Last night was a very nostalgic night "American Idol," as the top five results show featured performances by old-school "Idol" favorites Fantasia and Clay Aiken and well as a surprise appearance by former judge Paula Abdul, who reclaimed her center seat at the judging table and looked right at home. Yay!
It was such a feelgood episode, in fact, that my "The Day After" cohost Matt Whitfield and I were barely even sad when the show ended on a bummer note as Janelle Arthur was sent home. Simply nothing could ruin our nostalgic buzz. Watch us talk about last night's walk down memory lane in our latest recap chat below!
