I didn't watch the show tonight, but reviewing the last 6 pages of comments at MJBB, it seems the general consensus is that PP did poorly.

Just looking at Phillip Phillip's is exciting... That was funky! He is such a dope artist.. Probably my fav performance of P2 ever!!! #Idol
Wonder whose handwriting this is? These set-lists are obviously for public consumption and would be much easier to produce on a computer.

Joshua Ledet versus Haley and other Idols
Hollywood.com:
Quote:Over the course of its 11 seasons, American Idol has produced a healthy supply of classic Idols. I’m not talking about the Carrie Underwoods or Jennifer Hudsons, superstars who, during their tenure on the show, only teased their future abilities, making us unsure as to whether they actually did have a shot to become an A-lister after the glitz of reality TV wore off. I’m talking about the classic Idols who not only accumulated an overzealous fanbase, but also managed to make an already addictive Idol even more intriguing, no matter their success level following the show. I’m referring Kelly Clarkson, Clay Aiken, Ruben Studdard, Fantasia, Bo Bice, David Cook, Kris Allen, Adam Lambert, Haley Reinhart, and, yes, I’d even say Blake Lewis,
...these Idols might not have been the most successful to grace the stage (Kelly withstanding), but they certainly were the most entertaining. They blew us away with their passion and talent, and drew us in even further with intriguing personalities. If we brought this to a rank, they might very well make up my Top 10, if we’re solely counting entertainment value on the Idol stage. So it’s surprising to hear the judges’ panel rank Joshua Ledet as one of the two best Idols of all time, when I’d be hard pressed to find him a spot in the Top 20.
...week in and week out, our judges give him standing ovations for churning out performances more fit for season 3 than a post-David Cook season 11. Not only that, but they named him one of the best singers to ever exist in 50 years. So, sorry, Aretha Franklin, Freddie Mercury, Michael Jackson, and Beyoncé. Joshua, a star of a reality show on a network that made a name for itself airing a show about bored police officers that bust drunk idiots, has got you had.

Yes, I think he'll go home tonight. Bad versions of the original songs

One can only hope. But the judges continued to fawn over his alleged
"artistry" and he is a cute WGWG. I thought his audition displayed nothing but destructive versions of some good songs, and he made to Hollywood.
But, hopefully, you are correct that last night would be his last time to do "bad versions of original songs" '' at least, on AI.

I have a confession to make...I've been watching Idol Season 11 even though I declared a boycott earlier. I needed a reason to take down my foam brick from the shelve for throwing at the TV. Which is why I have quite the arm now, because every appearance of the 'damn dawg' that brick hits the mark. You know you're not supposed to kick the dog, but you can throw a foam brick at one...they actually think it's a play thing.
Anyway, I digressed...actually my wife wants to watch it after we have recorded it on the DVR so we don't have to watch the 45 minutes of commercials. She is a big P2 fan, likes everything he does. I've noticed they are handing out Standing Os like it's candy this year. I mean how many SOs does Joshua have this season...8-10? And we're only at the Top 5.
When Jlo declared Joshua was maybe the greatest singer in the past 50 years my Uncle Nigel alarm went off. It's not a conspiracy theory if they are actually manipulating the results. As Haliens we all know what Uncle Nigel is capable of.
Idol is now faced with 3 or 4 competing reality singing competitions. What does Idol have that the rest lack? Idol has a stable of successful artists they can proudly point to. Does it seem to the rest of you that Idol is starting to promote their former contestants a lot more. How many former contestants have come back to perform this season...7-10? Even a seventh place finisher from last year's show gets a returning gig...well Stefano is on a roll.
Checking Jlo's notes from my viewing angle I think I see a new judging trend of trying to minimize the WGWG (White guy with guitar) in the last couple of episodes in favor of Uncle Nigel's preferred outcome. The WGWG formula did not produce huge artistic results in record sales in the past...see Kris Allen and Lee Dewyze. I think Idol is worried that another WGWG who is popular with the young teen girls is looking like the eventual winner. I think they are trying to do something that will alter that outcome.

Yes...hands down last night I thought he was the worse of the bunch, but I think he has the largest fan base of all the contestants. Thus, I won't be surprised if he isn't even in the final three (maybe final 2 if they do it like last year), but nevertheless I do agree that he is the one that deserves to go home after last night.

...Speaking of Jennifer, her lack of encouraging and comforting words with Skylar postshow seemed a little cold, and Skylar agreed it was a little weird.
"Jennifer didn't say much to me at the end," she spilled. "She just said, 'See you later.' She was [short], but Steven [Tyler] is a known fan of mine, and him and Randy [Jackson] both told me I'll have a long career. I also heard that Carrie Underwood said to someone that the country music community has already welcomed me with open arms, and that means a lot to me."
