Ryan welcomes us, saying 33 million votes were cast last night. Shakira, Rascal Flatts and Lady Antebellum will be performing.First up, Rascal Flatts, singing "Unstoppable."Ryan mentions it's the band's third time on the show and teases us for Shakira.Then it's time for the Ford music video, called "Idol Vampire." We see behind the scenes, where five are made up and Mike prepares to get eaten. With pale skin and weird contacts, they stalk Mike in his Mustang at night. He fends them off with a pizza with extra garlic, clever boy, as they sing "Believe."Ryan tells us about the weekend trip to the studio for "Shrek Forever After," in which he has a part. They practice voicing his scene. Mike does Scottish Shrek sounding more like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Siobhan sounds like Yoda. Then they get to see the movie with Ryan, Eddie Murphy, Antonio Banderas and 250 screaming fans.Mike is sure to say Ryan's three lines were the highlight of the movie. Back in the theater, Antonio Banderas and Cameron Diaz are there to talk up the movie, which they swear is the final Shrek.Then it's finally time for some news. There will be three groups of two on the stage. Ryan recaps Siobhan's comments, which were generally positive. She says singing in front of Shania was intimidating but an honor. Ryan sends her to the far side of the stage.Then Aaron, who was called "believable" and "sincere." He's sent to the middle of the stage.Big Mike was lauded for putting his mark on the song, but Simon called it a little "wet" and girly. Ryan asks Simon to explain. "Imagine you singing," Simon tells Ryan. (It doesn't sound like a compliment.) He stays next to Ryan.Lee says he connected with "You're Still the One I Want." Ryan sends him to stand with Siobhan.Casey sang "Don't," and the judges thought it was his best performance to date. Kara says she's a big believer in him, and not just because he's good looking. He's sent to stand with Mike.Which leaves Crystal, who got her her first not-rave reviews. Ellen doesn't think it'll hurt her, "America's not that fickle." She tells Crystal she doesn't think she's in trouble. She goes to stand with Aaron.Then it's time for musical spotlights. Ryan moves Siobhan to stand with Casey and Mike. They are the bottom three.Aaron, Lee and Crystal are safe.Hugs are exchanged.Ryan tells us Harry Connick Jr. will be mentoring next week with the songs of Frank Sinatra.Ryan welcomes Carrie Underwood to introduce the band she's touring with, Sons of Sylvia performing "Love Left to Lose."Then it's Lady Antebellum with their triple platinum hit "Need You Now."After the break, it's time for Shakira with Rascal Flatts singing "Gypsy." (She starts with harmonica and of course shakes her hips a little.)Ryan asks Shakira what advice she has for the contestants. She says she's quoting Roosevelt and says "Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground." (Ryan helps her out, pointing out it's actually Casey Kasem.)Mike tells Ryan that tonight's "there's no shame" in the bottom three because everyone did well last night. Ryan gives his usual pause and announces that Mike is safe.Which leaves Casey and Siobhan. The person going home is... Siobhan.Ryan says she has "an independent spirit, laser focus and an incredible work ethic." The other contestants stand and clap for her. Ryan asks her what impact being on the show has had. "I did my best and I hope I showed them (her sisters) we're capable of anything." We see her trip, including glass blowing and Alicia Keyes saying she's impressed with her voice. She says good bye and performs "Think."
