American Idol Results: Haley Reinhart eliminated; Scotty McCreery, Lauren Alaina face off in the finals

American Idol Top 3 Results

American Idol Season 10 Final 2 contenders revealed!

American Idol's last elimination this 10th Season has just happened with Haley Reinhart, the Survivor, being voted off the competition.

I call Reinhart as the Survivor because she managed to reach the American Idol Season 10 Top 3, after being part of the Bottom for at least 4 times, and she was the least favorite finalist during the first eliminations.

While the most shocking eleminations were during the times Pia Toscano and James Durbin were voted off, Haley Reinhart's elimination is the least schocking.

But I really admire Haley's competitive spirit and how she was able to prove her worth in the competition.

That puts Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina in the Final 2 and will face off in the American Idol Season 10 2-part finale happening this Tuesday and Wednesday.

Who's your bet to win this Season? My vote still goes for Scotty McCreery, my 2nd best next to James Durbin, who unfortunately got eliminated last week.

Last night's episode of American Idol Season 10 also featured Nicole Scherzinger (feat. 50-Cent) in one hot performance of "Right There".

American Idol eliminates remaining 'black' finalist Jacob Lusk

American Idol Season 10 eliminated once more another finalist last night and it's Jacob Lusk, the only remaining Black finalist in the Top 5.

And now he's gone, leaving 4 finalists who are all White and that just means American Idol will have its 7th white winner this season. That's kinda sad.

Jacob Lusk is actually a great performer, but not the best this season.

The competition in the American Idol Season 10 now becomes tougher as it comes closer to the finals happening on May 25 and 26.

And it becomes very clear who's most likely to be in the Final 2. For me, it's James Durbin and Scotty McCreey.

American Idol Season 10: Ranking the Top 5 finalists

American Idol Season 10 is now down to its Top 5 finalists after judges' favorite Casey Abrams was eliminated last Thursday.

With Abrams elimination, judges' decision to use their one-time "save" vote for Abrams during the Top 11 eliminations has been put to waste.

But at least, he was able to reach this far.

Casey Abrams was among those finalists this season who gave consistently good performances.

On Mykiru's weekly ranking, he was ranked #1 twice, but that was during the first weeks.

Recently he has been losing momentum and his elimination was actually not as surprising as Pia Toscano's elimination, but he was still among the best and 1 or 2 of the Top 5 remaining finalists should have been eliminated ahead of him.

Here's Mykiru's updated ranking for the remaining Top 5 finalists of American Idol Season 10 (James Durbin still the top choice, Haley Reinhart goin' up!)

1. James Durbin (Previous ranks: #7, #5, #2, #1)


2. Scotty McCreery (Previous ranks: #4, #3, #7, #4)


3. Haley Reinhart (Previous ranks: #11, #8, #11, #6)


4. Lauren Alaina (Previous ranks: #3, #2, #8, #3)


5. Jacob Lusk (Previous ranks: #6, #7, #6, #7)
