Last night’s emotional American Idol continued its typical downward trajectory during the finals round. There are only 3 weeks left in the series, the numbers should at least trend up for the April 7th finale.

CBS is in the middle of March Madness which so far isn’t topping their usual Thursday night fare of The Big Bang Theory and Life in Pieces. As a result, Idol ranked #2 for the night.
