American Idol (Season 11) - Top 7 (Part Redux)

Last week on American Idol, The judges gave their only save to Jessica Sanchez. Steven said it in the beginning of the show that they are going to use the save to Ryan Seacrest. Jennifer said "This is crazy" and "Yes, We are using the safe". Randy lectured the American Viewer for not voting for Jessica Sanchez. This week is going be a jugging act because two singers are going home tomorrow night. No one is safe this week.

(Side Note: Since Randy yelled at the America viewers last week, I think is going to backfire in Randy's face this week. What Randy did on  stage last week was unacceptable, it not help Jessica Sanchez cause of the win the American Idol title. It just hurt her chance of win the competition. He don't need to ram Jessica Sanchez our throats and plus he threw Joshua, Sklyar, Hollie, Elise, Colton, and Philip under bus. Randy showed that they are not good in this competition.)

Special Appearence: Kris Allen

This week musical theme is the song from Now & Then. Everyone will be singing two songs night.
