It was elimination night on the hit FOX reality show American Idol. The performances of the Top 7 on Wednesday night pleased the judges, who were light on criticism and quick to praise … their usual MO during Season 10.
Performance night shaped up to include a few interesting moments… including a fake beard, a stolen kiss and an F-bomb.
Rumors have been swirling that this might be the one and only season for judge Jennifer Lopez. She is currently negotiating a reality talent show of her own.
The remaining contestants up for possible elimination, with 52 million votes cast: Scotty McCreery, James Durbin, Haley Reinhard, Jacob Lusk, Casey Abrams, Stefano Langone, and Lauren Alaina.
Landing in the bottom three were Haley, Jacob and Stefano. The only girl in the trio was sent back to safety without fanfare. Heading home this week is Stefano Langone.
