American Idol Season 10 Finale Performances (videos)

American Idol Season 10 is now on its 2nd to the last episode, with tonight's epi featuring the finale performances of the Final 2: Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina.

The face-off of Scotty, 17, and Lauren, 16, are considered the youngest face-off ever on American Idol, but definitely they're not the least when it comes to vocal prowess.

For their finale performances, Scotty and Lauren had to sing 3 songs each: one is their favorite song, another is a song picked by their musical idol (George Strait for Scotty, Carrie Underwood for Lauren) and lastly, an original composition by Jimmy Iovine which will be their first single.

Sotty McCreery first sang his favorite song "Gone" by Montgomery Gentry, then "Check Yes or No" chosen for him by George Strait and finally "Love You This Big", while Lauren performed Katrina Elam's "Flat On The Floor", then the song "Maybe It Was Memphis" by Pam Tillis picked by Carrie Underwood and "Like My Mother Does" for her 3rd song.

Watch a video of their performances:

Who do you think will be the American Idol Season 10 winner?

The finalist with the highest number of votes from the viewers will be revealed on American Idol Season 10 finale episode Wednesday, May 25. (May 26 AM Manila time)

American Idol Results: Haley Reinhart eliminated; Scotty McCreery, Lauren Alaina face off in the finals

American Idol Top 3 Results
May 19, 2011

American Idol Season 10 Final 2 contenders revealed!

American Idol's last elimination this 10th Season has just happened with Haley Reinhart, the Survivor, being voted off the competition.

I call Reinhart as the Survivor because she managed to reach the American Idol Season 10 Top 3, after being part of the Bottom for at least 4 times, and she was the least favorite finalist during the first eliminations.

While the most shocking eleminations were during the times Pia Toscano and James Durbin were voted off, Haley Reinhart's elimination is the least schocking.

But I really admire Haley's competitive spirit and how she was able to prove her worth in the competition.

That puts Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina in the Final 2 and will face off in the American Idol Season 10 2-part finale happening this Tuesday and Wednesday.

Who's your bet to win this Season? My vote still goes for Scotty McCreery, my 2nd best next to James Durbin, who unfortunately got eliminated last week.

Last night's episode of American Idol Season 10 also featured Nicole Scherzinger (feat. 50-Cent) in one hot performance of "Right There".

Watch a video of her performance:

American Idol eliminates remaining 'black' finalist Jacob Lusk

American Idol Season 10 eliminated once more another finalist last night and it's Jacob Lusk, the only remaining Black finalist in the Top 5.



And now he's gone, leaving 4 finalists who are all White and that just means American Idol will have its 7th white winner this season. That's kinda sad.

Jacob Lusk is actually a great performer, but not the best this season.

The competition in the American Idol Season 10 now becomes tougher as it comes closer to the finals happening on May 25 and 26.

And it becomes very clear who's most likely to be in the Final 2. For me, it's James Durbin and Scotty McCreey.

American Idol Season 10: Ranking the Top 5 finalists

American Idol Season 10 is now down to its Top 5 finalists after judges' favorite Casey Abrams was eliminated last Thursday.

With Abrams elimination, judges' decision to use their one-time "save" vote for Abrams during the Top 11 eliminations has been put to waste.

But at least, he was able to reach this far.

Casey Abrams was among those finalists this season who gave consistently good performances.

On Mykiru's weekly ranking, he was ranked #1 twice, but that was during the first weeks.

Recently he has been losing momentum and his elimination was actually not as surprising as Pia Toscano's elimination, but he was still among the best and 1 or 2 of the Top 5 remaining finalists should have been eliminated ahead of him.

Here's Mykiru's updated ranking for the remaining Top 5 finalists of American Idol Season 10 (James Durbin still the top choice, Haley Reinhart goin' up!)


1. James Durbin (Previous ranks: #7, #5, #2, #1)


2. Scotty McCreery (Previous ranks: #4, #3, #7, #4)


3. Haley Reinhart (Previous ranks: #11, #8, #11, #6)


4. Lauren Alaina (Previous ranks: #3, #2, #8, #3)


5. Jacob Lusk (Previous ranks: #6, #7, #6, #7)

American Idol Results: Stefano Langone eliminated, James Durbin cried

Stefano Langone has been eliminated on Thursday's American Idol Season 10 Results Night (April 21).




But it was quite all fine for Stefano who told host Ryan Seacrest that American Idol started his career and he's happy he reached that far.

In the Bottom 3 were Jacob Lusck and again Hailey Reinhart.

I was expecting Jacob to get eliminated, and sadly it was Stefano, who happens to be one of my favorites.

Here's Stefano's performance of Ne-Yo's "Closer", a great performance but unfortunately didn't earn him enough votes to stay in the competition:

And what was quite interesting on last night's elimination was how James Durbin cried for Stefano. What's the real score between them?

Watch how James cried for bf (best friend) Stefano, plus his farewell performance "Lately":

American Idol Results: Paul McDonald got voted off

American Idol Season 10
Top 8 Results Night
April 14, 2011 (Apr 15 MLA Time)

Paul McDonald is the latest eliminated finalist on American Idol Season 10.

From Top 8, they're now down to just 7 (5 males, 2 females).

After 5 consecutive female finalits, Paul McDonald is the first male finalist to be eliminated since the Final Top 13 eliminations.

This week's theme was "Songs from the Movies" and McDonald performed "Old Time Rock and Roll", a song from the movie Risky Business, but America's voters didn't like it as he got the lowest number of votes.

Here's the list of their song choices this week:

1. Paul McDonald "Old Time Rock and Roll" from the movie Risky Business
2. Lauren Alaina "The Climb" - Hannah Montana: The Movie
3. Stefano Langone "End of the Road" - Boomerang
4. Scotty McCreery "I Cross My Heart" - Pure Country
5. Casey Abrams "Nature Boy" - The Boy with Green Hair
6. Haley Reinhart "Call Me" - American Gigolo
7. Jacob Lusk "Bridge over Troubled Water" - The Pursuit of Happyness
8. James Durbin "Heavy Metal" - Heavy Metal

Also called in the Bottom 3 along with Paul were Hailey Reinhart and Stefano Langone, who were on their 3rd time already to be part of the Bottom 3.

It's amazing how Hailey managed to reach this far. She almost went home during the first 2 eliminations, but here she is now surviving 'til the end.

The other remaining 'Idol' finalists are Casey Abrams, Jacob Lusk, James Durbin, Lauren Alaina and Scotty McCreery.

So far, only James, Lauren and Scotty are the ones who haven't been called as one of the Bottom 3 finalists.

Next week, the remaining Top 7 finalists will sing song from the 21st Century.

***



By the way, Paul McDonald may have been eliminated from American Idol, but he has won the heart of 'Twilight' actress Nikki Reed, as the two are confirmed dating, according to People.com.


***

Here's Mykiru's new ranking for the remaining Top 7 finalists:



1. James Durbin (Previous ranks: #7, #5, #2)


2. Casey Abrams (Previous ranks: #1, #1, #3)


3. Lauren Alaina (Previous ranks: #3, #2, #8)


4. Scotty McCreery (Previous ranks: #4, #3, #7)


5. Stefano Langone (Previous ranks: #5, #6, #5)


6. Haley Reinhart (Previous ranks: #11, #8, #11)


7. Jacob Lusk (Previous ranks: #6, #7, #6)

Pia Toscano is a huge fan of Charice | Faceoff: Pia and Charice "All By Myself"

Pia Toscano, the American Idol Season 10 finalist who got eliminated last week, has told HollywoodLife.com that she's a huge fan of Pinay singing sensation Charice.

According to the website's article posted Tuesday, Pia Toscano finds Charice as an amazing singer and admits she loves to watch Youtube videos of Charice singing Celine Dion songs.

“Charice Pempengco? She’s the most amazing singer ever. I would absolutely perform with her, she’s insane. When I was covering all of my Celine Dion songs, I would watch her videos. She’s just out-of-this-world amazing and I am such a huge fan of her,” Pia told Hollywood Life.

Now we know where Pia drew inspirations from when she sang "All By Myself" during one of her weekly performances on American Idol Season 10.

In fact, there's a video posted on Youtube last March 12 comparing Pia and Charice's versions of the song. Watch!!!


Pia, who was a strong contender on American Idol Season 10 but unfortunately got eliminated, will be back on the season finale and she reportedly wants to perform a duet with Charice on the finale.

Charice immediately responded to that and said she loves the idea. On Twitter, she said, "@PToscanoAI10 would love to perform with you too. :) you're so sweet."


Wow, let's all hope to see Pia and Charice performing together "All By Myself". (and change the song title to "All By Ourselves").

American Idol eliminates Pia Toscano

American Idol Season 10 Top 9 elimination Thursday night (Friday AM in Manila) was by far the most shocking elimination of the season with Pia Toscano as the one who was voted off the competition.



Stefano Langone was surprised that he's not going home.


Even 'Idol' judge Jennifer Lopez couldn't hide her disappointment upon learning that Pia was the one eliminated following her inclusion in the Bottom 3 with Jacob Lusk and Stefano Langone.

JLo said she's shocked and angry with the results.

Watch a video of the elimination: Everyone, from the judges to the audience and even Pia's co-finalists, they were all shocked!!


I think the 3 judges are now regretful for using the "Save" vote too early for finalist Casey Abrams two weeks ago.

Pia was considered a strong contender, usually ranked in the Top 5 of everyone's list but her elimination shows that there's no such thing in American Idol whose winner is based on the viewers' votes.

And it's kinda obvious that the viewers were favoring the male finalists more than the female ones as Pia is already the 5th consecutive female finalist to be eliminated from American Idol Season 10.

There are only 2 female finalists left in the in the competition, Lauren Alaina and Hailey Reinhart, and the 6 others in the Top 8 are all male who are still in tact since the selection of the Top 13 Finalists.

Shall we expect a male winner this season? Or will it be between Lauren and the "survivor" Hailey?

Thia Megia eliminated from 'Idol 10', and it's no April Fools' Day joke!

Thia Megia has been eliminated from American Idol Season 10 on Thursday episode, March 31, 2011 (Friday in Manila, April Fools' Day).

How I wish it's just an April Fools' Day joke, but it's not.

Two 'Idol' finalists were actually elimimated last night as a result of the judges' decision to save finalist Casey Abrams from getting the boot last week.

Naima Adedapo, who usually ranked in the bottom of Idol fans' favorites list, was also eliminated along with Filipina contestant Thia Megia after being announced in the Bottom 3 with Paul McDonald for getting the lowest number of text votes this week.

It was Naima's 3rd time to be part of the Bottom 3, while it was the 2nd consecutive time for Thia. But both suffered the same fate of going home last night.

Thia and Naima will still be part of the Idol Summer Tour this coming April along with the remaining 9 finalists.

Hear Thia Megia for the last time as an American Idol finalist (Thia's Top 11 Performance "Daniel"):

Thia Megia is 5th least popular on Twitter among the 11 remaining 'Idol' finalists

Thia Megia is only ranked 7th among the Top 11 finalists on American Idol Season 10 if based on the number of Twitter followers.

As of 8:30 am today, the Filipina contestant has 30,299 followers, just 88 short from James Durbin who ranks 6th and has 30,387 followers.

1. Scotty McCreery 45,624
2. Casey Abrams 44,126
3. Paul McDonald 37,253
4. Lauren Alaina 32,183
5. Pia Toscano 31,795
6. James Durbin 30,387
7. Thia Megia 30,299
8. Stefano Langone 27,902
9. Jacob Lusk 18,450
10. Hailey Reinhart 17,289
11. Naima Adedapo 14,203

[Follow Thia Megia on Twitter]

Is the number of Twitter followers a measure of how popular an American Idol finalist is?

In a way, yes, because Hailey and Naima have the least followers, and during the previous 2 weeks, they were in the Bottom 3 of the competition.

However, it's not always the case as Casey Abrams, who has the 2nd highest number of followers, had the lowest number of votes from the viewers for this week and both Hailey and Naima were not part of the Bottom 3.

Anyone of them still has equal chances of winning American Idol.

And for Thia, the youngest finalist, I hope she survives 'til the end of the competition.

Thia Megia lands Bottom 3 with Casey Abrams and Stefano Langone on 'Idol' Top 11 Results

Thia Megia was in the Bottom 3 on American Idol Season 10 Top 11 Results, as revealed on Thursday night episode (Friday morning here in Manila).

But thanks, Thia was later declared SAFE.

The other two finalists in the Bottom 3 were Stefano Langone and Casey Abrams.

It was all their first time to be in the Bottom 3, which was quite suprising.

Thia delivered great performance last Wednesday when she sang the Martha and the Vandellas song "Heatwave", while Stefano and Casey are considered favorites in the competition.

Host Ryan Seacrest announced Casey Abrams, who's been ranked #1 by Mykiru last week, as the one with the lowest number of votes for the week and should be eliminated, but the three Idol judges used their one-time "SAVE" power and let Abrams stay in the competition.

No one went home this week and that just means, two finalists will be voted off next week. And that worries me for our dear Thia.

I hope she'll reach the Top 5.

Watch video of Thia Megia's Top 11 performance:

Thia Megia stays on American Idol, Karen Rodriguez gets voted off!

Fil-Am Thia Megia is still competing strong on American Idol Season 2 despite a not so good performance last Wednesday episode.

The Top 12 finalists were asked to sing a song popularized on the year they were born and she sang the 1995 hit "Colors of the Wind", an Oscar-winning song from Disney's Pocahontas and was interpreted by Vanessa Williams.

But unfortunately, the judges didn't like it much. They found it boring.

Watch a video of Thia's performance here:


Luckily though, Megia didn't end up in the Bottom 3 during the results night on Thursday.

The 3 finalists who garnered the least number of votes from the viewers were Haley Reinhart, Naima Adedapo and Karen Rodriguez.

In the end, it was Karen who got voted off.

Karen was actually Mykiru's lowest-ranked finalist last week. Check it HERE.

And for this week, here's Mykiru's new Top 8 Ranking:


1. Casey Abrams (Previous rank: #1)


2. Lauren Alaina (Previous rank: #3)


3. Scotty McCreery (Previous rank: #4)


4. Pia Toscano (Previous rank: #2)


5. James Durbin (Previous rank: #7)


6. Stefano Langone (Previous rank: #5)


7. Jacob Lusk (Previous rank: #6)


8. Haley Reinhart (Previous rank: #11th)


In the Bottom: Thia Megia, Paul McDonald and Naima Adedapo.

American Idol Season 10: Mykiru's current Top 8 ranking

American Idol Season 10 eliminated yesterday Ashthon Jones who failed to impress with her rendition of Diana Ross' "When You Tell Me That You Love Me".

From Top 13, the American Idol finalists are now down to 12, with our very own Thia Megia still in the competition.

However, Thia gave a so-so performance of "Smile" last Wednesday. Though she wasn't part of the Bottom 3, Thia might be in danger next week if she continues to give an average performance.

That's why, on Mykiru's Current Top 8 for the week, Thia isn't part of it, but I'm hoping she'll level up her performance next week.

On top of my ranking is Casey Abrams who was amazing on his version of "With A Little Help From My Friends". I just wish his health problems won't affect his upcoming performances.

During the results night, Casey wasn't able to show up because he was hospitalized due to stomach aches caused by ulcer.

For now, here's Mykiru's current Top 8 on American Idol Season 10:


1. Casey Abrams


2. Pia Toscano


3. Lauren Alaina


4. Scotty McCreery


5. Stefano Langone


6. Jacob Lusk


7. James Durbin


8. Paul McDonald


The 4 finalists who ranked in the bottom for Mykiru this week are (all girls) Naima Adedapo, Thia Megia, Haley Reinhart and Karen Rodriguez.

Mykiru's Top 8 Ranking will be updated next week. We'll see who will climb up and who will go down the ranking.

Maria Aragon, Thia Megia or Charice: Who's the best singer?

Maria Aragon, Thia Megia and Charice are three young Filipinas who are making headlines around the world for their incredible talent in singing.

And definitely, all three of them are making us all proud to be Filipinos.

10-year-old Fil-Canadian Maria Aragon rose to fame after Lady Gaga discovered her singing "Born This Way" on Youtube.

She got invited to appear on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" and "Good Morning America", and just last Thursday, she performed on stage with no less than Lady Gaga. And it all happened in just 2 weeks.

From 'America's Got Talent', Thia Megia meanwhile is again making a name for herself as among the Final 13 of American Idol Season 10. This Fil-Am girl is only 15, but sounds and sings like a pro, that even American Idol host Ryan Seacrest couldn't believe she's just 15.

She recently impressed the American Idol judges with "Out Here On My Own" and even reminded them of Michael Jackson.

Thia will definitely stay longer in the competition and let's all hope that she'll be the first Pinoy to win on American Idol.

Charice on one hand has achieved a lot already, including her GLEE-ful performances.

She also started gaining recognition at a young age of 15 and she will certainly continue to bring honor for our country.

You've heard them all sing and definitely they all sing great, but I want to know, who among them sings the best?
