Amber closes the May 2 results show with her
emotional rendition of 'I Believe in You and
Me', while Angie Miller, Candice Glover and

the show.
After
getting
through a
week
without
elimination,
one great
talent was
sent home
on " American Idol" Thursday night, May 2.
"We know that one of us is going home this
week, so there's a lot of pressure," Kree
Harrison said as the Top 3 would be revealed.
"Aside from the finale, this is the toughest cut
of the season," Ryan Seacrest also said of the
imminent elimination. He later added, "We've
got no more saves, no more second chances,"
as Randy Jackson admitted, "It's hard to say,
because I love them all so very much."
After some musical performances, including
the final four's cover of "Crazy in Love", Ryan
announced who got the boot. "We have to say
goodbye to the beautiful and talented Amber
[Holcomb] tonight," he revealed.
This means Angie Miller, Candice Glover and
Kree are in the Top 3. Amber, meanwhile, sang
Whitney Houston 's "I Believe in You and Me"
as her goodbye song.
Also taking the stage that night were David
Cook , Harry Connick Jr., and will.i.am . The
season 7 champion sang his new single "Laying
Me Low". Harry, who mentored the finalists
this week, belted out "Every Man Should
Know", and will.i.am. performed "Bang Bang",
which is included in " The Great Gatsby " film
soundtrack.
