| (EZ-Tracks) - It’s over and out for Amanda Overmeyer, the rocker who got voted off American Idol last night for her lackluster rendition of the Beatles’ “Back in the USSR,” according to an Associated Press report. The departure of the 23-year-old nurse from Mulberry, Indiana, left ten contestants remaining in the televised talent contest. Overmeyer, whose independent streak and streaked hair made her a fan favorite, took her ouster in stride.” It's been a run. ... No. 11 out of all them people is more than I could expect," she told host Ryan Seacrest. Carly Smithson and Kristy Lee Cook were the other lowest vote-getters. Cook, a 24 year-old from Selma, Oregon, got the harshest criticism from the judges, with Simon Cowell telling her "(You're) like musical wallpaper, insomuch as you notice it, but you can't remember it. And that's what you're doing week after week: You're making no impact." Wednesday's "Idol" featured a performance by season-five finalist Kellie Pickler, who recently toured with Rascal Flatts. Seacret also announced that this season’s celebrity mentors would be Dolly Parton, Mariah Carey, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Neil Diamond. | ||||||||||||
