Hollie says goodbyeIt
may have taken 57 minutes of Ryan Seacrest agonizingly dragging out the
proceedings, the judges babbling seemingly without a teleprompter, and
J.Lo ickily flirting with her boy-toy backup dancer Casper Smart...but
eventually on Thursday, Ryan did get around to announcing the "American
Idol" result that everyone had been expecting not only all day, but
really for weeks now: Hollie Cavanagh was, unsurprisingly,
eliminated. Hollie had a pretty good run on "Idol," but after being on
the chopping block six times this season (not to mention being sent home during Hollywood Week when she tried out last year), her time was finally up.
For a few weeks, it actually looked like Hollie was gaining momentum
and becoming this season's Haley Reinhart. But after she "crashed and
burned," according to tough-talking mentor Jimmy Iovine, during
Wednesday's emotionally flatlined performance of Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't
Make You Love Me," she failed to make voters love her--at least not as
much as they loved the standout, best-of-the-season performances by
Joshua Ledet, Jessica Sanchez, and a surprisingly revitalized Phillip
Phillips.
Joshua reactsThis
was a respectable showing for this little fighter, but as Hollie
watched her goodbye sizzle reel at the end of the episode, the sullen
expression on her usually cherubic face made it clear that she was NOT
too thrilled to only make it to fourth place. However, Joshua, her
bestie on the show, actually appeared to be even more upset than she
was, wiping away his tears as Hollie belted out her swan song, "The
Climb."And then there were three: Joshua Ledet, Jessica Sanchez, and Phillip
Phillips. Which two will make it to the finale in just two weeks? It's obvious that the judges and producers are hoping for a Jessica/Joshua finale, but Phillip is the only contestant left who's never been in the bottom three before--so statistically, he still seems like the one to beat. Next week, we'll find out if P-Squared will make it to the final square-off.
