The American Idol Top 3 were revealed on the May 12th episode. The American Idol Top 3 will all head home for the May 18th episode, depicting them in their hometowns in one of the more interesting episodes thatIdol presents during the season. The American Idol Top 3 for 2010 are Crystal Bowersox, Lee DeWyze, and Casey James.
It may be a surprising final three, but it still has two of the favorites that had been projected to possibly win the ninth season of American Idol. Now the final three contestants will really have the pressure turned on in the final four episodes of the showAmerica chose its “American Idol” Top 3 last night, when another contestant unfortunately kissed goodbye to their dream of becoming the season 9 winner. As you can imagine, tensions were high between the final four as they waited to hear whether or not they’d made it through.
Before we get to the results and who got eliminated this week, there are a few guest musical performances that I have to mention. And the very first of these performances, was by “American Idol” season 3 winner Fantasia Barrino, who performed “Bittersweet.”
The second guest performance of the night was from Daughtry, who performed “September.” Chris Daughtry is another former “American Idol” contestant, who has definitely made a name for himself since being eliminated from the competition on season 5 back in 2006.
And the final guest performance of the episode was from Bon Jovi, who sang “Superman Tonight.” Finally it came down to the moment everyone had been waiting for, the results. Casey James was the first singer to be told by host Ryan Seacrest that he was safe and in the Top 3.
Ryan then told Lee DeWyze that he too was safe and through to sing again next week. That just left Crystal Bowersox and Big Mike Lynche. Crystal was then told she was safe and in the “American Idol” Top 3, which left Michael Lynche as the unfortunate eliminated contestant.
Speaking to Ryan Seacrest, Michael said that he was grateful for making it this far in the competition, considering he had been voted off the show weeks ago but was saved by the judges. What do you think of this week’s results? Did the right person get eliminated?
