American Idol

She was just an ordinary contestant, until photos of her flooded the Internet ...

If you're wondering ...

They're the sort of racy photos that make a person infamous!
Antonella Barba became a phenomena ..

. She has captured the attention of web-surfers around the world; her name became a top search on the net.
But, yesterday, her American Idol journey ended, after the judges found her performance of Corinne Bailey Rae's "Put Your Records On" displeasing.

Simon Cowell said: "You've gone as far as you can go, Antonella. I don't think your voice is going to get any better."

It was down to the final three their results were fantastic!
The voting came down to 33.68%, 33.

at 07:20 PM It might have been a shock to a lot of people, including the rest of the remaining contestants, Elliott Yamin, Katharine McPhee and Taylor Hicks, because Chris Daughtry was the one to leave American Idol with the least votes yesterday.
The audience gasped and shouted no, host Ryan Seacrest asked a shell-shocked-looking Daughtry, "Surprised?" "A little bit," he answered.

Tuesday night, Daughtry's rendition of Elvis Presley's Suspicious Minds drew unanimous praise from the three judges, giving the impression that Chris would definitely move to the finals.
But it seems there is always a surprise in American Idol!

The last prime was not a good night for American Idol!

The contestants' performance was mediocre only two succeeded in getting a positive remark from the judges. Elliott Yamin Chris Daughtry did their best managed to get some praise.
One of the worst performances was that of Southern gal Kellie Pickler!

Young is looking forward to touring with the other top 10 American Idol finalists later this year. He says: I have millions of fans and I can't wait to see each and every one of them and give them big hugs, because it's well deserved for all the support they've given me.

R. at 04:42 PM Audiences prove that no one is safe on American Idol. Yesterday night, 29-year-old Mandisa was sent home after getting the least votes.

Although she was once praised by Simon Cowell as this year's best female singer, that didn't do much for her.
During Tuesday's country-music theme, she was in the bottom along with Elliot Yamin and Paris Bennett.
