The top 3 performed in American Idol Season 11 Episode 37. Tonight 1 more will be sent home. Eventually. But not very quickly.
This is a tough one to call. The problem is that Hollie and Elise so monopolized the bottom 3 this season with 6 appearances each that it hasn’t really given anybody an opportunity to view exactly how the public thinks about any of the three that remain. Realistically, any of the three could go home. Jessica’s already been eliminated once, though she’s been safe ever since, and Joshua has found himself in the bottom three as well. The only untouchable performer of the season has been Phil. If this is about singing, Phil’s toast, but American Idol never was a singing competition. Even Steven says it doesn’t matter if you hit all the notes.
11 minutes in, Seacrest tells us we’re going to get serious and get to some results. Yeah, sure. Go ahead. Go to the bathroom. Then make a souffle. You won’t miss anything.
Jessica Sanchez is the first person to make it into the finale. She will be competing against Phillip Phillips. Joshua Ledet has been eliminated.
Next week, finale week, will have a different schedule, with the show concluding on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of American Idol Season 11 Episode 39, which airs Tuesday at 8/7c on Fox.
