American Idol - The top 7 sing

The show began with us seeing Deandre's hometown watching him go last week. That was a weird way to begin the show.

This week's theme was Songs from 2010-2012 and the mentor for this week was Akon.

Skylar went first and sang "Didn't you know much I loved you" by Kellie Pickler. She wanted to use a guitar but Iovine felt that might limit her. She used the guitar anyway. She sounded very good.

Colton was next and sang "Love the way you lie" by Skylar Grey. Iovine told him he has to be better than Phillip. I thought he gave a very professional performance, meaning that he sounded like he's been doing this for years. His best performance to date.

Elise and Phillip sang "Somebody that I used to know" by Gotye.

Jessica sang "Stuttering" by Jasmine Sullivan. Iovine and Akon were wowed by her. She was very good as usual.

Joshua sang "Runaway baby" by Bruno Mars. Just on a side note, I'm a BIG Bruno Mars fan! This song was very different for him. He was very good.

Colton and Skylar sang "Don't you wanna stay" by Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson. Very good.

Hollie sang "Perfect" by Pink. Iovine and Akon told her that all she's missing is that experience that'll give her that professional touch. She sounded great. Randy was the only one to show that he liked her performance though?!

Phillip sang "Give a little more" by Maroon 5. Pretty good performance.

Joshua, Hollie and Jessica sang "Stronger" by Kelly Clarkson.

Elise closed the show and sang "You and I" by Lady Gaga. She wanted to play drums but Iovine rightfully told her to just sing great. She sounded very good.

I thought everyone was really good tonight but if I had to pick a bottom 3 I would say Joshua, Phillip and Elise with Elise going home and I base that on past bottom 3s.
