Scott MacIntyre was voted off American Idol on April 8th. MacIntyre had the lowest voted count. Simon Cowell said “I really, really like you, Scott. I’m looking over there, and I think there’s a bunch of talented singers. This decision isn’t just based on you. It’s whether I think — or we think — someone is more talented over there. This is the problem.”
MacIntyre was joined by Lil Rounds, a 24-year-old mother of three from Memphis, Tenn., and Anoop Desai, a 22-year-old college student from Chapel Hill, N.C.
MacIntyre closed the show with a performance of “The Search is Over”.
