American Idol 2012 Top 3 Results Night: Joshua Ledet Eliminated!

Joshua Ledet got the boot on American Idol 2012 Top 3 Results Show (Elimination Night) May 17 (May 18 in Manila). 

Joshua joined the ranks of Haley Reinhart, Syesha Mercado, Elliot Yamin, Melinda Doolittle, Jasmine Trias and other Idol Top 3 finalist who missed out the opportunity to be a member of American Idol Top 2 and the chance to compete in the finale.

Joshua Ledet failed to make it to the finale and has just been voted out of American Idol Season 11

The American Idol Season 11 Top 2 spots were snatched by Jessica Sanchez and Phillip Phillips, who will battle it all out for next week's finale (May 22 performance and May 23 results show).

Before Joshua made his final vow on the American Idol stage, Idol alumnus and Season 8 runner-up Adam Lambert performed his new song, Never Close Our Eyes (from his sophomore album "Trespassing" which dropped May 15) while Lisa Marie Presley sang You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet, her latest single from her new album “Storm & Grace.” 

Joshua Ledet is one of the favorites to make it in the finale and his performances last night earned rave reviews from the judges, who again gave Joshua a standing ovation for his performance of Etta James' classic, I'd Rather Go Blind which was picked for him by Randy Jackson. He also tackled John Lennon's Imagine and Mary J. Blige's No More Drama to a great extent.

Who will be crowned as the 11th American Idol winner? Well, it's up to America on who they want to win. I'm just hoping that whoever wins this thing, all the eliminated talented contestants will be given their own spots in the music industry.

American Idol 2012 Top 3 Song Spoilers

American Idol Season 11 Top 3 Performance night is getting near and many wonder what the Top 3 (Jessica Sanchez, Joshua Ledet and Phillip Phillips) will be singing for May 16 performance show. We got here the complete list of songs that will be included in the song list of American Idol Top 3.

American Idol 2012 Top 3 -  Phillip, Jessica and Joshua will perform 3 songs each on May 16

The American Idol 2012 Top 3 will be singing 3 songs - their own choice, the judges' choice and Jimmy Iovine's choice.

According to American Idol producer Nigel Lythgoe, there will be an interesting line up for the Top 3 performance night. He teased with some interesting song choices for the Top 3. Nigel dropped 3 songs that will be sung by any of Jessica, Joshua or Phillip. 

The three songs were Imagine, Beggin' and I'll Be There.

If we are to match the songs with the Idol Top 3, here is what we believe each will be singing:

Joshua Ledet - Beggin'

Jessica Sanchez - I'll Be There

Phillip Phillips - Imagine

That is what we predict based on the characteristic of the song which might fit the singers but it will be really difficult to predict who will be singing what song. Personally, I would love to hear Jessica sing Beggin'  for a change.  Phillip can also do his thing with the song but we think this will be given to Joshua.

Imagine  might be a no-brainer for Joshua so we thought he will be singing something else. However, we can also assume that these 3 songs were only for one idol hopeful or at least 2 of those. Maybe, Beggin' and I'll Be There will be both for Joshua Ledet and Imagine will be for Phillip Phillips. It could also do the same for Jessica Sanchez.

At any rate, these are just 3 songs out of the possible 9 (see list below) songs that we will all be hearing come Top 3 performance night, May 16.

Here is the complete list of songs for the Top 3 performance night:

• “Imagine” – John Lennon
• “My All” – Mariah Carey
• “No More Drama” – Mary J. Blige
• “We’ve Got Tonight” – Bob Seger
• “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing” – Aerosmith
• “Beggin’” – Madcon
• “I’ll Be There” – Jackson 5
• “Disease” – Matchbox 20
• “I’d Rather Go Blind” – Etta James

What do you think? Which one your idols will sing?
