The Results - DIVAS

This is the first time in 12 Seasons of American Idol that the Top 5 finalists have all been girls. And on top of that, they are all very talented.

The Top 5 girls opened the show with a Disco Diva medley of some classics from the Queen of Disco, Donna Summer. They started with Last Dance, Heaven Knows, Dim All The Lights and closed with She Works Hard For The Money. They all did a great job.

Also adding to the Diva theme of the week was the surprise appearance from former American Idol judge and hit maker, Paula Abdul. She showed her appreciation and support for Candice who had just done a wonderful job with her interpretation of Paula's first #1 song, Straight Up.

The Season 2 Miss American Idol 1st Runner Up, Clay Aiken, came back to the Idol stage to talk about the success of his charity, The National Inclusion Project, as well as remind us all that he is still one of the best vocalists to ever graduate from the competition. He performed an outstanding rendition of Bridge Over Troubled Water just like he did way back then during his time on the show.

The Season 3 Miss American Idol winner, Fantasia, has a new album coming out next week and she came back to perform the first single, Lose To Win. She tore the house down with her unique and passionate R&B style and impressive vocals.

It was then revealed that Kree and Janelle were the two lowest vote getters. When Janelle had to sing for her life she performed her amazing take on You Keep Me Hanging On, but it wasn't enough to convince the judges to use their save.

Unfortunately, I got my prediction wrong this week. It's sad to see the vibrant, likable and bubbly Janelle be eliminated while the drab and bland Kree is coming back for another chance.
