Update: Annie’s recap is live
I may be reaching here, but for me for you, Dawg, I think it’s Stefano going home tonight. Yep, that’s him in the picture. Don’t be fooled by the overall “I got dressed in Ryan’s closet”-ness of Stefano’s appearance. Or the rocks that Jenny’s got, but that’s a given.
Who will join Stefano on the stools of doom? Thia? Paul? I’ll update this post as soon as we know which two of the top 11 have been eliminated. Update:
Well, I was way off! Stefano was safe. Naima Adedapo and Thia Megia are going home. Paul McDonald joined them in the bottom three.
Discuss the American Idol results show here during and after the telecast, then come back later for my full recap and Adam’s on-the-scene report and exit interviews.
Check out EW’s Facebook page and “like” us (if you haven’t already) for access to exclusive video of the American Idols revealing who they would root for if they themselves were eliminated.

Based on yesterday’s performances, Thia and Paul.
Nice guesses jason, nailed 2 of the bottom 3.
Brotha-Sistah Jacob is such a diva! tee-hee!
Thia was amazing and did not deserve to go home tonight. I’m disappointed, America.
Is this the first time EVER on AI that we haven’t had an African American woman in the top 10?
NO. Last season (Crystal and Lee) we didn’t have a black woman finalist either. Paige Miles was eliminated in 11th I believe.
No, not Stefano! Maybe if he stays longer jlo can learn to pronounce his name correctly.
The only reason Stefano is safe is because the judges kissed his as* in front of the TV viewers. They are a little honest to the ones they want eliminated, but then they kiss up big time to their favorites.
You nailed it! Hint: Jacob
The reason Macy Gray-like Paul and vanilla Stefano stay around is because tweenage girls rule the voting.
3 girls left!
haha, yeah I’m like STEPH UH NO?? What?
I like him though, however I do not like Jacob.
I can’t listen to that song without thinking of the SNL skit “solid! Solid as Barack!”
LOL!
OMG!! I thought I was the only one. When they sang the chorus, I couldn’t stop singing that part. “Solid as a Rock” is forever ruined for me by SNL, ruined in a good way.
haha! i forgot about that, hilarious!
Stefano will not go home It will be Naima for sure
Does anyone dislike Naima as much as I do!?
You’re not alone. My mom and I both can’t stand her.
After Naima BUTCHERED “What’s love got to do with it?” she lost all credibility in my house. Although, I didn’t think she would be sent home tonight, her performance of “I’m still standing” was atrocious! She didn’t deserve to be there another week.
I’m with you! I couln’t belive they pick Naima and let out other singers.
No, she was the most authentic and alive person on the show. The rest are so artificial.
It’s true, except for Pia!
Me!!! I dislike her. But Lauren takes the cake as my favorite person to dislike
Love Fantasia..love this song!! Love her Jessica Rabbit look!
I thought she looked horrible.
OMG – All I can imagine is contestants sitting on the couch in horror, wondering if this is what ‘winning’ American Idol means.
Great comment!
Every time I see Fantasia, I wonder what “train wreck” is coming next!
What was that awful warbling coming from my TV? How on earth did Fantasia ever win? Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard.
Are you listening to this hot mess of Teenage Dream? Nails…chalkboard..right here!
Trust me, that was just as awful. Then again, the song is just awful to begin with.
Fantasia was brilliant She took everyone there to school.
Hated it.
Not!
Wendeeloo, what school was, for the deaf and blind?
i hope stefano will stay. i think thia will go home
Kick out these two and call it a night.
Not home!! Who is safe so far??
Bottom–naima & Thia.
I’m thinking Naima and Paul
I love that Marc Anthony has nothing better to do!
TNT show ‘Hawthorne’. My mistake.
again, please, could you mention names and songs when you’re commenting, for the benefit of us folks without a live feed? It’s really appreciated…
Paul, Thia, Naima..bottom 3
I’m sad to see Naima go, however she stunk up the place last night. THRILLED that Paul is in the bottom – let’s send him and his whisper packing next week. But, considering he’s a guy I am sure that wont happen.
Wow. They are so not the Beatles.
Technically, that was just Paul McCartney and Wings. But yeah, it was a little rough.
Yes, of course. And they are not Paul McCartney and Wings, either.
I hated that performance, and I cringed in every single one.
not sure who will go, prob Naima & Thia, although for me Paul was once again dull & poor and should be gone
I Love Paul….Jacob should Goooo
