Jeremy Rosado was booted out in tonight’s elimination episode of American Idol 11. He was part of the bottom two together with Elise Testone. The two got the lowest percentage of votes from among the top 13 contestants of the show.
The judges chose to save Elise, letting go of Jeremy.
Jeremy sang Stevie Wonder’s Ribbon In The Sky during the top 13 performance night. Although Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler praised his beautiful voice, Randy Jackson said that Jeremy lacked swag for the song.
American Idol 10 runner-up Lauren Alaina forgot the lyrics of Star-Spangled Banner, the US National Anthem, while singing the song at the Green Bay Packers-Detroit Lions Game on Thanksgiving.
It was too early into the song (only the second line) when instead of "at the twilight's" she sang "thru the twi..." then paused for like 4 seconds and resumed singing starting with "last gleaming..."
Lyrics:
Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
It was an awkward moment for the singer as the audience and the athletes themselves tried to help her by singing the song out loud.
The silence could be mistaken for a cut mic. But if that was the case, the 4 seconds that passed with no mic could have already brought her to at least the third line of the song if she continued singing. Or it could also be that something went down her throat.
We couldn't really tell what happened from this video because the camera wasn't on Lauren when that 4-second pause happened. But I'm sure some people in the audience have camcorded her at the event. Let's just wait for their vids to be uploaded to YouTube.
Watch Lauren Alaina's much talked about I-forgot-the-lyrics moment in the video after the jump.

Now that the music videos for their debut singles have been released, American Idol 10's winner Scotty McCreery and runner-up Lauren Alaina are geared towards releasing their respective debut albums.
In an interview with Good Morning America (GMA) on August 12 (Friday), Scotty said he's so proud of his upcoming album because he has been working nonstop for it since the American Idol finale. And what are his plans following the album release? "I'm going back to school," he said. "It's my senior year!"
Aside from the interview, the very famous senior high school student sang I Love You This Big on the GMA stage to the delight of fans.
Lauren Alaina was also on GMA but didn't talk much due to bronchitis. She did perform Like My Mother Does well, though.
After AI's finale last May, Scotty and Lauren both signed contracts with Mercury Nashville last June. Scotty's album titled Clear As Day will be released October 4, 2011. Lauren's Wildflower will be out a week after on October 11, 2011.
American Idol 10 runner-up Lauren Alaina debuted the music video of her first single, Like My Mother Does, on Country Music Television (CMT) with behind-the-scenes footage of the video shoot.
The music video features pictures and home videos from Lauren's childhood, with her mother doing a cameo towards the end.
Like My Mother Does was released almost three months ago when Lauren was declared runner-up of American Idol 10. It was one of the songs she sang at the show's finale and it debuted at No. 20 on Billboard's Hot 100 and No. 11 on the Billboard Digital Songs chart.
CMT will air a similar special for Scotty McCreery's I Love You This Big next Tuesday.
Watch Like My Mother Does music video below.
The American Idol 10 finalists are having a concert here in Manila on September 20, 8 PM, at the Araneta Coliseum. This is the first time that the country is included in the American Idol Live Tour and I'm sure every Idol fan is excited.
There are 11 finalists in season ten because the judges used the "Judges Save" too early (before the Top 10) to save Casey Abrams.
The 11 finalists include the Filipino-American Thia Megia and I think that's reason enough for Pinoys to see the show.
Aside from Thia, other finalists include Scotty McCreery, Haley Reinhart, Lauren Alaina, James Durbin, Casey Abrams, Jacob Lusk, Pia Toscano, Paul McDonald, Stefano Langone, and Naima Adedapo.

The last two remaining American Idol 10 contestants Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina battled it out with three rounds (or three songs) this evening. The first song being their favorite performance in the season, second was a song chosen for them, and third was the song that would also be their first single.
Scotty started off the show with Gone, which was his favorite performance. Check Yes or No, the song George Strait chose for him, was his next song. For his final performance, he sang Love You This Big, which therefore became his first official single.
Lauren, on the other hand, chose Flat on the Floor as her favorite performance. She followed it up by Maybe it was Memphis which Carrie Underwood chose for her. Like My Mother Does was her final performance (and first official single).
Check out videos of Scotty and Lauren's performances after the jump.
