American Idol 2013 Top 8 Results Show: Devin Velez Eliminated

Devin Velez gets the boot on  the Top 8 Elimination (Results Night) of American Idol Season 12, March 28 (March 29 in Manila). Devin, who sang his rendition of Tracks of My Tears on last night's performance show got the lowest number of votes and apparently, was not saved by the judges.

Devin, who has always been part of the bottom group was joined by Burnell Taylor and Lazaro Arbos in Ryan's stools tonight.

Before Devin was escorted out of the Idol stage, we were treated with the performances of returning American Idol alums Katherine McPhee (who sing with One Republic) and Colton Dixon. Idol judge Keith Urban also brought the house down.

Last night, the American Idol 2013 Top 8 gave us another spectacular, singing the Motown classics. With this theme being done almost every season, we of course would always expect Smokey Robinson being the guest mentor. 

Of last night's performances, it was Amber Holcomb, Candice Glover and Angie Miller's I'm Gonna Make You Love which stood out and then there's Amber's Lately performance which earned her a standing ovation from the judges. The boys' trio of Devin Velez, Burnell Taylor and Lazaro Arbos was just helpless after judge Nicki Minaj lash out on them for their very poor rendition of I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch).

Next week, the safe Idol contestants Kree Harrison, Candice Glover, Janelle Arthur, Angie Miller, Amber Holcomb along with Burnell Taylor and Lazaro Arbos will be back on the Idol stage to sing for your votes. Who will be eliminated next week? As this early, a girl to girl finale is almost 100% sure.
