One more American Idol contestant gets sent packing tonight in just a few minutes. Many Idol viewers, including this one, believe it will be Scott MacIntyre.  It won’t be Mr. MacIntyre going home though.  He is safe for another week.

Funny moment tonight occurred during the opening number when Megan Joy, with the other women, was singing to the judges, and Simon scooted his chair back as far as he could so Megan couldn’t breath on him.  Megan has had the flu all week and even went to the hospital a few days ago.

SAFE: Danny Gokey, Lil Rounds, Anoop Desai, Scott MacIntyre, Megan Joy, Matt Giraud, Kris Allen, Adam Lambert, Allison Iraheta, Michael Sarver

HOT CHAIR: Allison Iraheta (sent back to Safe Seat), Michael Sarver, Alexis Grace

ELIMINATED: Alexis Grace

Simon said that the judges agreed before hand that Alexis could possibly be saved based on her repeat performance after hearing she was eliminated.  Her performance has been worse than last night in my opinion.  She is likely very emotional and nervous and it is showing.  And as predicted the judges DID NOT use their save to keep Alexis.

Tonight’s show will be jam packed with performances by country stars Carrie Underwood, Randy Travis, and Brad Paisley.  Underwood was the winner of American Idol back on season four.  Underwood will perform a duet with Travis.

Opry member Brad Paisley performed his new single ‘Then’.  Paisley is married to Father of the Bride actress Kimberly Williams.

Carrie Underwood and Randy Travis sat down for a duet together just minutes before the conclusion of the show.  They sang ‘I Told You So’ which is off Underwoods sophomore album ‘Carnival Ride’.  An odd pairing visually but a great pairing to be heard singing together.
