'American Idol' Elimination Shocker:

Tweet

Who was shocked last night? I know I was....I was yelling at the TV! I am a big fan of David Cooks, but I didn't think it was time for Michael to go. I really didn't think Syeshia did a good job on her song, and Carly, she was good, but NOT fantastic like normal! Article on Michael Johns Elimination: He'd never been to the bottom three before, and he'll never be there again. "American Idol" hopeful Michael Johns, the soulful Australian pretty boy with an affinity for ascots, watched his dreams collapse in what was nothing if not a complete shocker of an elimination episode. Johns drew the least votes following his Tuesday-night performance of Aerosmith's "Dream On." Johns stood center stage — pensive, preparing for the worst — next to Irish lass Carly Smithson, who seemed absolutely convinced it was she who was gonzo, and Syesha Mercado, who exuded the confidence of someone who'd been to the brink of extinction three times before and survived every time. He stared hard at the floor as host Ryan Seacrest said he was the one going home Thursday night. No one appeared more astounded than Smithson, who waved "Goodbye" and mouthed the words "It's me" before one commercial break, when the faux-hawked one asked America, "Which of these Idols will be going home tonight?"
