It's the end of the road for Majesty Rose, as the 22-year-old flower child was voted off "American Idol" on Thursday.
Rose
was bounced after her performance of Florence + the Machine's "Shake It
Out" on Wednesday's performance episode. It earned solid reviews from
the judges but not enough support from voters. Rose didn't seem too
surprised by the results, and after landing in the bottom three the last
two weeks, perhaps she shouldn't have been.
Here's how Thursday's results shook out:
Majesty Says Goodbye"I think you're so close to breaking through in this competition," Harry
Connick Jr. told Rose after her performance Wednesday. But she won't
get another shot, as her third time in the bottom three turned out to be
her last.
Rose sang for the judge's save, bopping around the
stage to Pharrell's "Happy," but the judges didn't give her anything to
be happy about. "This has been the hardest deliberation from us, it
really has," Keith Urban told her after the performance. "We gotta agree
and by a narrow, narrow margin, we are not gonna use that save
tonight."
Rose kept an upbeat attitude over her dismissal, at
least on camera. "Oh my gosh, I don't want to cry on TV," she could be
heard saying as her season's highlight reel aired.
Sam Woolf, C.J. Harris Dodge A Bullet
Sam Woolf was in the bottom three for a second time, and C.J. Harris
made his first appearance in the "Idol" basement on Thursday. Both were
spared, although the clock could be ticking for both of them.
Mentor Randy Jackson gave high marks to Caleb Johnson,
Malaya Watson and Jena Irene for this week's performances, and said the
rest better start stepping it up. "The cream is starting to rise to the
top," he said.
Janelle Monae Hits The Stage
Sparkplug live performer Janelle Monae appeared onstage to perform "What
Is Love," her song from the "Rio 2" soundtrack. Monae turned the studio
into an all-out party, and was joined by an army of dancers as confetti
rained from the rafters during her performance.
It wasn't the
first time "Rio" has taken center stage on "Idol": will.i.am performed
"Hot Wings (I Wanna Party)," his song from the soundtrack to the first
film, on the show back in 2011. (Both "Rio" and "Rio 2" are distributed
by 20th Century Fox, obvs.)
Contestants Revisit Their Audition Songs
Next week, the top eight will revisit their audition songs, the songs
viewers and the judges first got to know them by. Ideally, there will
have been some improvement from then to now.
On Thursday's 30-minute result episode, one singer will vie for the judge's save, which is only available through the top six.
