Episode Recap

Casey Carlson was the first up tonight for elimination. Last night she sang Ever Little Thing She Does is Magic which was chewed up by the judges. She didn't go through.

Stephen Fowler sang Rock With You last night and the judges thought that he chose the wrong song. He also didn't make it through to the top 12.

Alexis Grace was called up next by Ryan Seacrest and the crowd cheered for her. She sang I Never Loved A Man last night and Simon Cowell had called her a dark horse of the competition. She was the first to make it through to the top 12. Alexis then was asked to sing the song from last night and rocked it.

Ricky Braddy and Jackie Tohn were called up together. Ricky sang A Song For You and Jackie sang A Little Less Conversation. Both had ho hum performances last night and both were rejected.

Anoop Desai or Anoop Dog and Michael Sarver were up next. Angel Of Mine was the song choice by Anoop and Michael chose I Don't Want to Be last night. Michael made it through and Anoop Dog was sent packing. Only 20,000 votes separated Anoop and Michael.

Carly Smithson and Michael Johns from last season came out and sang The Letter. Michael Johns album will be out in May and he will have a new single out in just two weeks!

The next three contestants came up to see Ryan Seacrest. They were Brent Keith Smith, Anne Marie Boskovich and Stevie Wright.

Anne Marie sang Natural Woman and Stevie sang You Belong to Me. Kara DioGuardi thought that Anne Marie's song was too big for her and Simon Cowell said Stevie had zero chance to make it in. Brent sang Hick Town and Randy Jackson said that he would make a good country artist. None of them made it in.

Last but not least were Tatiana Del Toro and Danny Gokey. The drama began with Tatiana as she started to wave her hands and couldn't speak. Paula Abdul was asked who she though made it through and she chose Danny. Tatiana sang Saving All My Love for You and Danny sang Hero. The person going through to the top 12 was Danny!
