Philippine fans to the long time reality show were in for a spectacular treat as American Idol Season 12 wrapped up today, May 17. In a two hour long finale, past contenders from the current season and the seasons before performed once again on the Idol stage.

All 11 eliminated contestants opened the show with a rousing rendition of ‘Glad You Came’. The Idol judges also made the stage hot with their own performances where in one, Mariah Carey sang a medley of her hits and even impishly called out to Nicki Minaj to not ‘be shy, and join in.’

It was also good to see Janelle Arthur rocking out with The Band Perry. She let loose with a couple of vigorous kicks and enthusiastic head bangs. Angie Miller was also there with Adam Lambert in a ‘Titanium’ duet then later with her personal idol, Miss Jessie J. It was also right after that number that an invitation was extended to Angie to come to London and perform. She said yes, of course! Amber Holcomb later sang with Emeli Sande.

Top 3 - American Idol Season 12

The American Idol Top 3 results are in and Amber Holcomb, as predicted by majority of the AI fans, was the unfortunate one to get the lowest number of votes. She was sent home despite ‘stellar’ performances the past few weeks.

After the announcement of her elimination, Amber sang Whitney Houston’s ‘I believe in you and me.’ The rendition was heart wrenching and the judges and audience tried to suppress their tears. She also struggled with the song, visibly upset and trying hard not to cry. Unfortunately, her Father was ushered to the stage, making her emotionally vulnerable.

Now that the finale is drawing near and the Top 3 contestants remain, the anticipation for the American Idol Season 12 winner is heightened. Who will it be? Will it be Edgy Angie? Country Crooner Kree or Crystal Clear Balladeer Candice? Fans of the show will have to keep a vigilant eye to find out.

Its the third time I've watched Episode 11 of American Idol Season 11 today and I just can't get enough of the perfomance of the contestants on their renditions of the songs in the 50's and 60's. Really Awesome! It feels so good listening to those old songs.

What made me more love the episode is the fact that one of the contestants who did an AMAZING PERFORMANCE is Jessica Sanchez, a Filipino-Mexican. (I just learned it today, I really searched for her name) Wohoooooooo! Another Pinoy! I'm just so proud of her. I hope she will make it on Top 24, Top 12 and hopefully the next AMERICAN IDOL!
