The top 11 performed again in American Idol Season 10 Episode 22. Tonight two will go home.
Naima’s days have been numbered for some time, and she didn’t do herself any favors last night. Paul’s been questionable for weeks, but like Sanjaya, I don’t think it matters. Thia and Stefano seem to have lost favor, and Lauren wasn’t very high up the totem pole to begin with. Haley may actually be safe for a change. Casey’s shock bottom place finish last week is unlikely to happen again, not now anyway.
Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina step forward first. They are both safe.
Naima Adedapo and Jacob Lusk are up next. Opposite ends of the spectrum here. It goes without saying that Jacob is safe, while Naima is in danger.
Fantasia’s apparently still singing. Well, thanks for giving me something to fast forward.
Pia Toscano, Thia Megia, and Haley Reinhart step forward. Pia’s clearly safe in spite of and/or because of the fact that she ignored Randy’s advice. Any other week, I’d say Haley’s in the bottom, but her rave reviews from the judges may have saved her. So it is, with Thia falling into the bottom three.
Now the boys. Paul McDonald, Casey Abrams, James Durbin, and Stefano Langone are the last people to go up. Somehow, Stefano is safe, while Paul is not. Been waiting for that for weeks but didn’t think I’d see it so soon.
That leaves Naima, Thia, and Paul in the bottom three. Paul is safe. It’s the end of the road for Thia and Naima.
