Here we go – the American Idol 8 group 2 results show went down on February 26. A quick recap:

First, 25 million votes came in, then we see each of the second group contestant’s journey from audition to the top 36.

The group number was Ne-Yo’s “Closer” (lyrics include a lot of “I Just Can’t Stop”)… meh.

Next – a review of last night’s performances and judges’ critiques.

And finally… the rundown of who’s in American Idol’s top 12:
Allison Iraheta
Kris Allen
Adam Lambert

And… yay! A special appearance/performance by Brooke White, singing her first single, “Hold Up My Heart.”
