It was a solid tip, but Whitcomb didn't seem interested - not bothering to use a microphone stand at all for his performance of Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Bad Moon Rising" (which he kicked off with, yes, a backflip). To focus his "amazing energy," Rexha encouraged Whitcomb to begin his performance by singing behind a microphone stand and later taking off the microphone to move around. Perhaps the most energetic contestant in "Idol" history, Cameron Whitcomb has been told by the judges to tone down his off-the-wall performance style (which often includes at least one backflip).

He added: "We send her well wishes, and needless to say, we have incredible talent on this historic season, with more iconic ‘Idol’ performances coming up for you right now." "Since we taped these shows in Hawaii earlier, Kenedi has decided to withdraw from our show for personal reasons." "You might have noticed that there was no voting information during Kenedi’s performance just now," Seacrest said while sitting at a table. The show's longtime host Ryan Seacrest announced the news in a clip inserted into Monday's episode after the 18-year-old high schooler's performance of "Human" by Christina Perri, which brought judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan to a standing ovation. The competition on "American Idol" just got a whole lot wider, with frontrunner Kenedi Anderson's shocking withdrawal from the competition.
