American Idol results night

The show opened with a group song. They sang "Raise your glass" by Pink.

Hollie and Jessica were called up first
Iovine felt Hollie has bad habits while Jessica grew up with good habits.
Hollie was put in one group while Jessica was put in a seperate group.

James Durbin performed his new single.

Phillip and Elise were called up next
Iovine felt that they are both character singer-songwriters. Felt Phillip will be in the bottom. Elise too.
Phillip joins Hollie. Elise joins Jessica.

Jennifer Hudson performed with Ne-yo.

Colton and Joshua were called up next.
Iovine felt that they both did well. Felt that Colton convinced him last night.
Colton joined Hollie and Phillip. Joshua joined Jessica and Elise.

Skylar was called up by herself as the last contestant.
Iovine felt that she was in danger of being left behind somehow even though he thinks she's great.
She was told she was safe! Ryan told her to pick the group she thought was safe as well. She refused. He put her with a group - Colton, Hollie and Phillip were all safe.

The judges were shocked, as was the audience. Jessica and Joshua, along with Elise in the bottom 3?! Ryan then announced that Joshua and Elise were safe, meaning Jessica had to sing to be saved??!! Jessica began to sing for the judges' save but the judges interrupted her and saved her before she even finished the song.

I can't believe what I saw tonight. I can't believe that Jessica was actually in the bottom 3, let alone the very bottom. I can't believe that America would not vote for her. I hope I'm wrong but this just seemed like a ratings moment more than anything else. If Jessica would've been sent home, I think I would've been done with the show.
