‘American Idol’ Recap [VIDEO]: Could Top 9 Episode Ratings Mean An End To The Show For Good?

'American Idol' recap reveals Thursday night's results. From 9 contestants, 'American Idol' went down to 8 contestants, and Thursday's cut in a record of just 30 minutes. 'American Idol' recap question: Was the cut made or did the judges use their save?

'American Idol' recap will reveal that the group sing was moved to performance night. Ryan Seacrest had to cut to the chase and announce Majesty Rose going home. Unfortunately so, her and Sam Woolf's performances have been disappointing at best. The 'American Idol' judges say that Sam is having trouble connecting with her songs, while Majesty just keeps picking the wrong tunes and struggling with her identity as an artist.

Majesty has already had problems before as she had been in the bottom three two times before. Her fan base also hasn't been growing because of her performances. 'American Idol' recap reveal her in Thursday night's performance choosing a Florence & the Machine song where she did just a 'good job'.

Malaya Watson meanwhile smartly chose a Beatles song and stood out with originality. Majesty chose "Happy" for her save, but apparently it was again a bad choice for her. She just seemed out of sync with the band.

'American Idol' recap will reveal Keith Urban saying, "This has been the hardest deliberation for us. It's not about talent or ability. We've got to all agree. By a narrow margin, we are not using our save tonight."

Randy Jackson's three favorites Thursday were Malaya, Caleb and Jena as he said, "the cream is rising to the top." After Jackson's comment, Ryan Seacrest allowed the big screen to announce who was safe Thursday. 'American Idol' recap will reveal Jena and Malaya as safe for the next episode.

Fans were surprised with the thirty-minute elimination Thursday. The efficient format wasn't anybody expected of the somewhat predictable show. Unfortunately, this new format might not be all positive effect as the ratings of 'American Idol' has been continuing its fall, hence 'American Idol' recaps are watched more than the live showing of each episode.

Reports claim that advertisers are now paying 10% less for their 30-second slots than they were one year ago. That being said, this surprising change might just be FOX's attempt to get more ratings. The show reportedly drew only 9.33 million viewers Wednesday night, as opposed to 9.83 million the previous week. 'Survivor' beat 'Idol' with 9.76 million for the first time. ABC's "Modern Family" also beat the show with 9.7 million viewers.

'American Idol' recap and revelation of ratings are disappointing for fans and the show. Still, let us relish 'American Idol' while it is still here.
