IDOL: THE TOP 5 PERFORM

This entry is part 3 of 4 in the series American Idol 2012 Season

The opening montage is about Elise’s shocking (totally non-shocking) departure from last week.

We made it, you guys! Last night I went to bed with the feeling that I — and all of Bachelor Nation, really — had accomplished something, though exactly what that thing is I’m not sure. It’s something. All I know is I’d hopped aboard a train and could not, would not get off. And now we have arrived! read more…
