Jessica Sanchez advanced to the Top 3 along with Joshua Ledet and Philip Phillips. The three got praises from the judges for their performances last night. Jessica and Joshua even got standing o’s! (Watch Jessica Sanchez’s performances: Steal Away and And I’m Telling You from last night)
Unfortunately, it was finally time for Hollie Cavanagh to go.
PLAY-BY-PLAY:
No bottom threes or twos this week. Instead Ryan Seacrest revealed one-by-one who would be heading home to be treated like kings in their hometowns and who would simply be headed home.
In the end, Phillip Phillips and Hollie were left, with Hollie being revealed as the low vote-getter. As her final bow, she sang "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus, another ironic tune for Hollie. In her first audition in 2010, a nervous Hollie sang "The Climb," sending her to Hollywood for the first time. Nearly two years later, a more mature, confident performer sang the same song, only to countless fans across the country and her crying co-contestants.
A fitting end to a the "Idol" chapter of Hollie's life, but something tells me this only just the beginning for, as Will.I.Am called her, "little tinkerbell."
