American Idol

Right out of the box tonight, we start off with Rascal Flatts performing.

Ryan sent the Idols to meet the director of Shrek Forever After, as he has a small part in it. They get to see how voices are added and try to voice Ryan's character. After, they get to go to a screening of the movie, and the fans are out. Ryan calls this the best Shrek movie yet. It seems like it's in 3D, too. They give the movie great reviews and joke that Ryan's three lines in the film were Oscar-worthy. Antonio Banderas and Cameron Diaz join Ryan onstage after the clip, as Ryan adds Fiona is much hotter in person. They discuss it being more emotional this time around. It's absolutely the last one, and they promise to send the franchise off in a good way. Antonio as Puss 'n Boots tells them to dim the litghts.

Ryan is forming three groups of two on the stage. Siobhan Magnus calls singing Shania's song in front of her kind of intimidating, yet wicked cool. She heads to the far side of the stage. Randy Jackson mentions he thought this was Aaron Kelly's week and and he loved seeing him in his element. He heads to the center of the stage. Simon Cowell gets a chance to explain his comment about Michael Lynche being wet, and tells Ryan to imagine himself singing. Big Mike stands in a group on the near side of the stage.

Lee Dewyze mentions he wasn't going to sing his song orignally, then ended up connecting with it. He joins Siobhan. Kara DioGuardi has always been a believer of Casey Jame, and not just because he's good-looking, and says last night we heard what he could do, and feels everyone connected with it. He joins Mike onstage. Ellen DeGeneres doesn't think Crystal Bowersox is in danger, saying she doesn't think America is that fickle. She's always good, but it just wasn't as strong as the others. She joins Aaron in the center of the stage.

Ryan asks Siobhan to walk with him over to the couches, and while he surely makes her think she's safe, instead he plants her next to Casey and Michael, saying this is our bottom three

Carrie Underwood appears tonight to welcome three guys that mean a lot to her. She's been making music with them since she walked off this stage. It's Sons of Sylvia.

Lady Antebellum performs next.

After a break, there's still more for us as Rascal Flatts is back with Shakira this time. She's playing the harmonica. Rascal Flatts plays background for her and sings a little backup as well as she sings Gypsy

Mike is asked how it feels to be standing here again. He says it's different, as everyone did well this week, so there's no shame in it. Mike is safe.

The bottom 2 is revealed to be Casey & Siobhan, as Siobhan will be leaving tonight.
