Jacob Lusk is up next on "American Idol." He joins Lauren Alaina in the danger group. Then Haley Reinhart. She'll be with James Durbin's group I think. And she is indeed.

Scotty McCreery last; does he join a group and make it the bottom or the top three? He joins Haley and James; they're all safe. Poor Lauren is crying.

And it's indeed Jacob who gets cut. Man, I so hope he sings "God Bless the Child" as his last song.... He got some mad praise this year; I really liked him, but he never got it together in the finals, didn't have consistency or really any breakout moments.

He does Luther Vandross, "House is Not a Home," it's a powerful performance that reminds us exactly what we're losing; crazy good, drawn-out ending.

And then there were the fab four....
