Scott MacIntyre is a funny, talented, affable human being.

But his vocal skills took him as far as possible on season eight of American Idol. He was eliminated this week.

The singer/songwriter was joined in the bottom three by Lil Rounds and Anoop Desai, but it was no shock to viewers when MacIntyre's name was announced.

 “You’ve been an inspiration to the entire world through your commitment, through your talent. We love you," Paula Abdul told Scott upon his elimination.

It was the least crazy thing she's said all season.
