The person leaving the competition is Lacey Brown.
It's tough,it's sad to see anybody leave,you know
that's just like crazy heart breaking,
knowing we've been together so long.
Now, we really are a group.
I want to see someone really giving their all
when they are on the stage pushing themselves.
The most important thing is, I think it's all about the music.
That's what's called being a star, an adult singer.
I think it was the best vocal of the night.
I thought you sounded great.
How do you not say that's amazing?
It's really ridiculous.
You meeting Miley Cyrus is probably the best thing
that could ever happen to you.
These people love you.
Take it all in, and response...
The dopest thing you did was the slide, dude.
The vocals were so boring.
I think you're going to be in serious, serious trouble tonight.
My whole life can change if I
make it tomorrow night, you know.
The top 10 make the tour.
Please vote me in the top 10.
Whoever doesn't do well tonight
can lose out on a giant opportunity.
And tonight we find out who that will be.
The votes are in.
This is American idol.
Good evening, guys.
Hello, everybody, I'm Ryan Seacrest.
Welcome to results night.
We are live.
Thank you so much for your votes last night.
But, unfortunately, one person will be going home
unless the judges decide to save them.
Again, the saves must be unanimous and can only be used
one time until it expires at the top five.
Will they use the save tonight?
We will find out soon.
Here are the judges.
Say hi to Randy Jackson.
Whoo, whoo, whoo.
Ellen Degeneres.
Whoo, whoo, whoo.
Kara Dioguardi.
Whoo, whoo, whoo.
And Simon Cowell.
Boo, boo, boo.
We will get to your results in just a little bit.
Right now, though, with Wham's 1994 number one hit
"Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go," everybody now on your feet,
come on, let's go. Stand up for your top 11.
Here they are.

Back with you live on American Idol with the top 11 tonight.
Results coming at you in just a moment.
But first let's see what the contestants were up to over the weekend
for the Ford music video shoot.
Shall we?
Roll that!
# there will be no blues, all right #
# nothing's gonna stop us now #
# let's just get down to it #
# oh, oh, oh, oh, #
# it sounds I know #
# oh, oh, oh, oh, #
# it sounds I know #
Go to AMERICANIDOL.COM to watch all the Ford music videos,
plus find out how to get a VIP trip to the site one of them done,
and tickets to the show.
While you're there, chek out how you could take home
an American Idol inspired Ford Fiesta.
I wish if one of you guys has a wrack, during the shoots?
No fender-benders this time? Ok, good.
And we found Andrew. Ok, we got you.
It's a crucial week for these contestants on the couch.
Surviving this cut is really important.
Then they secure a spot on the summer tour
and there's only room for 10 contestants.
How are we doing, Gang?
Okay? Yeah,
very quiet.
Let's chat with you guys for a second
just to see what's on your mind.
Casey, let me ask you, yesterday you had an eye-opening
experience before we went on the air.
We didn't talk about it last night during the show.
- What happen? - Thank you, thank you.
You're welcome.
Rehearsal was a little crazy.
I completely went into the second verse when I was
supposed to go into the chorus of my song
and it freaked me out big time.
So I was a little bit on edge last night.
How about after your performance, how did you feel?
A lot better because I didn't wreck it, so, you know,
Thank you to the band, by the way.
Good luck tonight, Casey.
Siobhan's boss is here in the audience,
and is his name Brooks?
Yes.
Brooks will not shave until she wins.
We'll see how the beard is growing.
And then her friends are next to...
What do they call themselves?
- Siobhan-bees. - The Siobhan-bees, that's right.
Next to Rob Zombie looks like with the bear.
I was talking to Katie's dad before the show.
And he was sprinting away from the studio.
And I said to him where you go, the results are bout to come on.
Why does he leave during the show?
My dad can't like watch me
and my brother in competition because if we lose,
he hates seeing the sadness on our faces.
So right now my dad is across
the street probably having a drink or something.
And he's getting the play-by-play
from friends back home who are watching it live.
So right now somebody's probably
texting him saying they're talking about you.
That sounds more like self-torture than being here.
I don't know.
He goes, Katie, I don't know if you're going home,
but I can't go because I feel like if I go,
then you'll be kicked off, so
he's just going to stay over there until he finds out.
Tipping the cups and creating a hangover for himself.
So, Big Mike, I saw this footage upstairs earlier.
And I had to show it.
Because Big Mike has other
responsibilities outside of American idol.
Take a look at Mike babysitting in his special package here.
I'm not so sure people are aware of how it works in terms of you
and where you have to stay and where your family has to stay.
So you don't actually sleep in the same place at night.
No, no.
They have a little apartment a little ways away.
I see them every night, you know.
So most nights.
It's crazy not living... we've lived together for... since we
left high school, we moved in together.
So it's crazy right now.
What do you think when you look down at that little baby?
She's just so peaceful, just so blessed to have her.
You know, my wife told me the other day or yesterday,
she found our dog.
She finally like saw her and
just watched her back and forth all day.
So it was beautiful.
Very good.
Good luck to you, Mike.
Let's cut to the chase, guys.
Last week we pulled out the bottom three.
We're going to do the same this week.
We've got the stools on the other side of the stage,
and soon they will be filled.
Dim the lights.
And here we go with your results.
Let's go back to Siobhan to start.
Siobhan, please stand up, darling.
You sang "Superstition."
The judges loved your conviction
and how you expressed yourself,
but Simon thinks you have to
push yourself even more and not rely on your scream.
What do you think about his comment
about relying on your scream?
You know, honestly, I knew he'd say that.
And in a way, I totally agree.
I just... this week was so important to all of us.
And if... if I had to do it one more time
to get through to the top 10,
it's something that I can do,
And it's different, so I just...
You know, of course, I'm willing to challenge myself and
change things up in the future,
but I just wanted to have as
much fun as I could so it would show.
But I understand.
After the nationwide vote, Siobhan, you're going to
have to pack your bags this summer.
Because you're going out on tour.
Congratulations.
You are safe.
Okay.
Next, let's go to Lee and Casey.
You guys both stand up here for a second.
Lee, you sang "The letter."
While Kara and Randy thought you raised the bar,
Simon questioned your song choice,
but Ellen was happy to have her favorite pen back.
Casey, you sang "Power of love."
The judges didn't love your song choice, either.
But three of them liked your vocal, then there was Mr. Cowell,
he thought he was listening to an '80s cover band, he said.
I mean to Randy, to Ellen, to Kara,
after watching it back, do you guys
still feel you were right and Almighty was wrong?
Hundred percent, definitely, Ryan.
Ellen?
I thought yeah, he has great vocals, I loved it at home.
I was very happy with the vocals.
You still stick to your path, Simon?
Yes.
He seems so sweet, doesn't he?
After the nationwide vote,
both of you stay there for one second.
Let's go to Tim and Paige.
Both stand up.
Tim, you sang "Crazy Little Thing Called love."
All the judges thought you missed the mark on that one.
They also criticized your stage antics
and thought you made the performance corny,
although it was a nice slide, though, Tim.
If you had to do it all over again,
listening to their critique and you could have a do-over,
would you do it differently?
You know, I've obviously thought about that quite a bit
since last night, and I had so much fun last night
that I don't think I'd really do it over again.
It was different.
It was a change for me.
I had a blast.
I think it was entertaining.
That's what I was going for.
Paige, you sang "Against All Odds."
The judges all agreed the performance was off.
Kara and Simon thought you had stopped competing in the show.
Now that you've had a chance to let it sink in over 24 hours,
what do you think happened last night?
What went wrong, in your opinion?
I just... I lost myself in the song.
I didn't stop competing, but I
definitely lost myself in the song.
- So it was a poor performance. - Randy, looking at those
two faces, Tim and Paige,
who is in the bottom three, randy,
based on not knowing...
I know you don't have the result, but in your opinion,
who is in the bottom three?
God, Ryan, both of you guys last night really...
it was not good.
But paige, it's probably the worst I ever heard you.
I don't know what was happening.
I would probably say Paige.
Randy is right.
Unfortunately, Paige, darling,
You are in the bottom three tonight.
And so is Tim, guys.
Tim is in the bottom three as well.
Two of your bottom three.
Tim and Paige.
So who will join them?
We'll find out in just a little bit.
When we come back, Miley Cyrus, our mentor, takes the stage.
Stay with us.
Back with you on American Idol.
Remember, you can download video
and audio from this week's performances on iTunes where you
can check out the tracks and playlists the contestants will
listen to when they make that all-important choice for next week.
And next week, our theme is R&B soul, with the guidance of Usher,
so Usher will be with us next week.
Right now we're welcoming back
to the stage this week's mentor
With "When A Man Loves A Woman."
Here is the one and only Miley Cyrus.
# everybody needs inspiration #
# everybody needs a song #
# a beautiful melody #
# when the nights are long #
# 'cause there is no guarantee #
# that this life is easy #
# yeah, when my world is falling apart #
# when there's no light to break up the dark #
# that's when I #
# I, I look at you #
# when the waves are flooding the shore #
# and I can't find my way home anymore #
# that's when I, I, I #
# when I look at you #
# I see forgiveness #
# and I see the truth #
# love me for who I am #
# like the stars hold the moon #
# right there where they belong #
# and I know I'm not alone #
# yeah, when my world is falling apart #
# when there's no light to break up the dark #
# that's when I #
# I #
# when I look at you #
# you appear just like a dream to me #
# just like kaleidoscope colors that cover me #
# all I need #
# every breath that I breathe #
# don't you know, babe, you're beautiful #
# oh, oh, #
# yeah, yeah #
# when the waves are flooding the shore #
# and I can't find my way home anymore #
# that's when I, I, I #
# when I look at you #
# oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah #
# whoa, oh #
# you appear just like a dream to me #
Thank you.
Miley Cyrus!
Looking beautiful.
Thank you so much.
Good to see you again.
Good to see you, too.
We're excited to be in the same studio with you.
I think this is my first standing ovation.
- Oh, come on, that's not true. - No, I really think so.
By the way, did you hear that?
- You're her first standing ovation. - I think so.
I don't know if I buy that.
I feel like it.
Now hold on for a second.
Take a breath.
How do you think the contestants did last night all in all?
I was only disappointed in one thing,
because I thought the knee slide, personally, was awesome.
- That was bare. - No, I love the knee slide. - Yeah, you do?
Yeah, I love a little Zac Efron from "High School Musical," "Hairspray."
I love it all. So I think he is great. He is on the way to...
The judges were tough on the contestants through last night, did they?
They were.
The room was a little heavy at points.
But, you know, I think, all in all it's as hard as it is to take criticism.
I think they're most likely trying to help them
and get them to grow, and I think
nothing does that more than tough love.
Can you imagine having to sing like that and face them?
No.
I'd be like this and I begin crying, right away.
Because I couldn't do it. I was like nervous for them in the audience.
So, I don't think I could do it.
I could never sing knowing right after I'd be judged.
You... you know, no matter... whenever I sing, that is the case
people are judging the way you do,
but not right there face to face. That's hard.
And not in a tight black T-shirt, either, with a british accent.
He scares me.
Congratulations on all of your success at such a young age.
When we come back, more results coming to you live.
Do not move.
Welcome back to the show.
Now, Idol Gives Back is four weeks from tonight.
You can start doing your part right now actually.
For the first time ever, we've
created an online program called Help Me Give Back which will
allow you and your friends to start raising money right now.
You can visit AMERICANIDOL.COM/IDOLGIVESBACK to make an impact.
We'll be watching all of it. If we like what we see,
You may hear your name mentioned on the show on April 24th
or find yourself in the audience of a future Idol Show.
So take part in that.
Now back to the business at hand.
I've sent Tim and Paige over to the stools
because they are part of the bottom three.
Over here on the other side of the stage,
everyone on the top row is safe,
which means Lee and Casey survive.
So congratulations to them.
Right now we're going to fill that third seat
with the final person in our bottom three.
Bring down the lights, and here we go, America.
Aaron Kelly, would you please stand up, sir?
Aaron, you sang "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing."
Ellen and Randy loved it.
Kara called it the best song choice of the night.
Simon thought even though it was a bit old-fashioned that you
have zero chance of going home this week.
How's your voice doing?
- It's a little bit better. - A little better?
It's coming back.
Well, that's good news,
because you're going to put it to good use next week.
You are safe!
Congratulations, Aaron.
All right.
Didi Benami. Loose up.
You sang "You're No Good."
The judges thought that all together it didn't work.
Kara felt like you were trying to be someone you're not.
Simon thought the title of the song said it all.
Now...
Boo, boo, boo, boo.
Boo, boo, boo.
Shut up.
I know that you're a little frustrated
because you're trying to take a risk.
Some contestants take the risk,
they get praise, you got criticized.
Did it cause frustration?
More like confusion.
It's been... it's been kind of confusing.
I just am not sure what it is that you all want except for me
sitting there playing my guitar which is fine and I love to do,
but I want to branch out and do something that is great and fun.
And, you know, up-tempo and it's like...
Let's ask them.
Ellen, if she makes it through to another week,
what would you like to see Didi actually do up on stage?
What would I like to see Didi do?
I would like to see Didi do what Didi does, like... a little Didi.
Didi, I love you.
I... I just thought it was not the right song choice.
That's the only thing that I just... I, personally, didn't think
you are trying to be something you are not.
I thought you can show different sides of yourself.
I think that's fine.
I don't at all think there's anything wrong with that.
I would like to see you just pick better song choices.
That's the only thing that I just... better song choice,
because I think you have a great voice.
Thank you.
Simon, what's going on inside that head?
I'm looking at you staring at
Didi rubbing your lips back and forth.
You know, Didi, I think sometimes you overthink things, you know.
I think you overthink it sometimes.
I overthink everything.
All it really is is
that you've just got to choose a good song and be good full stop.
Not that difficult.
I can't hear you.
I'll tell you later.
It's hard to hear on the stage,
if you can pump up the speakers.
It's hard to hear up here.
We'll just cut to the vote.
After the nationwide vote, you are safe.
Yeah!
Michael Lynche, please stand up.
You sang "When A Man Loves A Woman."
Ellen and Randy loved your R&B
Soul vibe but they thought the song choice was safe.
Kara and Simon thought it was loungey and indulgent.
Mike, America voted.
You are going out on tour.
Congratulations.
You are safe.
Crystal Bowersox, it's your turn.
Stand up.
You sang "Me And Bobby Mcgee."
The judges all praised your performance.
Randy said you're what it's all about.
Simon loved that your only gimmick was the rug,
But Ellen and Kara can't wait to see you let go now.
Kara said no guitar.
Simon said love the guitar.
Who do you listen to if you make it through?
Me.
Yeah!
After the nationwide vote,
America gets to listen to you again next week.
You are safe.
Congratulations.
Katie and Andrew, both you guys stand up.
Let's start with Katie.
You sang "Big Girls Don't Cry".
The judges all praised your performance.
Randy liked that you listened and kept it young.
And Ellen deemed you the Dakota Fanning of
American Idol and called it your best performance to date.
So, Simon likes you country.
Kara likes you pop.
Yeah.
What do you do?
I do what feels right to me and that would be pop and R&B.
- Pop and R&B. - like Kara said.
I'll try it for you, Simon. But that's what have to waiting.
Andrew, you sang "Heard It Through A Grapevine".
The judges were all underwhelmed by your performance.
Kara compared you to a puppet, moving across the stage.
Simon thought you ruined one of the greatest pop songs of all time
by sucking out the soul.
Oh, oh, oh.
I just imagine if we weren't on television and
there wasn't a competition there and he said that to you,
what would you say back to him?
That's mean, man.
Did that bother you a lot?
Well, yeah.
I mean, no matter what, you overthink it.
You just... of course you want to impress the judges.
They're there for a reason and I know.
So when you hear that, it's like,
oh, my god, what do I do?
Do you feel like you're
struggling on like, what to do in the competition?
Well, yeah, now I am because all the criticism and stuff,
but when they said I didn't know myself as an artist,
I kind of disagreed because I know I like... I love my business...
I'm going to keep my...
After the nationwide vote the person in the bottom
three tonight is...
Katie. Katie
Andrew, you are safe.
Take a seat.
All of you guys join me at the center of the stage.
Come on over here, Katie.
Come on over here, guys.
So here is your bottom three.
You've got Tim in the center,
Paige and Katie in danger of going home.
One of them will have to sing to survive in the competition.
Now, I'm going to send one of you back to safety.
That person, as you know, sticks around and goes on tour.
The person who is safe and stays in the competition is...
Katie.
We love you.
Congratulations, Katie.
Take a seat.
So it's going to be either Tim or Paige who will face the fire,
but not before Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas take the stage.
Live, next.
You are live with us on American Idol.
Say it, come on.
- American Idol. - American Idol.
Results are on the back burner for just a moment while we bring
out two of Hollywood's hottest young stars.
Tonight, they perform the inspirational "Make A Wave."
Ladies and gentlemen, Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas.
# they say the beat of a butterfly's wings can set off a storm in a world away #
# what if they're ride in the smallest of things #
# can power the strongest hurricane #
# what if it all begins inside #
# we hold the key that turns the tide #
# just a pebble in the water #
# can set the sea in motion #

# a simple act of kindness #
# can stir the widest ocean #

# heaven knows what we can change #
# throw a pebble in the water #

# you never know what we could change #
# throw a pebble in the water #
# make a wave #
# oh, oh #
# oh, oh, oh #
Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato, everybody.
- Good to see you again, man. - Good to see you.
Welcome.
Nice to see you.
I'm telling you, good chemistry on this stage this evening.
Wouldn't you say?
Is that the first time you've
done that duet together in front of an audience?
We've done it a few times, but it keeps getting bigger.
We did it in Orlando.
Then we did it in Houston Rodeo.
- Now American Idol. - Now American Idol.
- There's a jump there from the Houston Rodeo. - Yeah.
Just a few more people.
You were with us actually, Joe, in Dallas, right, for the audition?
- I was. Yeah. - Okay.
- And... - I know.
- Tim you saw him and put him through. - I know.
- I guess it's not going really well. - You know.
I'll cross my fingers for you.
What advice do you have for those who make it through?
For those who make it through, just do your thing.
Keep doing it.
You guys are amazing.
Have fun on tour.
Thank you guys for being here.
Congratulations on everything.
We do have Tim and Paige waiting in those stools.
One of them will be leaving us
unless they get saved by the judges.
Find out what you've done right after this.
Hang on.
Welcome back.
There is so much on the line tonight.
Not only a spot in the competition,
but a coveted place on the tour which everyone on
the couch has earned because they are safe.
So congratulations to that lot over there.
Let's now get to your results.
Dim the lights and here we go.
Paige and Tim, good luck to both of you.
The person who is going home tonight,
unless the judges save them, after the nationwide vote is...
Paige Miles.
Tim, you are safe.
Congratulations, Tim.
Come here, Paige.
Before we have you sing for your life, let me give you that...
Simon, let me get your reaction to this and give you some words
of maybe some... I don't know...
encouragement you could give to Paige.
Well, the first bit is not going to be encouragement,
Paige, because regardless of you singing,
you're going to end up going home tonight.
It's got to a point where it's just... it's not working.
I don't want to give you any false hope here.
It's the end.
In terms of encouragement, take yourself back to
when we first saw you, because you really
genuinely had a great voice.
So you've got to take yourself back, work things out.
You've performed in front of millions of people, and you've
got to use that to your advantage.
I'm really sorry.
Is that the unanimous decision?
100% unanimous.
All of you agree?
- Yes. - Yeah.
Paige, I'm sorry it had to end this way.
We love you, we will miss you.
I just wonder what you're gonna
to say to your kids when you get back to class.
What would you say about this whole experience.
Would you recommend they do it?
Definitely.
It was the roller coaster of a lifetime.
So, I mean, I had a blast.
You know, I had a lot of health issues going on out here.
With all that diagnosis, take some medicine,
I had some choices and things like that... you know...
I still had laryngitis.
It was a great learning experience, so...
All right.
We've got a tape prepared of your journey.
Turn around here and let's take
a look at your trip here on American Idol.
Roll that. Watch.
I love to sing.
I love music.
I would love to make a career out of it.
I would do this for free.
I'm going to Hollywood.
You're better than you even know.
You are really, really a singer.
This is my ultimate joy,
being on a stage in front of people.
# somebody better show me how before I fall any deeper #
I think out of all the girls, you have the best voice.
I loved it.
I thought it was fantastic.
It's been everything I wanted it to be and so much more.
# I think I better leave right now #
Loving this.
Lovin' it.
Paige Miles.
We're going to make you sing on the way out.
Stand by, okay?
Get ready.
Thank you guys for watching tonight.
Thank you, judges, for this week.
Thank you, Rickey Minor and the band.
Thank you also to Miley.
Next week the top 10 take on soul and R&B with Usher.
Right now, one more time, as we say goodbye, Paige Miles.
Take care, Paige.
