Top 13 Results and Top 12 News

Posted: 11 Mar 2011 05:06 PM PST

Season 10 finalist Ashthon Jones was eliminated on Thursday’s American Idol after she received the fewest of America’s votes. On Wednesday’s performance show, the Top 13 performed songs by their music idols, and Jones, 24, from Valdosta, GA, sang “When You Tell Me That You Love Me.” In addition, Adam Lambert sang his latest hit, “Aftermath,” and Diddy-Dirty Money featuring Skylar Grey took the stage to perform “Coming Home.”

It was also announced tonight that the Judges’ Save returns this season. Like last year, up until only five finalists remain, the judges - if they unanimously agree – have the option to save from elimination the finalist receiving the lowest number of votes. The judges do not have to save a finalist during the competition. However, if they choose to use the Judges’ Save, they may only do so once during the season. The following week, the two finalists receiving the lowest number of votes will be eliminated.

On Wednesday, March 16 8/7c, the Top 12 (Casey Abrams, Naima Adedapo, Lauren Alaina, James Durbin</… read more
