Casey Abrams missed the American Idol 10 results show last night because he was hospitalized again, but he received enough voted to remain in the competition. Meanwhile, Ashton Jones was the first person voted out; she was one of the judges’ wild card picks last week, meaning she didn’t get enough votes to make the finals, so it shouldn’t be surprising that she didn’t get any votes (although Stefano and Naima, the other two wild cards, were not in the bottom three). At the start of the show, Ryan Seacrest announced that Casey was in the hospital again. Later, Casey wrote on Twitter , “I got some nice fresh blood in me and feeling better.” Two weeks ago, he was hospitalized for “severe stomach pains,” and also received a blood transfusion. The first results show was a mix of filler (an ad for Red Riding Hood disguised as a trip to the movies) and awkward results. I’ve liked Seacrest’s efficiency so far this season, telling people they’re either safe or in danger without being cruel, b...

« America’s Next Great Restaurant: Joey Galluzzi Explains Why His Concept Should Have Won | Home May 4, 2011 09:00:27 by Lisa Princ Last week we said goodbye to FOX ‘s top six finalist on American Idol who was recently saved by the judges, Casey Abrams . In a recent interview, Casey talks about possible future relationships as he rallies to support Haley Reinhart in the competition. Keep reading for all the details! Eliminated season ten contestant Casey Abrams of American Idol made it perfectly clear in his post elimination interview that he and Haley Reinhart are nothing but friends, and in a recent interview with OK!

Why didn’t you tell me this?’ I’m like, ‘Why are you believing this stuff?’” The Jazz crooner then went on to say he and Haley are such good friends that they would never date as he feels it would ...

The American Idol judges used their save on Casey Abrams, which means two finalists will go home next week but all 11 remaining contestants will go on the summer tour. Stefano Langone and Thia Megia were also in the bottom three, but Casey being on the bottom was a surprise, if not completely shocking. Nigel Lythgoe teased the shocking results, but I expected that to be something lame: at the most, a seemingly popular, praised contestant (Jacob, maybe?) ends up in the bottom three. But no, it was Casey, who has received praise from the judges even if he isn’t always perfect. Besides being a crowd-pleaser, he’s also popular on Twitter , thus ending the trends of the least-popular finalists on Twitter ending up in the bottom three. The judges interrupted Casey’s sing-for-your-life song to tell him they were going to save him, and although that was clearly pre-planned, he was genuinely shocked and emotional. He’d assumed the judges wouldn’t save someone this week because the results ton...
