Thia Megia, in the bottom three! Was she saved? (Video)

It seemed like the good comments Thia Megia received from the judges for her 'Motown' performance were not enough to at least spare the youngest contestant to be in the 'bottom three' or the 3 finalists with the least number of votes in the world famous American Idol Season 10.

For the first time, 16 year-old Filipino American Thia Megia was among the three who got the lowest scores in the nationwide voting. She was with Casey Abrams and Stefano Langone who was given heavy comments by the Judges during the 'performance night', yesterday. On the other hand, Thia's was among the favorite performances during that night. She delivered an upbeat rendition of the classic hit "Heatwave" and received commendations from the three judges for taking a risk and coming out of her shell. And thus, it was a surprise to see her land in the 'bottom three'.

But was Thia saved?

Yes. Luckily, she was. And also Stefano making Casey perform for the judges' one-time 'save power'. And yes, the judges did use the 'power' on Casey, adding a pressure on the Top 11 finalists to impress everyone with their performances next week since 2 of them are sure to go home!

After receiving heavy criticisms last week with a ballad performance, the youngest contestant in American Idol Season 10, 16 year-old (Yes, she just turned 16.) Filipino-American Thia Megia redeems herself with her performance of "Heatwave" by Martha and the Vandellas during the "Motown Night" episode of the talent search on March 24.

Her upbeat rendition of the classic hit made the judges commend her for taking a risk and coming out of her shell.

Judge Jennifer Lopez said, "Okay! Now I feel like we're scratching the surface a little bit with you right there. It was great to see you let loose like that. Wow! Who knew? I didn't and I wasn't sure but now that we're going there. I need you to dig even deeper each week. You know you're 16 years old and I don't expect you to have the live experience in the world to bring what you need to bring to the lyrics but part of performing is acting and you have to bring that every time, so always make sure you connect with the lyrics so you can bring even more because I just see, now I know, you got it in you."

Randy Jackson agreed on J.Lo's comment saying, "The reason you're here, cause we knew you had it in you right? And the public is definitely resounding with that because you've been here every week. This new thing is a good thing because I know this has been tough for you the last couple of weeks. But I got to say it's about taking chances. You took a chance tonight and you didn't sing a really safe ballad although I still feel you can dig deeper and you can do more with it. Take more vocal chances. You can really sing and I want you to believe and I'm happy to see you move up a notch tonight with something different, congrats on that. Take some chances, continue! push!"

Meanwhile, Steven Tyler had a very short but sweet critique.

"You've taken a step out, I love it. Just great! I'm good. I'm good with it."

As the results of the online and phone voting come out tonight, another contestant is going home. He will be let to perform and the judges will decide whether they will save the contestant him or not.

Amazing guest performances (as usual) also await viewers tonight. :D

Thia Megia bores Randy Jackson with her performance

The only Filipino-American left and the youngest contestant in American Idol Season 10 Thia Megia once again sang a ballad during the "performance night" of the remaining 12 contestants. She sang a song from her birth year, the 1995 Vanessa Williams hit "Color of the Wind".

Judge Randy Jackson said he find it boring and he felt like he was watching beauty pageant.

"There was nothing special, unique about it. You have the talent. Maybe a different kind of song next time. Dig a little deeper, take some chances cause you can sing. You have a big voice but it's only so safe and it was so boring tonight,” he said.

Thia defended herself by explaining that she chose the song because it fits to "what's going on in the world today."

Judge Jennifer Lopez also commented on Thia's vibrato saying, "I'm not sure if it's nervousness or that's the quality of your vibrato. Either way I don't wanna think about that. So I feel that needs a little bit of working on too. So push out of the box then come out next week and kill it.”

We will find out later tonight if these comments from the judges would send15-year old Thia Megia home.

American Idol 10 says 'goodbye' to Ashton Jones | Thia Megia saved!

Last Thursday, the Top 13 contestants of the 10th season of the talent search "American Idol" performed a song from their favorite artists. Immediately after the live episode, viewers were given a chance to vote for their picks - to those who does not know this happens every 'performance night' where its results will determine who gets to be eliminated from the show the next episode, the 'results night'.

During yesterday's 'results night' episode, the 'bottom three', the three contestants who got the least number of votes, were announced. They were Ashton Jones, Karen Rodriguez and Haley Reinhart. Ashton Jones who sang the Diana Ross song "When You tell Me That You Love Me" was sent home.

This means that Filipino-American Thia Megia got enough votes to be in the competition still. However, I hope that she would perform better next week and develop a more lively and interesting character so that she'll go along way in the competition.

One of the contestants, Casey Adams, was not present during last night's episode since he was hospitalized. Adam Lambert and Diddy-Dirty Money also guested the show last night.
