The Top Five will sing a song chosen for them by the viewers at home in the "America's Request"-themed performance show.

Tonight, in an emotional send-off, C.J. Harris was eliminated on American Idol XIII, after receiving the fewest votes. From Jasper, AL, the 23-year-old sang "American Woman" and "Whatever It Is" on last night's performance show.
