Erika Van Pelt, Skylar Laine and Shannon Magrane up next as "American Idol" chops to 12 Thursday night.

It'll be Magrane and Van Pelt, they need a bottom three and there are still two spots to fill. I actually didn't think Magrane was as bad as the judges thought.

Van Pelt is indeed in the bottom; along with Magrane.

Phillip Phillips, Joshua Ledet, Jeremy Rosado and Deandre Brackensick next up to learn their fate. Two spots left in the bottom three, I think it'll be Rosado and Brackensick. If you're a wild card you gotta blow us away to pick up support, neither of them did enough.

Phillips is safe, Rosado is in the bottom three and in a surprise, Ledet is in the bottom three too!

Oh, and then Ledet and Van Pelt are immediately sent back to safety! Even so, quite a fall for Ledet, the "church boy" with the big voice who at one point was a favorite to be there at the end.
