Simon Cowell didn't think Colton Berry could cut it as a recording artist following the American Idol seventh-season semifinalist's rendition of "Suspicious Minds" during last Tuesday night's performance episode broadcast -- a comment the teenager labeled as "hypocritical" since the judge had a hand in putting him in the Top 24.
American Idol's seventh season finally began in earnest this week, with Tuesday and Wednesday's first performance shows culminating in last night's live results show that eliminated the four seventh-season Top 24 semifinalists (two male, two female) who had received the fewest home viewer votes after this week's performances.
After four weeks of open audition broadcasts and two more episodes that gave viewers a look at the competition's Hollywood Round, last night's American Idol seventh-season broadcast ended with the mega-hit Fox reality show finally revealing the identities of this season's Top 24 semifinalists.
