Hollie Cavanagh cut, Jessica Sanchez, Joshua Ledet, Phillip Phillips storm into 'American Idol' final three

Like most people I'm thinking Cavanagh will be gone; but first the judges take turns praising each of them. It really is a fantastic final four, in 11 years of watching of watching the show there's never been a more vocally talented group at this stage, and they're all so different.

And first one into the final three is... Sanchez! Second person in is... Ledet! And then they go to break. Afterward, the last person named is... Phillips! I'd have rather have had Cavanagh make it, but Phillips has built too big of a fan base.

But halfway through the finals, helped by positive reinforcement from the judges and some canny song choices, she found her voice and soared. The last few weeks I've consistently had her in the top three.

She has an unreal vocal ability, nice personality and a deep drive. Not to mention that unique half Texan/half British accent of hers.

Hope this isn't the last we've heard of her.
