Shannon Magrane Has One Bad Day On ‘American Idol’

Magrane became the second 'Idol' booted this week after her version of 'One Sweet Day' failed to land her a save from the judges. By Adam Graham Shannon Magrane on "American Idol" Photo: Fox It was anything but "One Sweet Day" for Shannon Magrane, as the 16-year-old "pride of Tampa" was sent packing on Thursday's (March 15) episode of "American Idol." With her elimination, Magrane missed the opportunity to go on the road with the "Idol" summer tour. Her version of Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men's "One Sweet Day," which received decent marks from the judges on Wednesday's performance episode, landed her dead last following America's votes. Magrane was given a chance to sing for her life to be the recipient of the judges' save, but her reprise of "One Sweet Day" was not enough to sway the judges. She became the second contestant eliminated this week, following Jermaine Jones' exit on Wednesday, after executives discovered he had several warrants out that he failed to disclose. Though it's largely thought to be the ladies' year on "Idol," Thursday's episode saw an all-female bottom three. Along with Magrane, Elise Testone and Erika Van Pelt also found themselves facing elimination. Testone, who received a welcome attitude check and recovered from a near-disastrous performance the week prior, was the first let back to safety by host Ryan Seacrest. In addition to Testone and Van Pelt, the other "Idols" who will be hitting the road this summer are Colton Dixon, Skylar Laine, Joshua Ledet, Deandre Brackensick, Phillip Phillips, Hollie Cavanagh, Heejun Han and Jessica Sanchez. In defending Sanchez, who stole the show last week with her version of Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" but was brought slightly back down to earth this week with her screamy version of Gloria Estefan's "Turn the Beat Around," mentor Jimmy Iovine said, "If she goes home, we should all go home." Also during the show, Tommy Hilfiger was introduced as the contestants' "image adviser." The fashion icon will work with them to help "shape them toward stardom," he explained. Demi Lovato also appeared and performed her latest single, "Give Your Heart a Break," while Daughtry was on hand to debut the band's new single, "Out of My Head."
