LOS ANGELES - And then there were 12 on "American Idol."
After the audience voted, the singing contest said goodbye Thursday to Alex Lambert of North Richland Hills, Texas; Todrick Hall of Arlington, Texas; Lilly Scott of Littleton, Colo. and Katelyn Epperly of West Des Moines, Iowa.
It was no surprise that the judge's favourite from previous weeks, Michael "Big Mike" Lynche, made the cut.
Lynche dazzled the judges with his performance of "This Woman's Work" and made Kara DioGuardi dissolve into tears.
