Top 11 Results: And the Person Going Home Is...

Let me just say right now that based on performance, Paige deserves to go home. But I think you know that I would not be hurt at all if it was Tim…

9:54 We’re back…Paige and Tim stand next to Ryan…Tim puts his arm around Paige…Lights down…And it’s Paige…She hugs Tim…Ryan asks Simon for reaction and words of encouragement for Paige. Simon says that no matter how good her performance is, she’s going home. He then tells her to take herself back to where she was when they first met her. Ryan asks Simon if it’s unanimous and they all say that it is…Ryan asks Paige about her experience...Goodbye video rolls. I appreciate that they didn’t bother to even pretend that the judges were going to debate it and are just going to give Paige a decent goodbye…I notice that none of the other girls are crying…Man do I hope she doesn’t sing “Against All Odds”…Ryan thanks everyone and then introduces Paige. She does “Alright Now.” It’s better than “Odds,” but still a terrible choice…Still no tears from anyone. Is that because they’re happy to be on the tour or because of something else? Hmmm…The Idols slowly come up to her…

10:00 And we’re out…

Final thoughts in a moment...
