The judges continue to give Katie Stevens maddeningly contradictory advice, but the show's other teen did just enough with "Wild Horses" to stick around, as did big Michael Lynche, whose soul-splashed "Miss You" hit the spot.

That left Casey James and Brown facing the final bottom-three spot, with Brown taking the walk of shame after a lukewarm, stripped-down "Ruby Tuesday." The first of the three sent back to safety was Urban, who once again employed his signature stunned look at the news.

It was Brown facing the door in the end, though, with Miles sent to safety as the clock ticked down. In a new wrinkle this year, contestants vying for the save can sing any song they've performed on one of the live shows to date, so Brown went with a reprise of the well-received Carlile ballad.

"I don't know that I would be a good addition to the Smashing Pumpkins," she joked. "You gotta be a little bit more wild and crazy."

She admitted that perhaps her image isn't a right fit for Corgan and his group. "I mean, I have some crazy moments in my life or things about me, but I don't know that I can stand onstage and represent Billy the way he is," she added. "He does that fine on his own."

Despite their differences, Simpson regards Corgan as a "dear friend" and shared that he was a great help to her when she recorded her latest track. "I asked him to help out with arranging the song," she explained. "And he had some ideas to change it up a bit musically and some really cool arrangements and some great guitar things."

Film footage reportedly includes video and audio recordings of the reclusive Jackson, as well as interviews with the singer's manager, chef, spiritual adviser, hairstylist, trainer, protective agent and attorney. None of the other members of Jackson's family are involved in the movie, though Halperin said they are aware of it.

Though it depicts some of the more controversial chapters in Jackson's life, Halperin described it as "a balanced tribute to the King of Pop ... This is the film Michael and his fans deserve."

Halperin is credited with breaking the news in December 2008 that Jackson was in ill health and predicting that the singer would be dead within six months. The performance documentary "Michael Jackson's This Is It," which featured footage of Jackson's final rehearsals for a planned comeback series of concerts in London, was released last fall and shattered box-office records for a music film.
