[MP3] American Idol Top 9: Studio Recordings + Elimination Results

Bottom 2:
Megan and Anoop

Eliminated:
Megan

On tonight's show, Megan Joy said good-bye to the American Idol stage as she received the lowest votes after her performance last night and as much as I like Megan, I have to agree with the decision American made this week. She had enough chances to choose the right songs and the potential to make it far in this competition, but she wasted them all - her last few weeks were terrible compared to her first two performances back in the Top 36 week and the Wildcard show. I'm also a little disappointed that she said she didn't care about the judge's opinions, but I still do like her and I hope to see her release her own music in the future. With the right music and promotion she could become very successful, so I wish Megan some good luck. Eliminations aside, last year's winner David Cook returned to the Idol stage to perform his new single "Come Back to Me", he was also awarded with a Platinum plaque for his self-titled debut album for sales of over one million copies. Also, Lady Gaga performed her #1 hit single "Poker Face" and to me, it was her best live performance of that song yet. I will have both performances posted here as soon as they pop up on YouTube for those who missed them.
