 'American Idol' dropped four more contestants
Four more contestants has been dropped from the contest "American Idol". The aspiring singers failed to convince viewers that they have what it takes to win the star-making talent.
On Thursday night, trimming the number of contestants to 16, The voting public cut loose Alaina Whitaker, Jason Yeager, Robbie Carrico and Alexandrea Lushington.
16-year-old Whitaker, from Tulsa, Okla., let out a sob after she heard the result. She told host Ryan Seacrest, "Sorry, this is so embarrassing".
As Whitaker started her final performance of "Hopelessly Devoted to You", the other "Idol" female contestants gathered on stage to lend her moral support.
Judge Paula Abdul, who gave Whitaker a standing ovation said, "You are a gifted, bright young talent. This is the start of an amazing career from you".
Simon Cowell wasn't surprised by Yeager's exit.
The judge told Yeager, "Your problem, quite simply, is that you don't stand out in the crowd at the moment".
Cowell told Carrico, who sang Foreigner's "Hot Blooded," that his rocker act "just never ever felt real." Carrico, 26, from Melbourne, Fla., was part of the pop group Boyz N Girlz United.
Lushington, a 17-year-old Douglasville, Ga., resident, displayed a lack of confidence Wednesday, acting sheepish and uncomfortable onstage, following her cover of Chicago's "If You Leave Me Now." Jackson said the '70s song didn't suit her youthful style.
"American Idol," now running three times a week, will return to a twice-weekly schedule March 11 for the elimination of the final dozen. The decision-making finale will be held in May. |
