Michael Sarver was the first of American Idol’s top 10 to be eliminated.

Singing, “I Ain’t Too Proud to Beg”, the Texas oil rig worker failed to impress America and had the least amount of votes Wednesday night. Judges did not choose to use their one-per-season “second chance” pass on the 27-year-old.

Sarver didn’t seem too distraught by the elimination. “I’m going on tour,” he said eagerly.

Besides Sarver’s dismissal, Smokey Robinson and Joss Stone sang You’re the One for Me, a duet from Robinson’s upcoming album, Time Flies When You’re Having Fun. Honestly, it was an awkward coupling, Joss’ singing was less than desirable and we couldn’t take our eyes off Smokey’s eerily hypnotizing blue eyes.

Saving the day was Stevie Wonder who rocked the house with My Cherie Amour and Superstition. Serving up nothing less than you would expect from the icon, it was all about Stevie tonight.
