‘American Idol’: Which two contestants are out?

“You won’t believe who’s going home,” a card at the start of “American Idol” read tonight.
Actually, I would. They were two logical choices after Wednesday’s performance show.
On tonight’s show, the 11 hopefuls performed in a quartet, a trio and two duos as host Ryan Seacrest dragged out the results.
Fantasia returned, blond and bold in red gown, to sing “Collard Greens & Cornbread” forcefully. Her look suggested she is ready to tackle the role of Mae West. She ended the song by declaring, “Steven, I love you.” (That would be judge Steven Tyler, who looked touched.)
Fantasia, turning bittersweet, advised the hopefuls to love the music in what is a tough business. “You have to keep good people with you,” she said. “You have to keep people with you who are not just going to tell you yes.”
Jamie Foxx and will.i.am presided over a busy production number for “Hot Wings (I Wanna Party)” from the movie “Rio.” Did they seem half-hearted? Oh, well, a commercial for the movie soon followed.
A taped segment revealed how emotional Casey Abrams became after the judges saved him last week. No such problems this week: Seacrest said the votes would have made Abrams proud. (Don’t you wish we could see what they are?)
SPOILER ALERT: The results were the main business.
Naima Adedapo, Thia Megia and Paul McDonald were in the bottom three.
Because the judges used their only save last week, two people were out this week. Naima and Thia were the two. In a taped segment, Naima said the show had changed her life.
The next performance show will be at 8 p.m. Wednesday on WOFL-Channel 35.
