On last night's episode of Fox's AMERICAN IDOL, finalist Elise Testone chose to sing the classic Al Green song "Let's Stay Together", a tune that President Obama recently sang at a fundraising event at Harlem's famed Apollo Theater. The show's producers decided to show a split-screen duet featuring the 28-year old New Jersey contestant and the President crooning the number.

Also on last night's show, the Top 12 was reduced to the Top 11 as "gentle giant" Jermaine Jones was eliminated from the competition for failing to disclose criminal charges against him. Since Jermaine still has four active warrants out for his arrest - and because he failed to come clean from the beginning - Idol producers had no choice but to let him go. As for the remaining contestants, they each sang a song from the year they were born, and while some had a "moment," others might be in a little bit of trouble. Tonight America finds out who made the Top 10 - and who's going on the American Idol summer tour.
