TVGuide.com put this season's AMERICAN IDOL final contestants on the spot by asking them such questions as 'Who's the hottest finalist?' and 'Who gave this season's best performance?' Check out their responses below!
The 11th season of AMERICAN IDOL came to a sensational conclusion last night as Phillip Phillips was crowned the winner during the live two-hour season finale on FOX. Phillips, 21, from Leesburg, GA, received the most of America's world record-shattering 132 million votes - the highest number in the show's history.
After four months and nearly 90 million votes, Season 11 of AMERICAN IDOL has its Top 2 finalists. Ryan announced that the first person to compete in Tuesday night's finale is Jessica Sanchez. The second person to compete is Phillip Phillips, meaning Joshua Ledet is heading home. In his farewell video, Joshua said that he's 'definitely proud' of himself for coming this far.
Last night, Joshua Ledet, Phillip Phillips and Jessica Sanchez were named the Top Three AMERICAN IDOL finalists. One of them will be crowned the next AMERICAN IDOL, but not before all three travel back to their hometowns, to see family, friends and fans.
Ryan announced that after 58 million votes had been counted, Elise, Hollie, and Skylar were in the bottom three, which meant that Jessica, Joshua, and Phillip were in the top three. Ryan quickly sent Skylar to safety, leaving Elise and Hollie in the bottom two. Then Elise was the last contestant standing.
On Thursday we found out that '80s night didn't turn out to be so awesome for DeAndre Brackensick, as the judges once again chose to not use their one save of the season on a contestant in jeopardy.
Erika Van Pelt was eliminated last night on AMERICAN IDOL after she received the fewest votes among the finalists. After her final performance, the three judges declined the opportunity to use their 'save' to keep Van Pelt on the show.
In the first live performance of AMERICAN IDOL's Season 11, the top semi-finalist guys performed live for America's vote. Reed Grimm, Adam Brock, Deandre Brackensick, Colton Dixon, Jeremy Rosado, Aaron Marcellus, Chase Likens, Creighton Fraker, Phillip Phillips, Eben Franckewitz, Heejun Han, and Joshua Ledet took the stage on Tuesday, and the judges agreed that America has some tough decisions to make.
As last night's AMERICAN IDOL concluded last night, host Ryan Seacrest introduced America to the Top 24 finalists. As the credits began to roll, judge Steven Tyler decided he wanted to take a dip, and went on to strip down and dive into the pool!
The AMERICAN IDOL auditions came to a spectacular conclusion last night as the judges' remaining picks for the semi-finalists were revealed. Jennifer, Randy and Steven have chosen their top contestants and will turn the power over to America when the LIVE shows and voting begin next week.
