american idol 715
Thank you very much.
I'm ryan seacrest.
Thursday night which can mean only one thing.
The end of the line for four very brave contestants.
Yeah, i know. It has to happen.
Your support was unprecedented last night.
Almost 31 million votes came in. Well-Done.
But what will those numbers mean to your favorites?
Will our judges agree? Here they are.
Put your hands together for
Randy jackson.
Paula abdul.
Thank you.
And simon cowell.
Randy, we had themes over the last couple of weeks.
What is the purpose of that?
I think you know it's like we know that
Everyone here probably knows every song that is on the radio, ryan. But...
Can you go back from yesteryear,
I mean, me personally, i can say for the judges,
We think the music was a little better,
????
To see if they can work out on those songs from yesteryear.
Paula is it tough to give up control
Now that america is in control in voting,
It is tougher for him. Tougher for him.
But he did a great job in getting us these great contestants.
Absolutely.
We are all responsible for putting
These wonderfulfully talented contestants forward.
But the truth is,um...
I hate that they are terrified to go in front of us.
Especially this one.
But you know, it is about connecting with america.
And the tv viewing audience.
You all know that.
And simon, you know my mother connie.
She pointed out something to me.
What did she point out, ryan? What did she point out?
She said she has been watching the show.
She noticed you were doing something during the show.
I have no idea what it is. I have no idea what it is.
I know what it was. What might it be, ryan?
A couple of pictures from the last couple of shows.
Pull up the first one.
It is like the fhalf moose.
It is a code.
????
Is there one more?
???
Is it a language you are speaking?
Yes it is a secret code, ryan.
Which i will explain to you.
Explain it, simon.
There is a gesture i could give you but i won't.
The happy family, friends.
All right. We will get the results very soon.
Plus, we have important idol news for you.
But first, the contestants are going to take over the stage
And celebrate the sounds of the 70's.
It is your american idol top 20.

Welcome back to "american idol."
Time to get to the results.
The girls have to sweat it out
For a little while longer here
In the audience.
Because we are gonna start with the guys.
Here is a look at the highlights from tuesday's show.
Tuesday night, the pressure was on for our top ten guys.
As they rocked the stage with classic songs from the 70's.
* when you know my name *
* when you know my name, chikezie, baby *
Chikezie is back, america! In it to win it chikezie!
* come on, baby, can you do more than dance,
I'm hot-Blooded, i'm hot-Blooded *
* all right now, *
* baby, it's all right now *
You don't have a lot of charisma
I don't have to win you over with my charisma.
I got to win these people over.
David, i think i know by now
The rules of this competition.
I actually kind of feel bad at the moment.
I feel like i offended simon.
I didn't mean to.So...
* you can go your own way, *
* go your own way *
You got the whole crowd working.
You are charismatic. And you are charming.
And i think you are already there. Thank you.
* she's a killer queen *
* ???? *
* guaranteed to blow your mind *
* ???? *
I don't know what you were doing there.
It was like you were drunk at a party or something
With that ghastly performance.
* i just want to be your everything *
* open up the heaven in your heart and let me see *
* ???? *
Last week i think was a disaster.
You agreed with me?
???Kind of. ???
Try and say it without moving your head.
Did you agree with me? No, he can't.
???
* papa was a rolling stone,
Wherever he laid his hat was his home *
???
David, this may surprise you
But in my opinion, that was the best vocal of the night so far.
??I'm so excited.
I'm going to cry now.
* imagine all the people *
* sharing for the world?? *
That was one of the most beautiful songs ever written
And one of the most moving performances i have ever heard.
So who moved you, america?
It is time for your results.
Here they are. The guys.
Second time around on this stage for eliminations.
Luke, is it any easier this week?
- No. - No???
Still as nervous? Jason, nervous?
Yeah.
??All right. Ten very talented guys here.
But two have to leave us tonight. Who is going to be first?
Dim the lights. Here we go.
Back row.
Would you please stand up.
Jason yeager,
Danny,
Chikezie,
Jason castro,
??Michael.
Michael,
Take a seat. You are safe.
Relax.
Chikezie had his ups and downs on the show.
The good and the bad from the judges.
Chikezie,
You are safe. Take a seat.
Jason castro,
I have bad news for you.
I will have to chat with you next week more??
Because you are safe. ??
Brush up on interviewing skills.
That leaves us with jason yeager and danny noriega.
One of you is leaving us tonight.
The other, of course, is staying.??
America voted.
Jason,
It is the end of the journey for you tonight on "american idol."
Danny, you are safe.
Give it up for jason, ladies and gentlemen.
Jason yeager,
Now, i can kind of see it in your face after the performance,
??It was tough for you to hear what they had to say.
Did you feel like you might be standing here tonight?
Well, ??I mean,
Based on the criticism and everything, yeah,
??I had a feeling i would be in the bottom there coming up thursday.
I tried to mentally prepare for it.??
Tried to give it my best shot next week.
??I don't have that chance.
What is the best advice you ??Can take from the judges?
You know, last tuesday,
??I felt like i honestly put everything out there for me.
I was really surprised by their criticism.
I know the first week ??I was really nervous.
??I'm sure everybody was.??
Song choice, you know,
I'm finding that a really perfect song that showcases your vocals.
??I don't think i was able to do that.
Simon, ??
What do you think he should do from here on out?
Oh, god.
You need a heck of a lot of experience.
Your problem is, jason, quite simply,
??You don't stand out in the crowd at the moment.
So that is difficult.
Comes down to charisma, personality, stage presence.
??You are not a bad singer.
- ??You don't stand out. - Not at all.
??Thanks for being on the show.
Good luck in the future. We will ask you to sing one more time.
- ?? - Ladies and gentlemen,
On the idol stage, jason yeager. Good luck.
* ??Down the corner *
* half a mile from here *
* ?? *
* ??You watch them disappear *
* without love *
* where would you be right now *
* without love *
* when i saw miss lucy *
* ?? *
* she lost her home and her family *
* she won't be coming back *
* ?? *
* where would you be right now?? *
* without love *
* ?? *
* ??? *
* ?? *
* without love *
* where would you be right now *
* without love *
* ooh, where would you be now *
* ?? *
* ??? *
Jason yeager.
Good luck.??
??Thank you very much.
Three more times we have to do that tonight.
It is not going to get any easier.
Take a look at the front row that moved up here.
These guys here.
We will find out ??Who's going home next.
Stay with us on "american idol."
??The results.
We have lost jason yagier.
??Three more people have to join him.
The ladies are up next.
They put on a great show last night.
Roll the highlights.
The guys were on fire on tuesday.
So the girls had a lot to live up to.
Once again, they were up to the challenge
As they turned back the clock and got their groove on, 70's style.
* crazy on you *
I think you are--
I'll put it on record-- An incredible singer.
I think you are the girl they have to beat. I genuinely do.
Thank you.
??I'm so pleased. I had so much fun.
* ??Me and mr. Jones *
* ??You're n good * * you're no good *
* baby, you're no good *
Well, man, all i can tell you is that 100% improvement over last week.
- I liked it. - ??
* baby *
* my heart is full of love * * and desire for you *
* ??Do what you have to do *
* you're so vain *
* you probably think * * this song is about you *
* ?? *
I have to ask you. Paula and i were looking at each other.£¿£¿
You were looking?? At the judges' panel.
??Was this song about someone up here,
Maybe another guy other than me?
I don't know.
Brooke, i absolutely loved it.
* come on home, girl * * he said with a smile *
* you don't have to love me *
* let's get high awhile *
* ??Carry on my wayward son *
* there'll be peace * * when you are done *
Everything felt contrived from what you wear
From this terrible hair, from the indulgent song.
??I couldn't wait for it to finish.
They don't like it, they don't like it, you know.
??
* my head is saying fool *
* forget him *
* my heart is saying don't let go *
I actually think you are one of the dark horses in this competition.
I like you more now than i did a couple of weeks ago.
* ooh, baby please don't go *
* ooh, boy * * i just want you to stay *
You got mad vocal skills.
To me, you are one of my favorite performers
In this whole top 20-Whatever.
* don't want to be by myself * * by myself *
* anymore *
??You did a really good job with it, i thought.
Nice.
??The ending, that is what counts on this song.
- The ending brought it home. - You brought it home.
And speaking of home, two girls are out.
And the results are in, america.
Last week, the ladies were very emotional.
Here we go again.
Dim the lights. Results coming at you.
Back row, please stand up.
Kristy,
Amanda,

That leaves us with amanda and alexandrea.
One of you is safe.
And the other is going home.
After the nationwide vote,
Alexandrea,
It is the end of the road for you tonight.
Amanda, you are safe.
Alexandrea lushington, everybody.
Come on up here.
Randall pinkstony???, is this the right choice?
To me, it is not the right choice.
Listen. Here is the problem.
You are a great singer. You have great skills.
You picked the wrong songs. The wrong time for that.
You needed to shine every time.
Guess what? It is not the end.
It is never the end on this show.
It is the beginning.
The beginning of your career.
So go rock it.
You always seem to have fun. I know this is tough tonight.
It felt like you did enjoy each and every week on the show.
I did. It was a lot of fun.
Up until tonight, of course.
Oh, man.
It is weird to be in the moment. Isn't it?
Yes.
Well, thank you for everything you brought to the show.
Thank you guys.
Your family, your energy.
Your big family.
Great grandma.
You were supposed to bring her to california.
I know ???
This is just the beginning.
- Instead ??? - This is just the beginning.
Why don't you sing for her right now.
She is watching right now.
- I'll do that. - One more ???
Come on alexandrea
* if you leave me now *
* you'll take away * * the biggest part of me *
* ooh, baby please don't go *
* ooh, boy, i just want you to stay *
* a love like ours *
* this love is hard to find *
* how could we let it slip away *
* we have come too far *
* to leave it all behind *
* how could we end it all this way *
* when tomorrow comes *
* and we'll both regret *
* the things we said today *
* oh, if you leave me now *
* you'll take away * * the biggest part of me *
* ooh, no, baby, please don't go *
* ooh, i just want you to stay *
* oh, don't let our love slip away *
* don't let it slip away *
Alexandrea lushington.

One of you got the lowest number of votes and is out.
The other is part of the bottom three but is safe.
Let's see. Alaina, you sang
"Hopelessly devoted to you."
You got mixed reviews from the judges.
Simon thought you were old-Fashioned.
Kady,
You sang "magic man."
The judges thought you struggled and had problems defining yourself.
After the nationwide vote,
Kady,
You are safe.
That means alaina leaves us tonight on "american idol."
I can't sing.
- It is okay. - Sorry
It is okay.
It is all right.
Sweet come here
Come here for one second.
I want to talk about the reality of what you have accomplished.
You saw thousands of people.
You made it to a small group on this stage.
Almost nobody gets to do that.
You are singing with these girls.
And every week, somebody has to go on this show.
No matter how good you are.
Somebody has to go every single week until we get to the end.
Okay?
Give it up for her one more time.
Paula,
You can see these raw emotions.
And in this moment,
It seems, i mean disastrous.
What do you see to keep her on the right track
And motivate her?
I'm saying this truthfully. You are such a gifted
Bright young talent.
And we say, you know,
It is just the beginning.
And i know it is hard to hear that.
But alain aurx, truth be told,
This is start of an amazing career for you.
This is the biggest gift you could ever receive,
To be on this show.
I want you to know we enjoyed you.
We think you are promising.
You have nothing but ???
???
Thank you
- We love you. - And we said???
??? You should be very proud of yourself.
Very proud. Congratulations.
Now,
Because this is so emotional.
And tough.
I'm going to give you a choice.
You want to sing, i'll let you sing. If you don't...
- Are you really??? - Sing it
It is going to sound horrible.
???
- Want to help her out? - There ???
I will ??? I'll sing. I mean
It is going to sound horrible.
They will help you out.
The ladies of "american idol."
* guess mine is not * * the first heart broken *

* hold on until the end *
