Seriously America? You We didn’t wait long before you we delivered the first shocker in this season’s American Idol.
SPOILER ALERT: Following Wednesday night’s Motown performances, it was Thia Megia, Casey Abrams and Stefano Langone who found themselves in the bottom three.
Before it was all over, Thia and Stefano were told they were safe and America’s collective jaw fell to the floor as Casey found himself alone on the chopping block and in jeopardy of going home.
Casey then sang I Don’t Need No Doctor to save his life. But he didn’t have to sing long because the judges know more about talent than we the fans. Randy Jackson waived his hand and motioned Casey to stop mid song.
“We know who you are, we don’t need to hear you sing anymore, do we, Steven?” Randy asked.
Steven Tyler agreed of course, “No, this is crazy wrong. We’ve made the decision here to keep you on.”
The 20-year old Casey was shaken to his core, and you could read his lips say: “Oh my f*cking god!” He asked the judges, “It’s top 11, why would you do that?!”
Jennifer Lopez told Casey: “We just want you to get back to being the musician that you are. No more antics. No more anything. Let the people feel your soul. And you’re gonna stay. You deserve to be here.”
Casey said later,”I thought that they wouldn’t use the save, because there’s 11 people. It’s unreal. I started singing, and the fact that you cut it scared the stuff out of me.”
Because the judges used their one save of the season, two of our finalists will be voted off next Thursday. And because there are no more saves left, America, WE have to get it right from now on!
