Top 10 Most Shocking Eliminations on American Idol Part 2

[@monterreyanddave]

Mandisa is now a Grammy Award winning artist. 😍

[@popsingerstar]

now shes singing again in heaven

[@Scottwilkie18]

Melindas elmination shocked me

[@Scottwilkie18]

Latoya’s elmination was stupid

[@briansherrod1916]

These videos bring back so many memories! Now I’m sad all over again!

[@amandacress5132]

1. At least Mandisa is doing well today. 2. That was a joke at this point. Just why? 3. I wish I voted for her instead of Sanjaya that year. Would that had made a difference is the question. 4. Do I need to explain how pissed off I was here? Saying that alone is an understatement. 5. Why did the original American Idol have to go out with a whimper? He should have won. 6. Ugh! For the love of all that's good. A fantastic season got a crappy finale. 7. This made me cry. I loved Carly. 8. This was shocking to say the least. To this day, Jasmine is still writing those thank you letters to Hawaii. 9. I think we were in need of a shocker like this to be honest. Melinda is still talented and I am glad Jordin Sparks won. 10. Our very first American Idol shocker.

Look at Randy's face at 2:27! Even he wasn't pleased with James being eliminated! He was just like, "Scotty's going through, ok whatever." Also, you can hear the booing from the audience when Melinda and Tamyra were eliminated!

[@brandonsytes8373]

The judges were mad that Haley was safe. (Vs Scotty). Judges really had it out for Haley that season.

[@giovannia5685]

Ryan: The person, who will face off against Scotty in the finale is……. Lauren Alaina!! Lauren: 😃😃😃😃😃😄😄😄 Haley: 😐😐😐😐😐😐😐 Haley is a queen; look where she is now. 👏🏿

[@MultiRachel05]

James Durbin’s elimination shocked me the most.

[@Scottwilkie18]

Nikki surviving for as long as she did was dumb Tamara should’ve at least made it to the final three

[@Chelaxim]

Poor wording since ya know...

[@Piggy_Piggerson]

Tamyra was amazing throughout the competition but she probably gave the worst performance of the whole night (New Attitude) while Nikki gave her 2 personal best performances. Was a weird night because of Kelly and Tamyra being sick, however Kelly still pulled through

[@Ayeee155]

Season 5 was a pretty shocking one to me. Chris and Elliott felt like a slam dunk final, and Mandisa went home earlier than I thought. Taylor was def not an American Idol winner worthy singer and Katharine really didn’t have a good Elvis night. America got it wrong a lot in S5.

[@azzz7279]

I thought Chris & Katharine were going to be in the finale, that would’ve been the perfect finale ! Taylor winning felt like a joke

[@tiffanymharris2986]

Mandisa passed away at the age of 47...😮😢😢

[@sonnychauhan1447]

i wouldnt really call mandisa's elimination a shock she did have a god awful country week

[@bellabliss1860]

oh man Gina's elimination was beyond BS, completely forgot about how messed up that one was

[@otterwithadarkside4422]

I don't know I this was shocking to anyone else, but I was surprised when Gabby Barret got eliminated. I mean she did pretty good she made it to the top 3 and she's one of the best country singers Idol has ever had, but I was still shocked! I thought she was gonna either get 2nd place or win it all. But she is doing AWESOME now and I'm really proud of her. It was actually kind of good that she didn't win!

[@Cablecol]

It's ok she's famous now💞

[@RyderZachary23]

6:52 *RYAN SEACREST: You are eliminated this week.* 😔 6:53 *TAMYRA GRAY: 😌😏* *AUDIENCE: 😱😭* 7:09 *KELLY CLARKSON: 😮* *JUSTIN GUARINI: 😒*

[@RyderZachary23]

7:17 *TAMYRA GRAY: It's alright.* 😄

[@peaceloveerin100]

Unpopular opinion, but I thought Haley Reinhart overstayed her welcome and I thought she was extremely overrated. I wasn't surprised at her elimination at all!

[@vidpie]

The American Idol S10 Top Three have all done well compared to most Idol contestants. Current monthly Spotify listeners: Scotty - 3,216,914 Lauren - 4,262,794 Haley - 5,441,886 Jacob Lusk has found recent success as the frontman for Gabriels, appearing with Elton John at Glastonbury: "During his headline performance at Glastonbury Festival, Elton John welcomed Jacob Lusk of Gabriels fame to the stage to perform ‘Are You Ready for Love’ to the largest audience that the Pyramid Stages has seen all weekend."

[@squeallymaniac]

​@@vidpie I did not expect Haley to be the highest ngl

[@jahbvbypost]

Fantasia had to send Jennifer & Latoya Damn

[@xavjos]

Pia and Jennifer should have won, and the way Seacrest kicked out Daughtry was cold and cruel.

[@prettyfa]

RIH Mandisa🕊️🙏🏽

[@Scottwilkie18]

10. Ridiculous

[@sonnychauhan1447]

rip mandisa

[@alextrinrud8263]

I don't remember half of them

[@amandacress5132]

In my opinion James should have won season 10 with Haley Reinhart runner up. What a stupid decision to make a Country Music showdown in Scotty and Lauren.

[@MultiRachel05]

I agree!

[@alika207]

I wanted it to be James and Scotty!

[@stevenvalencia2003]

Latoya elimination was a joke really she got eliminated because the jasmine trias cried the night before after being torn to shreds by the judges we call that the million dollar tears an Latoya was a casualty of a sympathy vote for jasmine

[@Scottwilkie18]

Jasmine surviving for as long as she did was dumb

[@machoman1016]

She's still writing those thank you letters to Hawaii right to this day lol.

[@mixboy79]

@@machoman1016 lol

[@mixboy79]

Exactly she should have been gone way before top 3

[@RyderZachary23]

7:17 *TAMYRA GRAY: It's alright.* 😄
