Over 37 millions votes were cast last night, the most of the season so far.
Fantasia, winner of the third season of American Idol in 2004, performed her song Bittersweet. The song is the new single from her album that will be landing in stores this summer, the first in three years.
Another familiar face to Idol, Daughtry performed their new song September. He was the fourth-place finalist on the fifth season. Seeing how much he has accomplished is encouraging to those do not win Idol, or even make it into the top 3.
Before revealing who was being eliminated tonight, Bon Jovi performed their song Superman Tonight. They are the #1 touring band in the world.
The Top 3:
- Casey James
- Lee DeWyze
- Crystal Bowersox
So that means, unfortunately, that Michael “Big Mike” Lynche was eliminated. We fell in love with his story, becoming a father in front of America, and now we love him as an artist. Goodbye, Mike! Hopefully, he follows in Chris Daughtry’s footsteps and becomes a successful artist after being #4 on Idol.
