Katie Stevens, Andrew Garcia voted out from ‘American Idol’

Andrew Garcia and Katie Stevens were sent home, with the former being (sadly) a no-brainer and the latter a mild surprise at best. Neither looked shocked to be going. Garcia was the calmest, happiest exit interview that I can remember, and Stevens had a grumpy expression from the moment Ryan Seacrest sent Tim Urban to safety and left her alone with Michael Lynche on center stage.

Of course, even one week after Lynche was the lowest vote-getter and needed the judges’ save to survive, he wasn’t actually among the bottom three this time around. He was only there because Ryan apparently enjoys picking on people much bigger than he is, like Simon Cowell and some of the teenage girls who squeal in the mosh pit for Urban every week. Ryan, Ryan, Ryan. Lynche has already used you as a barbell once this season. Pick on someone smaller than you instead, like … Aaron Kelly, I guess.

But in fairness to Ryan, he may have been desperate to add some spice to a week that was strangely bland, given the unpredictability of a double elimination week. He certainly didn’t have much to work with, as “Idol” tried to stretch about 10 minutes worth of content into a 60-minute show with predictable results.

Katie Stevens said that she met amazing people and had amazing experience with them which she can’t forget for ever. She says, it was her best performance.

She sang ‘Baby What You Want Me to Do’ on Tuesday, which was appreciated by three judges among four. As part of her farewell, she presented an emotional-touch song ‘Let it Be’ with tears in her eyes.

Her mother accompanied her farewell through a taped package. She said that there aren’t any words to express how proud they are. Also, the host, Ryan Seacrest expressed his view that everyone in the show will be missing her and he added, “She made the room cry”.

However, she will be still part of the ‘American Idol Live’ tour this summer, as she made Top 10 in the show three weeks ago. Its known fact that America knows her name, voice in order to assure that she has got a bright music career.
