Over 47 million votes were cast last night to decide who will go to next week’s finale.
The contestants went over footage from when they returned to their hometowns. Casey James went to Texas where a sea of screaming teenage girls were waiting for him. He even signed some lady’s dog. Casey also visited the hospital that saved his life after he was in a serious accident.
Crystal Bowersox returned to Toledo, Ohio. She signed some grungy guys chest. Crystal received the key to city after having her own parade. She also had a family BBQ where she saw her son and then continued on to her concert called “Bowerstock.” She was brought to tear watching her footage.
Lee DeWyze came home to Chicago, Illinois. Lots of screaming girls and women met him. He got to throw the first pitch at a Cubs game. He returned to his elementary school where he got to see his 1st grade teacher. The paint shop that he formally worked at received some free advertisement as he returned to see it.
Travis Garland, discovered on the internet by Perez Hilton (who was at Idol tonight), performed his song Believe.
Justin Bieber also performed his songs U Smile and Baby. He had some fancy dance moves to go along with his singing. He also performed his own drum solo.
It was announced that auditions will be going to Jersey City, San Fransisco, Nashville, and New Orleans this summer. More details will be posted at AmericanIdol.com
Finally, the results. Lee DeWyze and Crystal Bowersox are safe and will be competing next week to take the whole thing. Casey James is returning home.
