American Idol's Top 5 Live Results Show

...and then there were four!

After American Idol’s remaining contestants performed songs made popular by the Rat Pack during Tuesday's show, more than 47 million votes were casted and the results were quite surprising.

Yesterday, my predicted for the top two performers were accurate. American agreed with me and kept Danny Gokey and Allison Iraheta in the competition. That left Matt Giraud, Kris Allen and Adam Lambert (what?) in the bottom three for the night.

The results of having Adam in the bottom three really shocked the judges. To quote Paula "This is Crazy." She then proceed to say "I wish you could all stay together like the Rat Pack." But we all know that's not going to happen.

Then, to compound the surprise, Kris was pronounced saved, joining Danny and Allison, and putting Adam in the bottom two for the first time. Now America truly got that one wrong!

At that point, it seemed inevitable that Matt, the one contestant whose stay was lengthened by the judges’ save, was going home sweet home and he was eliminated from the competition. This must have been a sigh of relief for Adam who has been predicted to win this year's competition.


Last nights show also included performances by the legendary Natalie Cole, who looked totally amazing. We also had the pleasure (if you want to call it that) to hear season five's winner (Soul Patrol) Taylor Hicks, followed by this week's mentor Jamie Foxx belting out his latest tune.

Over all it was a crazy results show and I am confident America will make sure Adam is not in the bottom next week. Hopefully Danny is not either.

Tune into to American Idol next week when the remaining four will perform "Rock 'n' Roll" tunes live on Tuesday night at 8:00 pm (ET) and the results show on Wednesday at 9:00 pm (ET) only on FOX.
