American Idol 2012 Top 5 Results Tonight Prompt Elise Testone Elimination

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – American Idol 2012 Top 5 results tonight prompted a stunning elimination in a great week. Prior to American Idol Top 5 results tonight April 26, 2012, many news analysts were perplexed if fans would vote off a recently marginal singer, or send home yet another front runner. Added to the confusion were strong performances by all the performers last night. But in the end, was a fan favorite eliminated in tonight’s top 5 results?
Last night, Hollie Cavanagh brought the house down with her performance of The Climb. Randy Jackson exclaimed “Hollie is back” and Jennifer Lopez called it simply perfect. Steven Tyler agreed, telling news “It’s so beautiful”.
On his second song, Phillip Phillips with The Stone was also strong. Randy Jackson said the song showed Phillip’s “true colors again”. Jennifer wasn’t so sure, calling it “too artsy”. Steven Tyler liked it calling it “very entertaining.”

Elise Testone was strong, but not stellar, on her delivery of Bold as Love. Randy Jackson told news that she “attacked the song.” Jennifer agreed, proclaiming “you slayed that song.” Steven told news that he was “touched” by the performance. But in recent weeks, Elise was sent to the bottom three. Could tonight pose a problem for Elise again?

Earlier in Wednesday’s performances, however, several singers were good, but not great. Phillip Phillips with Fat Bottomed Girls got marginal reviews. Randy said “I liked it. Yes. Did I love it. No.” Steven said he was running “out of breath”. And Jennifer wasn’t so sure about it.
