Cape Cod native Siobhan Magnus, was guaranteed a place on the nationwide "American Idol" tour Wednesday night after America voted her through as one of the final 10 contestants on the show.

Magnus, 20, was over the moon when host Ryan Seacrest called her name out first.

She stood up as Seacrest reminded viewers that the Irish American rocker sung Stevie Wonders version of "Superstition," on Tuesday night and said the judges loved it. 

Magnus had some of her friends from Cape Cod to cheer her on in Wednesday's audience.

One bearded guy promised to let his beard continue to grow as long as Siobhan was on the show and two female friends, rather strangely, had red make-up streaked across their face and neck, giving the effect of blood coming from their eyes and throat!

And when Seacrest told Magnus to pack her bags that she was going on tour with the show this summer, Siobhan's fans jumped for joy.

Paige Miles was voted off this week's show.

Next week Siobhan will meet with mentor Usher as the top ten contestants take on songs from the R&B charts.

Posted by E.B. 04—1-2010 at 09:03 AM. L.A. TIMES: This is highly recommendable for everybody to read ‘cuz its near PERFECT. An April Fool's Day story came out claiming Simon Cowell quit American Idol due to viewers ousting Didi Benami over Tim Urban. Though truly the Urban myth, Lord Cowell should leave the show for having shown himself unworthy of even holding court at a Karoake singoff. The London Looney-Tune, it seems, has tainted himself as a bit of a bully, and thus, a coward. With his fear of a fellow troubadour being crowned American Idol 2010 instead of Crystal Bowersox, Cowbell has disqualified himself as a judge of any caliber with his attempts to cause Siobhan Magnus to cower before his monkey-minded comments. Cowell realizes Siobhan strides the stage as well as Crystal, but instead of encouraging the two artists-in-arms to wow us with their unique approaches to music, ol' Harry Chest has chosen to make Siobhan kowtow to his limpwristed opinions. Deriding the way she looks, calling her "quirky", scoffing at her so-called "screams" as tiresome, downplaying her performances with his high-nosed shortsights that they will be half-loved, half-hated by an ambivalent America, Cowardly Cowell took it on himself to get into the mind of Magnus and cause her to stumble in the competition. And, unfortunately, Simon the Snipper's constant slights seemed to bring a bit of self-doubt to Siobhan as seen with her Shaka setback. Hopefully, she'll shake Simon off and truly go through the fire of a jerky judge who has taken it upon himself to burn an artist at the stake for no other reason than to promote his own preferences. Even more hopefully, Simon will banish himself from the judges' table sooner rather than later and allow Siobhan and the other singers to blossom instead of wither under his cockamamie critiques and inane prattle. Don't boo, Simon, you know it's true. Hurry on now, the cruise ships await you.

Miss Magnus is very pretty and she has a nice voice, however, Paige Miles had the BEST VOICE on the show and she was voted off because the show is run by cute hoors.
