Jessica Meuse has been eliminated from American Idol : Everything. The aspiring singer will not be visiting her hometown as part of the show next week, but that’s okay probably. She has A LOT she wants to do now anyway. “I have a list that just goes on and on,” Meuse told reporters last night of what she wants to focus on next. Such as?!? “My plan is I’m going to build a studio. I’m going to make my CD. I’m going to write and collaborate with people. I’m trying to get into a little bit of acting,” she says. And she even know what kind of acting “I really want to be on Supernatural so bad. I am so unhealthily obsessed with that show that I just want to be in one episode, I don’t care if it’s a 10-second spot. I will just stand there in the background and be like, ‘Look! That’s me!'” Let’s make this happen, CW. Jessica Meuse American Idol Performances 1. Jessica Meuse – “Since U Been Gone” Jessica Meuse covers Kelly Clarkson for this American Idol performance.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez, a Nobel Prize-winning author and one of the most respected voices of the 20th century, died in Mexico City. He was 87 years old. According to The Associated Press, Garcia Marquez was hospitalized for an infection on April 9 and then released to convalesce at his home. Over the course of an impressive lifetime, the writer published six novels and seven nonfiction books, along with countless novellas and short story collections. His most famous novel, “One Hundred Years of Solitude,” was inspired by his grandmother. It has sold over 50 million copies worldwide. A native of Colombia, Garcia Marquez started his career as a journalist, eventually branching into literary nonfiction, mixing in narrative fiction elements to his reporting. In 1982, 15 years after “One Hundred Years of Solitude” he won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Three years later, he released another huge hit, “Love in the Time of Cholera,” which was made into a movie in 2007 starring Javier Bardem. Our condolences go out to his loved ones.

Following an American Idol performance show that displayed two of this season’s best covers to date, another contestant was sent home this week. We knew it wouldn’t be Jena Irene or Alex Preston , not after their vocals on Wednesday, and at least Ryan Seacrest didn’t drag out the drama. These were the first two to move on to the final six. Caleb Johnson then got the green light, with C.J. Harris next and then Sam Woolf moving on. So, it came down to Jessica Meuse and Dexter Roberts and the finalist going home is… DEXTER ROBERTS. No song. No chance for a save. Just many hugs from his fellow singers. Did viewers make the right call? Yes, but what a run! No, it should have been Jessica! No, it should have been Sam!

American Idol went back in time this week, as the contestants performed songs from the 1980s . But the remaining eight hopefuls could only look to the past for so long, as they were forced to consider the future on Thursday, namely: Who would be sticking around to take the stage against next Wednesday evening? In quick succession, those voted to safety were Caleb Johnson … followed by Jessica Meuse… and Dexter Roberts. CJ Harris was the first to land in the Bottom 3. We then learn that Alex Preston is safe, as is Jena Irene. This leaves Sam Woolf, CJ and Malaya Watson as the least popular trio, with Sam being called to safety and Ryan Seacrest telling the world that MALAYA WATSON has been eliminated. No final song this week, as the Save has been used. So, did viewers make the right choice? Did Watson deserve the boot? Yes, but what a run! No, it should have been Sam! No, it should have been CJ!

Thanks to the premiere of Surviving Jack (seriously… thanks!) the drawn-out American Idol results show was cut to 30 minutes this week. So we won’t waste any time in revealing the Bottom 3 after what most believed was a fairly entertaining performance episode : Sorry, Majesty Rose, CJ Harris and Sam Woolf . But even more sorry to Majesty in particular because she earned the lowest number of votes. The adorable young hopeful sang “Happy” in an attempt to earn the judges’ save. Alas. “This has been the hardest deliberation for us,” Keith Urban told the contestant and the audience. “It’s not about talent or ability. We got to agree. By a narrow margin, we are not using our save tonight.” And that’s the end of the line for Majesty Rose. Did viewers make the right call? Yes, but what a run! No, it should have been Sam! No, it should have been CJ! View Poll » Here is a look at the remaining eight finalists on American Idol Season 13: American Idol Season 13: Who’s Left? Open Slideshow 1.

We kicked off the first American Idol results show of Season 13 with a group sing and a promo for this summer’s tour. Okay, not the strongest opening. But, hey, there are 58 minutes to kill before we find out the initial finalist eliminated, isn’t there? After learning Ben Briley , Alex Preston and Jena Irene are say, Malaya Watson is sent to the Bottom 3. Up next? Dexter Roberts is safe. Majesty Rose and Sam Woolf are as well. But MK Nobilette is off to the Bottom 3. C.J. Harris, Caleb Johnson, Emily Piriz and Jessica Meuse? On to the next round. Kristen O’Conner? To the Bottom 3 – and there you have it. We then learn that O’Connor earned the least number of votes and her attempt at a judges’ save (“Turning Tables”) falls on deaf ears. KRISTEN O’CONNOR IS THE FIRST AMERICAN IDOL FINALIST ELIMINATED. Did viewers make the right choice in voting off O’Connor? Yes, but I wish her luck! No, it should have been MK! No, it should have been Malaya!
