The remaining American Idol contestants started off with a run-of-the-mill Neil Diamond tribute medley.

Here is my review from last night’s Idol

The first safe contestant tonight was Jason Castro which was a bit of a surprise. David Cook took the second saft spot on the sofa. David Cook was safe as well which left Syesha Mercado and Brooke White as the bottom two.

Then there was a music break for British singer Natasha Bedingfield took time to promote her career by singing ‘Pocketful of Sunshine’.

Ryan Seacrest took a few questions for the contestants and judges including one from a 46-year-old woman named Tara that was Simon’s first kiss when he was 9-years-old.

Neil Diamond, complete with comb over and 145 people playing instruments behind him, sang ‘Pretty Amazing Grace’ to a standing ovation.

The bottom two contestants this week were Brooke White and Syesha Mercado

And here is who is going home this week:

Pack Your Bags

Brooke White (Mesa, AZ) - ‘I’m A Believer’ - ‘I Am…I Said’

Thank goodness, may the drama die down now. Get the mop, dry the stage and lets get ready for next week. Brooke can sing for sure. She is the most talented female this season when you consider the full package. She can play the guitar, piano and sing very well. She will have a very long career if she can get a hold of her emotions and continue to mature (as a singer).

The 4 Remaining American Idol Finalists (in no particular order)
