"Smile, though your heart is breaking..."

9:23 We’re back…Haley, Gina and Phil join Ryan onstage…They’re holding hands…Phil is still smiling…To safety goes…Phil. YES!!!...He’s stunned…He salutes the camera as he walks back…Haley and Gina are the bottom two…Gina is now crying…I think she’s very worried now that Phil is gone…

9:25 Haley is now crying…Just under 33 million votes, the highest total so far this season…Haley is staying…She starts crying…Gina is devastated…Jordin is stunned…Gina tells Haley, “Good job”…

9:26 “Home” goodbye video…Ryan is trying to comfort her as she bawls…

9:27 Melinda is now crying as Jordin continues her tears…Ryan tells her they’re going to miss her and Pickle (her good luck charm). She tosses Pickle into the audience (clearly frustrated with it)…Haley is still crying…Gina thanks her fans and says she’ll see them on tour…

9:28 Gina ironically is forced to sing, “Smile though your heart is breaking”…She changes the lyrics to “I’ll get by”…

9:29 Jordin is going to be crying a while…Gina forgets the words…The Idols join her…She lets Jordin and Melinda finish part of it for her…She thanks the audience again as she falls into Chris’ arms…I think I heard someone say, “I love you”…

9:30 And we’re out…
