American Idol Top 11 -Elton John Week

GOOD BYE NIAMA & THIA...

Usually at this stage it is the top 10, but because of last week's save, the top 11 contestants performed for the judges Wednesday night. The theme for the week was Elton John songs, which I really enjoyed. This week two, because of the save, will go home. Here's a list of the songs sang by each contestant.

Scotty McCreery- 'Country Comfort'
Naima Adedapo- 'I'm Still Standing'
Paul McDonald- 'Rocket Man'
Pia Toscano- 'Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me'
Stefano Langone- 'Tiny Dancer'
Lauren Alania- 'Candle in the Wind'
James Durbin- 'Saturday Night's All Right'
Thia Megia- 'Daniel'
Casey Abrams- 'Your Song'
Jacob Lusk- 'Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word'
Haley Reinhart- 'Bennie and the Jets'

I have to agree with Randy Jackson and say that Haley Reinhart was the best of the night singing "Bennie and the Jets". Below is a clip of her performance, she won be over on this performance alone!


The results show Thursday evening featured dull performances by former Idol Fantasia and Jamie Foxx and will.i.am. The bottom three contestants consisted of Thia, Niamia, and Paul. Thia & Niamia got the boot, THANK GOD! My beloved Paul almost went home! I will definitely be upping the votes for him because I don't want to loose him this early! Overall, I think it was a week full of great performances & most importantly Haley moved up the competition, she rocked it this week!
Over 55 million viewers casted their votes this week following Wednesdays performances, setting a new Idol record for this stage of the competition according to Ryan Seacrest.
