We already had one singer eliminated this week on American Idol when the producers sent Jermaine Jones home because of his lack of revealing his criminal history, but now we will see another singer eliminated tonight as we work our way down to the Top 10 that will tour America this summer.

We find out Tommy Hilfiger has joined the show as an image advisor...just another way to waste some time...he will start dressing the singers next week. Now time to get to some results: Ryan calls up Phillip Phillips, Skylar Laine, Elise Testone and Joshua Ledet...this group all did amazing last night, so are they all safe? Joshua is safe...Phillip is safe...Skylar is safe and Elise is in the bottom three (ugh, she can't get any voters out here because she did amazing last night...you screwed up America)!

Demi Lovato comes out for a performance, which was kind of horrendous, and then we get back to the results. Ryan calls down Colton Dixon, Shannon Magrane, DeAndre Brackensick and Jessica Sanchez. Colton is safe...Jessica is safe...DeAndre is safe, so Shannon joins Elise in the bottom three (my pick was correct for her...I have her going home tonight).

Now it is time for Daughtry to take the stage and give us another live performance on the show...they do an excellent job though! Now time for the final three to come up and join Ryan: Hollie Cavanagh, Erika Van Pelt and Heejun Han. Hollie is safe...Heejun is safe, which means Erika is in the final three (I picked it right again, even though I love her too)!

So, the bottom three tonight is Elise, Shannon and Erika...the judges are not happy that Elise is in the bottom three. On that note, Ryan says Elise is safe and will be joining the others on the tour this summer. That leaves us with Shannon (I take on big songs, but am boring) and Erika (I have a great voice, but no one wants to vote for me). After the nationwide vote, Erika is safe (YAY!) and Shannon will sing for her life and see if the judges will use their save (I doubt it). I feel she sang it better tonight than last night and had much more emotion behind it, but given the situation you can't blame her. The judges thought about it and they will not use the save tonight...she is going home (I picked it right everyone).

American Idol airs on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8/7c on FOX.
