AI 11: Colton Dixon is eliminated (Top 7 Redux results show)

Colton Dixon got the lowest number of votes among the remaining contestants of American Idol 11. He was sent packing during the top 7 redux results show.

With him in the bottom 3 were Hollie Cavanagh and Elise Testone. The two had been in the bottom numerous times and it was sad that Colton got eliminated on his first time at the bottom 3.

He sang Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance and Earth Wind & Fire’s September during the top 7 redux performance show and it seemed that America didn’t like his performances enough to vote for him.

Who would have thought that Colton would be eliminated this early? Most bloggers were rooting for him and Phil Phillips, saying that a white man would win, as had been in the past few seasons.

Also, if you would look at the contestants’ Twitter following, Colton was among the three with the most number of followers, the other two being Phil and Fil-Mexican Jessica Sanchez. But, of course, it cannot be based on Twitter as what we witnessed last week when Jessica was eliminated (and got the once per season judges’ save).

The competition is getting stiffer with only six contestants battling it out for the votes. But then it really all comes down to what songs they choose to sing and how they connect to the voters through their singing.

Who do you think will be part of the top 5? But more importantly, who do you think will be going home next week?
