Joanne Borgella was shocked to find out she wasn't making it but said that she's still going to keep singing. "It was a lesson learned. It was your worst performance, and that's what happens," Simon said. What a rough way to learn it.

Colton Berry said goodbye to his "Idol" dreams as well, although he didn't receive the positive reinforcement he no doubt hoped for.

"I would say get a good job, and then enjoy singing because I don't think you'll have a career out of it." Simon's words probably stung as Colton bravely took the stage to sing one last time. Best of luck to them all, and best of luck to the remaining top 20!
