The first Results Show of American Idol’s season seven sent four hopefuls home, leaving only 20 finalists behind to stay on FOX’s hit reality TV talent search. After singing their hearts out, two male and two female were eliminated from the show. They males were Garrett Haley and Colton Berry , while the females were Amy Davis and Joanne Borgella.
The episode started with all the 24 contenders belting out a medley of songs, all from the 60’s. One segment of the show also featured Paula Abdul’s newest music video.
The first elimination was a fast and easy one. Host Ryan Seacrest asked Haley to come to the stage and then bluntly told him that he’d be heading home. Haley can be remembered as the one who sang Niel Sedaka’s “Breaking Up is Hard to Do” during the Top 12 Male Performances episode. His rendition of the song didn’t impress any of the judges that night. Simon even told him that he needs some fresh air and sunlight. And in a very rare event, Randy agreed with what Simon just said.
Colton Berry, on the other hand, was pitted against Chikezie Eze first before he received the news that it was also his time to bid the show goodbye. Simon frankly told him that he doesn’t see a musical career in Colton ’s future. Simon also advised him to find a day job instead and just sing for fun. On the top 12 Male Performances episode, Eze sang Elvis Presley’s “Suspicious Minds.”
The first female to receive the bad news was 25-year-old Amy Davis. She sang Connie Francis’ “Where the Boys Are” on the Top 12 Female Performances episode.
Joanne Borgella and Amanda Overmyer stood beside each other until the second female to leave the show was announced. Plus-sized model Borgella was the unfortunate one. Her rendition of Aretha Franklin’s “I Say a Little Prayer” on the Top 12 Female Performances episode certainly didn’t please anybody at all.
Watch the remaining 20 finalists as they all compete for the title American Idol.
