Last four contestants were battling it out for the title of American Idol 2010 till the Wednesday night. It was the night that was to save the fate of the three contestants to go in the next episodes of the show. But this night had to send one of the contestants back home.Big Mike was once saved, but tonight it’s the end of the road for the American Idol hopeful from St. Petersburg, FL. The ones to reach the Top 3 are Crystal Bowersox, Lee DeWyze and Casey James.Though Casey James was a surprise element in the Top3, the other two names were indeed favorites among the audience. Michael Lynche received the fewest of America’s nearly 37 million votes – the highest of the season. On Tuesday’s performance show, the Top 4 performed hit songs from the movies, and Lynche, 26, sang “Will You Be There?” from “Free Willy.” In addition, this evening’s results show featured special performances by Daughtry, Fantasia and rock legend Bon Jovi. “It’s been unbelievable,” Lynche told host Ryan Seacrest after learning his fate. “I wasn’t even supposed to be here. … It’s all good, man.” “I’m here now, and I think how I wasn’t supposed to be here. Thank God for the judges saving me. I got to spend more time here, be with the people … it’s all good, man.” Next week, the Top 3 finalists will compete head-to-head on the second-to-last performance show of the season, airing Tuesday, May 18 (8:00-9:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on Fox. Each contestant will sing two songs – judges’ choice and finalist’s choice – as they vie for a coveted spot in the finale. Tune in the following night, Wednesday, May 19 (9:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed), to find out which two finalists will face off in the final showdown at the NOKIA Theatre L.A. LIVE. During the live results show, Travis Garland will take the stage, and pop sensation Justin Bieber will perform his hits “Baby” and “U Smile.” After the 18th May episode, only two will remain on the show after 19th May’s episode. These two would fight for the crown that is to be won on 26th May 2010 in the grand finale episode of the show. The finale would not only bid goodbye to one of the two finalists, but it would also end its journey with one of the judges, Simon Cowell who voluntarily left the show for The X Factor.
