god.with her age 16……….so amazing and impressive…coz others are trying hard in singing,,,and jessica just eat their butts..omg,,,,my vote for you jessica all the way…keep humble and you will win
Jessica Sanchez rules! Philippines pride!
Best year ever. It’s getting hard to vote.All are sooooooooooo gooooood.
they do a very very very very great job but jessica do more than the others go go go go go jessica. Jessica for the win.
you R the best THE BEST 🙂
joshua is better than amy one on the show I thinl he should have won it b I t philip waz awsome but I think jessica was a little pitchy at some parts in the song but so was mrs.holiday.
