With a record high 90 million votes that came in, here are the results:
Safe:
- Jessica Sanchez – 1st to be announced safe
- Phillip Phillips
Eliminated:
- Joshua Ledet
Quoatable quote from Jimmy Iovine:
"I think Jessica's worthy of singing at The Grammys." (WOAHHH!)
Joshua performed James Brown’s “It’s A Man’s Man’s Man’s World” as his exit song. He received his 17th standing ovation before the show ended. Now that’s a record!
That’s it folks! Jessica Sanchez and Phillip Phillips will battle it out for the title of American Idol. I’m pretty sure Pinoys all over the world are jumping for joy right now! This is the first time a Filipino made it to the finale! (Jasmine Trias made it to Top 3)
So, how do you guys feel about the results? Did Joshua deserve the boot tonight? Who will be the next American Idol?
Tune in next week for the two-night grand finale starting on May 23 (Wed) 8 AM Philippine Time for the American Idol 2012 Finale!
