AMERICAN IDOL Sinks to All-Time Ratings Low

Last night, FOX's American Idol earned a series ratings low, delivering only 11 million viewers overall for its Thursday night broadcast. Even more surprising, the show only scored a 2.5 rating among the all-important adults 18-49 demographic, representing a 7 percent dip from last week's show.

On last night's show it was revealed that the Top 3 finalists were Candice Glover, Kree Harrison and Angie Miller. In a surprising twist unveiled last week, votes were combined from the Wednesday night performance shows on April 24 and May 1 in a special American Idol two-week showdown. Host Ryan Seacrest revealed that Holcomb, 19, received the least number of votes for those two weeks and was sent home.
