After Close Call, Testone Moves on in 'American Idol'

The three celebrity judges on "American Idol" may have made native Elise Testone sweat Thursday night after it was announced that she was amongst the bottom two contestants, but they ultimately agreed that Testone should move on in the FOX hit television singing competition.

According to FOX News, she received the lowest number of votes from viewers along with Jeremy Rosado.The Top 13 contestants performed live Wednesday night, the female singers paying tribute to Whitney Houston and the male performers singing Stevie Wonder songs.

Testone sang "I'm Your Baby Tonight" and Tri-Boro Patch during the performance and show.

Judges Randy Jackson, Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez all commented Wednesday that they did not feel the performance was Testone's best, although Testone noted that the song she was planning to perform had been changed and that she was originally planning to sing "Greatest Love of All."

Still, the Kinnelon community was abuzz talking about Testone's performance and even checking in on the singer while conducting official business Thursday night. At Thursday's Kinnelon Council meeting, Councilman Jim Freda, a close family friend of Testone's, noted that Testone was among the bottom players but that he was hoping she would pull through.

Sure enough, she did and will continue to perform on Wednesday's "American Idol" on Fox at 8 p.m.
