Goodbye Alexis...I'll miss you

If you have been watching American Idol over the years, you know that there is going to be a week where someone who is going to be eliminated that will surprise. This was also a pivotal week because only the top 10 get to go out on the Idol tour.

The on line site dialidol.com predicted Alexis Grace had received the fewest number of votes.
How could this be? Alexis is a favorite among the females and some had her projected at least into the top 5. Her performance of "Jolene " certainly was what one would have thought would get you eliminated.

After Alexis found out the was the lowest vote getter, the judges considered using the one "save" they're allowed during the season. In fact, when Alexis and Michael Sarver were standing side by side, Simon said the judges were considering saving "one of them." After they made it known that they would try to save Alexis, it was obvious that Michael Sarver would not have been saved.

After Alexis performed "Jolene" one final time, the judges decided not to use their save this week. Ao Alexis is headed home and the fans will not get the chance to see her on the tour.
A real shame.

Michael Sarver is a nice guy. Glad he made it into the top 13. But if this is still mainly a singing competition, Alexis Grace should still be alive.

American Idol is Wednesday and Thursday next week due to President O'Bama taking to the air on Tuesday.
