Chapter 25

As always, another elimination night came quickly. The contestants were now use to it, but not with the fact that one of them had to go. However, they were now in the top 10, so that meant all of them will meet again for the summer tour.

No one was speaking in the red room. They were too nervous about what was going to happen that night.

The silence was broken when a voice spoke from the door, waking everyone up from their dreams "wow… I missed this place so much"

They all turned to the door and, to their surprise, David Cook was standing there grinning. Syd and Ronny jumped on their feet and run to hug the man, making him laugh hard at that. They took their chance to introduce to the man one by one.

David set down near Sky and Bridge and looked at the older smiling "So! I've heard Simon compared you to me? I feel honored!"

Sky's eyes grew wide "Are you kidding? I should be the one who is honored!"

David grinned at him shaking his head "I have to compliment you for your rendition of Iris. That was amazing"

Then he turned to Bridge and looked at him curiously. The boy looked away embarrassed. Why a star like David Cook was looking at him like that "you remember me a lot of Archuleta…"

The others suddenly busted out laughing as Bridge turned red "I'm kidding! You look so shy as he was but he was an amazing singer like you"

Then he turned to the others "Guys I've seen you all singing on that stage. You all had your night off but it's normal you can't have always your shining moment it's impossible. I know that tonight one of you have to go home but you will meet again for the summer tour. And trust me, if you think this is hard, that tour would be impossible. I've also seen the schedule for the next theme. Well, things will get harder"

In that moment, a crew member called all of them on the stage to get ready. David took is guitar and headed for one side, while the others headed for the other.

Mack and Cole were making fun of Sky because of his reaction in front of David, when Adele came behind them and smacked both of their head "will you two shut up for a moment??"

The others laughed hard as both men rubbed their head. David was right: no matter what was going to happen, they will be together for always.

Ryan appeared on the stage grinning as always "good evening everybody! I'm Ryan Seacrest. Welcome to the third elimination show of this season! We still have high number of votes so thank you very much! First of all let's say hi to our judges Randy, Paula and Simon!"

The three smiled at the crowd around them "let's talk for a moment Judges. Simon: what do you think about the contestants?"

The British man thought about it for a moment "I can tell you that at first only three of them made a huge impression of me. They were Sky, Adele and Cole. But after last night, I can easily add Bridge to the list" with that, the crowd erupted with cheers for little Bridge

Ryan nodded "Paula?" "I agree with him. Me and Randy were talking after last show and we thought that also Sydney could be added to that list"

The big man nodded "yeah. But we're also only at Top 10. We could change our mind easily"

Ryan nodded once again and headed for one side of the stage "ok. Right now we have a special performance for you America. He currently held the title of American Idol. With his first single from his self-titled album –Light On-, let's hear for David Cook!"

The crowd stood up as David entered from the big door on the stage and headed for the microphone in the centre. He looked around grinning as his band started playing the intro of the song.

Never really said too much
Afraid it wouldn't be enough
Just try to keep my spirits up
When there's no point in grieving
Doesn't matter anyway
Words could never make me stay
Words will never take my place
When you know I'm leaving

Try to leave a light on when I'm gone
Something I rely on to get home
One I can feel at night
A naked light, a fire to keep me warm
Try to leave a light on when I'm gone
Even in the daylight, shine on
And when it's late at night you can look inside
You won't feel so alone

You know we've been down that road
What seems a thousand times before
My back to a closing door and my eyes to the seasons
That roll out underneath my heels
And you don't know how bad it feels
To leave the only one that I have ever believed in

Sometimes it feels like we've run out of luck
When the signal keeps on breaking up
When the wires cross in my brain
You'll start my heart again
When I come along

When the songs ended Ryan went near him "how are you doing David?"

"Awesome! It's been a blast since this show ended. Thank you very much for the opportunity you've gave to me"

Ryan smiled at him "well, we didn't do much. You were the one who sang. Anyway, what do you think about the contestants this years?"

He cleared his voice "I actually talked with them before the show started and they were so nervous about tonight as we were when this show came every week. But I've also told them that no matter what will happen they will be amazing"

The crowd applauded at that "Thank you very much David for coming tonight. Let's cheer one more time for your currently American idol!"

David bowed his head as thank you and headed for the exit were he found the ten contestants "good luck guys!"

The ten smiled at him and waited for Ryan to call them "as you can see America, on this side we have a couch were I will send seven of the contestants and on this side you can see three stools were we will place the bottom three. Let's call first… Sydney and Elizabeth"

The two girls came on the stage hand in hand and headed for the centre "Sydney let's start with you. You've sang – you're so vain - all three judges said that that was your best performance and that you're now back in the competition. Elizabeth, you've sang – Carry on my wayward son – again, all three judges agreed that that was only good compared to the previous week. Sydney, have you heard what the judges said? You can now be one of the people that could win the show?"

The girls nodded "yeah I've heard. That would be amazing!"

"Well girls, America has decided that… both of you are safe!"

Both started screaming happily and run to the couch "let's continue with… Veronica and Sky"

The two showed up with Ronny in the front followed by Sky "Veronica you've sang – Crazy on you – the judges said you've had some problems with the melody and that it was strange seeing you sang an up-tempo song. Sky, you went with – all right now – Randy said that that was the best performance of the entire season till now, Paula said that you're ready to sell millions of album and, to ruin the mood, Simon said that it was a bit predictable"

The crowd bowed at that "America has decided that Veronica… you're in the bottom 3 tonight. Sky, you're safe"

The crow wasn't happy with that and bowed as the girl headed for the first stool "let's call… Adele and Mack"

The crowd stood up for the two as they went near Ryan "wow! You have some fans out there! Mack, you've sang – papa was a rolling stone – all three judges agreed that that kind of music is you're strength and you show massive personality. Adele, you decided to sing – don't play that song – Randy said that you're the next Aretha Franklin and Simon added that you're always good so they won't be able to criticize you. Are you crazy Simon?"

The crowd laughed at that as the man rolled his eyes "America has decide that… both of you are safe"

"Score!" they both shouted as they went to the couch with the others "that means America that between the four remaining contestants we have the other bottom three members. Let's see what America thing about Kira and Cole"

The two entered smiling at the crowd "Kira, you've sang – you're no good – all judges said it wasn't your best performance: Randy said it was very karaoke. Cole, you went with – how can you mend a broken heart – Randy said there weren't a note out of tune and all agree that you choose always the right song for you. After the vote of the nation, Cole… you're safe. That means kira you have to join Veronica"

The girl nodded sadly and went to the girl who hugged her "Let's watch the situation. On this side we have six safe people who will be surely back next week. On this side, we have part of the bottom 3. We still have two people in the backstage waiting. Bridge and Tyzonn come here"

The two headed for the centre near Ryan and smiled at the crowd "little Bridge, you've sang – Imagine – all three agreed on saying that yours was the best performance of the night. Simon added also that with that you could be the one who will win this season" the crowd cheered madly for the boy "Tyzonn, you choose – me and mrs Jones – the judges said that jazz is your style of music and that you also raised the bar. Only one of you, however, is safe. After the votes, Tyzonn… you have to join Veronica and Kira"

Bridge almost started crying and didn't notice the other glaring at him. the two girls joined Ty in the centre "America you have decided that Kira, Ty and Ronny are in the bottom 3 tonight. Let's send one of them to the couch. The first one who is safe is…"

The three closed their eyes waiting for the verdict "Tyzonn"

The boy sighed as he hugged the girls and went on the couch grinning at the others "Randy, who do you think will live tonight?"

The producer looked at both girls and sighed "I really don't know. Last night they weren't the best but both have great potential. Its hard this time"

Ryan nodded as both girl started crying softly "after the nation votes… Kira… you leave us tonight"

Both girl broke down in tears as they hugged. The others went in the centre of the stage with them "I'm not going to ask you to sing again Kira don't worry. It's all for tonight America. Thanks for watching us. Thanks to David cook and his band. Tune in next week for another great show. Good night!"

After partying with Kira and saying good bye to her, the contestants went straight home for a good sleep. The next day, when all the went down for breakfast, they found a note from the producers with the next theme. This time, Z read it

Congratulation top 9! Now things will start getting harder!

This season we decided to dedicate two weeks to two great singers and authors, one contemporary and one a little bit… older

You will begin with the older one next week.

You will be face to face with the music of the Beatles! Choose wise.

The producers

When Z finished reading, no one was speaking. They all were thinking of David's words "things will get harder…"

+-+-+

Done! With kira gone, now we're down to the Top 9! As always you can choose the song for them. I'm sorry to have given you hope with Ty gone but, he will be around again muahaha
