On the topic of eliminations, how excited is everyone to hear season seven Idol winner David Cook singing this season’s send-off song every week? His cover of Simple Minds’ “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” debuted last night during Ashthon’s farewell video package.
If you watched the results show last night, you may have noticed that Casey Abrams was absent due to being hospitalized. According to The Hollywood Reporter, an Idol insider says that Casey has ulcerative colitis, which is “an inflammatory bowel disease which infects the lining of the large intestine." According to THR’s source, Casey has had to have two blood transfusions, since being admitted.
After the results show aired last night Casey tweeted, “hey guys, thanks for the well wishes, I got some nice fresh blood in me and feeling better. People at Idol & Cedars are treatin me real good.”
Poor kid, this is the second time in two weeks he’s made a trip to the hospital. Can you imagine if they had booted him off this week ala Christina Christian during season one?
Casey is expected to rejoin the Top 12 next week as they perform songs from everyone’s favorite overused theme week, “Songs From The Year They Were Born.” Season nine Idol winner Lee DeWyze is slated to perform his new single during next Thursday's results show.
What did you think of this week’s results? Did the right person go home, and do you think the girls are in trouble this season?

Robbie Rosen sucks, his "Welcome Back Kotter"-reject looks are the only reason girls liked him. That's the trouble with most female Idol fans, they vote based on what guys they think are cutest.
Lauren Turner was the one who truly deserved Ashton's wild card spot, in my opinion. She was a firecracker. Randy forced Ashton through because he wanted a big-voiced diva and obviously it was the wrong choice. Thank God she's gone, because she was truly lacking in talent.
Yes, the females are in trouble. EW picked Lauren Alaina as the runner-up behind their predicted winner Casey Abrams. I really kind of doubt that will happen.
I predict the public won't keep Alaina around that long. And I predict Abrams' health problems will force him to drop out. I hope it doesn't come to that for him, but he shouldn't push himself if it's going to land him in the hospital every week.
Scotty will walk away with the competition.
