Just like America, the judges and final contestants were devastated to see Josh sing his last song on ‘American Idol’! Read on to find out what their final words to the superstar were!

The judges had to choose between three amazingly talented performers on American Idol — Josh Ledet, Phillip Phillips and Jessica Sanchez — and sadly Josh was the one to go.

This came as a shock not only to America, but also to his fellow competitor Phillip.

“Phillip told me that I was one of the greatest singers he has ever heard in his life. And not to give it up and be true to myself,” Josh told HollywoodLife.com exclusively.

And if those words weren’t touching enough, American Idol judge Jennifer Lopez chimed in and made it a real tear-jerker.

“Jennifer told me to keep my head up and that I was only going to go further from here,” Josh told HollywoodLife.com.

Phillip and Jessica are the final two who will battle it out in the final round of American Idol. And while we’re totally sad to see Josh go, we’re sure we’ll be seeing a lot of him in the very near future!

Jessica reveals she won’t let her competitors’ successes get in her way! That’s definitely the attitude of a true winner!

Jessica Sanchez has stolen the judges’ hearts for weeks now! But after the May 2 episode, it looks like Josh Ledet is about to take her place.

But for confident Jessica, this is absolutely not something she is worried about. In fact, she’s happy for the other contestants who are succeeding!

“I think the people getting the standing ovations deserve the standing ovations. If even when some people don’t get a stading ovation I am like what the heck? They didn’t get a standing ovation? But I don’t know, but I don’t think they’re really playing favorites, it’s proving yourself in that week and I am really trying to get back up there and am trying to prove myself,” Jessica told HollywoodLife.com exclusively. “They said tonight it was one of my ‘I Will Always Love You’ moments but even hearing that was like crazy, so… I appreciate it.”

We totally love Jessica’s #winning attitude. Don’t you?

What do you think HollywoodLifers? Who do you think is the new judge favorite: Jessica or Josh? Vote and weigh in below.
