Ryan Seacrest: Welcome back to “American Idol”, I’m super-sexy Ryan Seacrest! Before the break, we found out that Kimberly Locke lost to Clay Aiken on Round 2 tonight. But.. last night, Randy said, “Dog.. you sing like a dog, Dog. You did your dog thing.” Paula said, “Your voice is like a rainbow, and you let your light shine.” Simon said, “Your voice is more Broadway that pop, and you look like somehow Martin Short, Miss Jane Hathaway and Strawberry Shortcake all had a baby together.” Did America agree? We’ll find out, right after this message from Coca-Cola.

Joshua Gracin: Hey, I really miss you guys! I’m over here in Iraq now. People say the war’s over here, but.. I’ll tell you what – uh, some pretty screwed-up stuff is still going on. Uh.. I sure do miss y’all.. I even miss you, Simon.. [ gunfire shoots past ] Sonofabitch! Where is that coming from?! Uh… [ video image fades ]
