The votes, 51 million of them, have spoken.

Question: do that many people actually vote in presidential elections?

We got to hear Maroon 5 (Frankie Valli vocal falsetto throwback) and southern rocker Idol alum Bo Bice do a nice turn on stage.

Ryan shares that the final three get the prodigal son's (daughter) return to their respective hometowns. B Roll runs of the final four's trip to Vegas for the Cirque Du Soleil Beatles LOVE show. At least they were spared Carrot Top.

The call in for the fans at home puts David Cook in an awkward spot, as one birthday lady asks him out. Seacrest is thrown furtive daggers from Cook as he thinks of diplomatic exit questions to end the misery.

One of my favorite Cash classics, "Ring of Fire," is hijacked to sell Ford Mustangs. Great.  Toyota for life, 'ya hear me ad agency that does this music liscensing travesty?

Moving on; after Maroon's Adam Levine gives some sobering advice on what to expect after the show, and Bo Bice does a wah-wah thingy with his mouth, the results are as follows:

David Archuleta and David Cook are safe and in the top 3.

Then, Syesha and Jason are together, and Syesha is safe. 

Jason Castro leaves tonight.
