Joshua Ledet Gets Standing Ovation & Fantasia B-Day Message!



Joshua Ledet got more than a standing ovation on "American Idol" last night -- he also scored a birthday greeting from former winner Fantasia Barrino!

Before the 20-year-old singer stole the show with his rendition of Bruno Mars' "Runaway Baby," Barrino sent him a surprise video message, where she called him by his new nickname "Mantasia."

Needless to say, Joshua was thrilled!

He then got a standing ovation from all three judges after his song -- which Randy Jackson called "another unbelievable performance." Watch it below:



As for the rest of the contestants:
-Jessica Sanchez impressed again with Jazmine Sullivan's "Stuttering."
-Skylar Laine sang Kellie Pickler's "Didn't You Know How Much I Loved You."
-Colton Dixon did a moving rendition of Skylar Grey's version of "Love the Way You Lie."
-Phillip Phillips was "underwhelming" to Jennifer Lopez with his cover of Maroon 5's "Give a Little More."
-Elise Testone redeemed herself with Lady Gaga's "You and I."
-Hollie Cavanagh sang Pink's "Perfect" ... but failed the completely win the judges over.
