While his duet of 'Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman?' with Casey James received rave reviews from the judges, trying to fill Michael Jackson's shoes on 'Will You Be There' proved to be the end of his run in the competition.
Earlier on in the season, his exit from Idol looked to be sealed by the public. However, the judges used their save option to keep him in the game.
Tonight's show also included performances from Bon Jovi, as well as former Idol contestants Chris Daughtry and Fantasia Barrino.
Remaining contenders James, Lee DeWyze and Crystal Bowersox will next week take the traditional trip back to their hometowns.
American Idol continues next Tuesday at 8pm on Fox.
