American Idol's result show tonight followed last night's performance show when seven remaining American Idol contestants performed songs from the 21st century.

Last night, Scotty McCreery sang, "Swingin'" written by John Anderson. The American Idol judges, Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler believed he could've chosen a better song to sing. James Durbin sang, "Uprising," by Muse. The judges said his performance was probably the best of the night. Haley Reinhart sang Adele's, "Rolling In The Deep." Randy Jackson thought it was a good fit for her.

Jacob Lusk chose, "Dance with My Father," by, Luther Vandross. Randy Jackson said he'd like to see a return to powerhouse gospel next performance. Casey Abrams sang, Maroon Five's, "Harder To Breathe," with his guitar. The judges loved his performance.

Stefano Langone sang, Neyo's, "Closer." Jennifer said he had his swag on. Lauren Alaina finished last night's American Idol performance by singing, "Born To Fly," by Sara Evans. Steven Tyler said she had country swagger but Jennifer and Randy advised her to challenge herself more.

On tonight's American Idol result show, Ryan Seacrest reported there were over 52 million votes. Then

Lauren Alaina, Haley Reinhart, Jacob Lusk and Stefano Langone took the stage to sing, "Hey Soul Sister," by Train. The latest Ford Focus commercial film clip was aired, filmed by the seven American Idol contestants revolved around cleaning the planet in celebration of Earth week.

Jacob Lusk and Stefano Langone waited their final American Idol vote results out to see who would be eliminated this week.

Stefano Langone is named the American Idol contestant voted out tonight. Stefano sang the show out with, "Lately." Six American idol contestants remain to compete next week.

This week's interesting American Idol commentary. Casey Abrams offered judge Jennifer Lopez a kiss on the cheek at the end of his performance. Jennifer commented, "Casey has soft lips." Steven Tyler was loose with his lips too, having to be censored due to an extended foul stream of words. He returned from a commercial break with duct tape over his mouth, and it's reported that he was reprimanded by the show producers. The American Idol contestants were given free time, attended a Dodger game, bowling and had spa treatments.

    It was time for Stephano. I love Casey, but the kiss made me very uncomfortable.

    The right choice was made.

    Thank you for the recap - I fell asleep before the ending - they are all so good, it's tough at this point in the show. I was shocked that Jacob was in the bottom 3. Cheers :)
