Thia Megia performs for the last time as a contestant on American Idol 10

It was the last time for the Filipino-American Thia Megia to perform as a contestant in American Idol 10 during the Top 11 double-elimination episode, earlier.

Together with fellow finalists Pia Toscano and Hailey Reinhart, Thia performed Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream". Immediately after the performance, Thia was announced as one of the 'bottom three' joining Naima Adebapo and Paul McDonald.

Moments after Jamie Fox and Will.iam did a number, host Ryan Seacrest delivered the verdict. It was Paul who was 'save', ending Thia and Naima's American Idol journey.

Thia Megia joins the list of Filipino-Americans who became finalists of American Idol. The list includes Jasmine Trias, Camille Velasco, and Ramiele Malubay.

Nope. This is not an April Fools' joke -wish it is. (Be careful though on what you read in other sites, today. Lol)

Despite Thia Megia's beautiful rendition of Elton John's song "Daniel", she was one of the two contestants who have been voted out from the latest season of the "American Idol". Naima Adebapo also was ousted during the double elimination March 31 (April 1, Philippines) episode of the show. Paul McDonald joined them in the bottom 3 but was saved.

On a lighter note, since Megia and Adebapo both made it this far in the competition, they will be on tour with the rest of the Top 11 finalists this Summer.

Noypi's notes:

I admit I just lose one reason to watch the show. I'm a fan of Thia eh.

To Philippine viewers, "pasensya na" with this spoiler. I know our "live telecast" will still be aired in 6 hours pero around 10am actually dapat. Lol.
