BOTTOM THREE
It was a talent-packed elimination night on American Idol. Taking the stage on the hit FOX reality show were Sons of Sylvia, Lady Antebellum, Rascal Flatts and Shakira.
The Top 6 were divided into two group last night. Those sent to safety were Crystal Bowersox, Aaron Kelly and Lee DeWyze. In the bottom three were Michael Lynche, Siobhan Magnus and Casey James. See all of their Tuesday performance videos here.
Casey was the first sent back to join the rest of the group and then the hammer dropped when Big Mike also got a reprieve and Siobhan got the bad news that she was going home.
The quirky and unconventional Magnus sang “Think” as her parting gift to her fan base, working the stage and actually getting into the judges faces at one point. There were hugs all around as the show ended…and the stoic Siobhan was dry-eyed throughout.
That leaves us with just five remaining contestants who will be mentored next week by Harry Connick Jr. They will be selecting tunes from the Frank Sinatra songbook.
Check out photos, Siobhan’s elimination, her swan song, and all of last night’s great guest entertainment in the videos below:
