Westlake’s Ledet makes singing show’s final five

...Weeks like that one helped soften the blow a few weeks later when Ledet found himself in the bottom three after the nationwide voting by viewers via telephone calls, texting and online. This meant he or one of the other two at the bottom was in danger of leaving the show. In the end, the judges used their one “save” for the season to keep fellow contestant Jessica Sanchez on the show.

“I kind of don’t look at it in a bad way (being at the bottom). I just brush it off,” Ledet said. “I remember Haley (Reinhart) from last season, she was in the bottom three week after week, and she made it all the way to the top three, so I don’t let that bother me or affect me. I just keep my head up and just keep pushing harder and striving for that number one spot.”
