The Top 13 - Results

Nine months after her crowning as the Season 12 Miss American Idol winner Candice Glover’s "Music Speaks" sold 19,000 copies in its first week. "Music Speaks" enters The Billboard 200 at No. 14. Unfortunately, That's the lowest first-week sales tally for the debut album by an "American Idol" winner in the show's 12-year history. The old record was set in 2010 when Lee DeWyze's "Live It Up" sold 39,000 copies in its first week.

Her appearance on this week's results show will hopefully give her a sales boost. She performed two songs that both showcased her outstanding vocals talents and they were catchy as well. 

The bottom three turned out to be Kristen O'Conner, Malaya Watson and MK Nobilette. My only accurate prediction was that Malaya would be in the bottom three, and it came as quite a surprise that MK, who is one of the best talents of the group, was down there. 

It turned out that Kristen was the lowest vote getter and the judges decided not to use their "save". She is a very pretty and talented young woman and it is a shame that her time in the competition has come to an end too soon.
