Adam Lambert and Diddy Dirty Money performed on the show Wednesday night and the top 13 hopefuls watched nervously to find out which of their dreams would be dashed too soon tonight.
Ashthon Jones who was saved last week by the judges when she did not receive enough viewer votes to make it into the top 10 was not so lucky tonight. The singer, who was in the bottom three alongside Karen Rodriguez and Haley Reinhart, was eliminated after it was revealed by Ryan Seacrest that she had received the lowest number of votes following last night’s performance. Ashton then sang for her life one more time in the hopes that the judges save her again, but Jennifer Lopez broke the news: “Not this time, baby, I’m sorry. And it was unanimous. You know I was rooting for you and I’m sorry.”
Jones started crying and her fellow finalists rushed to her side to comfort her. Singers still in the competition are: Lauren Alaina, Casey Abrams, Thia Megia, Pia Toscano, Paul McDonald, Karen Rodriguez, James Durbin, Jacob Lusk, Haley Reinhart, Stefano Langone, Naima Adedapo and Scotty McCreery.
