Last night four American Idol contestants were voted off. This is how it all went down according to: The Associated Press!

.

The voting public cut loose Alaina Whitaker, Jason Yeager, Robbie Carrico and Alexandrea Lushington, trimming the number of contestants to 16 Thursday night.

.

Whitaker, a 16-year-old from Tulsa, Okla., let out a sob after she heard the result.

.

“Your problem — quite simply — is that you don’t stand out in the crowd at the moment,” the cranky judge told Yeager, a 28-year-old single dad from Grand Prairie, Texas

.

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 (and a snappy dresser and favorite of judge Randy Jackson’s), 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.

.

GOOD LUCK TO THE 16 REMAINING CONTESTANTS!
