The bottom three was really no surprise but most assumed it would be Kristy Lee Cookinstead of David Hernandez who would be given the boot. After surviving last week amid widespread media coverage of his three-year as a stripper as a gay club, David was left to sing for his place on the show. He was amazing last week but on Tuesday, notsomuch.
When he sang "I Saw Her Standing There" again tonight, it was a reminder of what lackluster a choice it was for him. But, he remained stoic before leaving the stage: "Honestly, things happen for a reason. I think we all have a plan. ... This isn't it for me."

I'm planning to participate in the conference call tomorrow with David and hope to have it posted before lunch! Here is what he said in the new issue of TV Guide: "It's strange, because I feel like my personal life is no longer personal anymore. I wish more people would focus on the talent than our personal lives, but I guess it's just the name of the game. It's invasive and sometimes annoying, but if you let it get to you, then you won't really focus on the singing. And that's just not cool."
