The first visually impaired American Idol finalist, Scott MacIntyre is the latest one to be sent home on the hit Fox show. Lil Rounds and Anoop Desai joined Scott in the bottom three.
“You’ve been an inspiration to the world,” Paula Abdul said.
Scott, 23 sang “The Search is Over” on the Tuesday performance night. Kara appreciated Scott playing the guitar but said that he has some off moments. Paula admired Scott’s effort to step away from the piano; but said that some high notes sounded rough. Simon thought that Scott should go back to the piano next week. Randy said that the performance didn’t have a “star quality.”
For the past few weeks, judges Simon and Paula kept on debating whether Scott should play the piano or not.
During the results show, Frankie Avalon, Flo Rida, and Kellie Pickler performed.
Next week on American Idol, finalists will sing popular movie theme songs with Quentin Tarantino as their mentor.
