And then there were 10.
Amanda Overmyer, the rocker with streaked hair from Mulberry, Indiana, was voted off American Idol last night.
After hearing the results, the southern-style singer, 23 — who had performed the Beatles' "Back in the U.S.S.R." — told Ryan Seacrest: “It's been a run. ... No. 11 out of all them people is more than I could expect.” (Click here to see Overmeyer's baby photo.)
Also nearly sent home packing: Carly Smithson, 24, and Kristy Lee Cook, 24, who has been in the bottom three for weeks.
Former contestant Kellie Pickler performed on the live show last night.
Dolly Parton, Mariah Carey, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Neil Diamond were named upcoming celeb mentors on the show.

Amanda should N0T have gotten voted off. I am very upset, and i don't get why all 12 don't go on tour. That's very discriminating, Kristy needs to go. I am sick of her and have been since the day she auditioned. She's terrible! Don't vote for her. I liked Amanda so much. Ridiculous.
What a great soul she has! and performanship! and personality! and she even was nice and mature (unlike Janis Joplin).
She more than deserves a plane ticket from Israel were I live!
Amanda was unique in the style she sang! She was a great performer, she never looked nervous on stage and she heard what the judges said. She also made a good point when the judges suggested she sing a ballad. I would want to go see her in concert to hear good rock, not a ballad! Why not say hey Brooke, sing a rock song! Kristy Lee should have gone home!
Amanda everyone in Delphi/Lafayette was rootin' for ya! Congrats on making it as far as you did.
I think at her core Amanda's not the rebel she pretends to be. I really loved one of her performances - amazing - and the others were good, but cookie cutter performances, one the same as the next.
The ones who are REALLLLLLLY getting on my nerves are the ones who pout and go into their baby acts when things are not quite going their way. Romiele goes into her baby act over almost anything. She gloms onto a person like a koala hanging onto a tree - until that person gets the boot and then she has to find another one to hang onto...until that person gets the boot and then she's onto the next... (I'm actually surprised she hasn't sucked her thumb on stage).
Brooke White's "Let It Be" was spectacular but otherwise, she acts like such a baby, too with the huge pout she clearly thinks is cute. She's in an adult competition and needs to grow up, show up like an adult and take it like a woman, however it plays.
Or...maybe there need to be American Idol pacifiers, if these two are signs of a trend.
For that matter, Carly goes into a "poor me" act, too, at the drop of a hat. From the sounds of it, she's had LOTS of opportunities in the industry, but she goes down that "POOR POOR CARLY" path at every turn. I hoped she'd get booted this week. "POOR POOR CARLY" is old old old. (Those tattoos, too, are beginning to look OLD OLD OLD...oh so yesterday...)
Kristy Lee Cook can "blow my socks off" anyday!
Amanda is a unique individual. Her style may not be liked by the young teenies or the elevator crowd but but she has her place in music.
Hey, so if anyone knows what place she will be sing at in Lafayette It would be worth a plane ticket to go see her.
I don't think we have heard the last from her....and if we have...good luck with what ever she choose to do with her life....Life if a journey....not a destination...just enjoy the ride girl!
I look forward to hearing more from from you.
Tell me, are any of you actually musicians? I bet most of you haven't picked up an instrument or sang in your life. Amanda had soul, and more personality than the other 11 cookie cutter teenie boppers. She brought more to the table than any other. If you ask me, a congratulations are in hand for her, as well as a career in music. Rock on Amanda......from everyone in Indiana.....
ya know, who cares - she's got what it takes to sell records. So she's not billboard material, who gives a crap, AI is 10000% all about marketing and selling the most mind-numbingly dull pop crap every created. She's better than all this, and kudos to her for making the most out of a corporate-controlled multi-marketing monster.
Congrats to the american public for picking ever more uninteresting mindless drones. Enjoy your Coca Cola and your Ford SUV's.
Amanda was awsome and I was sorry to see her go but I dont think we have heard the last of her. On another note tho Kristy Lee Cook needs to go! enough of her already...
yeah I am glad she went home 2. but she did not seem to be upset or anything when they told her she had the lowest number of votes. but I wonder what next week's idol is going to be about? ryan did not tell us if it was going be country or pop music or whatever music they were going to do.
i like kristy she hasnt done great the past couple of weeks but i like her she can sing
3:31. If you Tivo-ed and have yet to watch...you probably shouldn't be reading sites like this.
Umm hello....some of us still have this sitting on our Tivos.....thanks for ruining this for me US.
From all of the top 12 contestants, I don't like her the most. She always gives her fake smile and it looks unsincere. She comes across as an arrogant performer, stubborn and bighead. Just go back to work in the hospital with your patients. That's where you belong!!
That fake grin plastered on her face.. so glad it's gone. I was waiting and waiting for the other contestants to stand up and back her, and they didn't. She wasn't really part of the group to begin with.
I am so glad that Amanda went home! Simon was right when he said that people would get bored because she sang the same way every week. She did not belong in the top 12!!!
10:48 I agree!
Kristy lee is the worst!!!
Amanda has a major ego. I'm glad she got booted!
To all those people who say she is awful- keep in mind that we all don't share the same taste in music. By no means am I suggesting she could've/should've won- but I would have liked to see her a few more times. She and David Cook add fun and rock to a show that is full of slow balladesque songs, makes you feel like you are watching a real concert. Her style may have put people off but at least she was original- she had her own style and she embraced that. Kristy Lee has a nice voice but the fact that she finds herself in the bottom 3 times in a row suggests that she should be the next to go.
Everyone calling her hair an eyesore is an idiot. she was a unique individual.who cares if she sung like an old confederate flag waver? who cares if her voice evoked feeling of a redneck picnic? does anyone really care?
Thank God they got rid of this redneck eye and ear sore. Her singing sounds like nails on a chalkboard.
I agree. About time!! Everything sounded the same. Could you imagine her album? Yikes!! And the hair and overkill eye liner has got to go. Pretty girl without all the goop.
Dang..! you people are so mean.
Amanda's style of singing was not going to get her very far, but I can easily see her being an opening singer for a band like the Black Crowes.
Good luck to you Amanda, and thank you.
who cares what order they go home in, their are only a couple that are good enough to win. this season sucks, I'd rather watch Dancing with the Stars.
Kristy Lee Cook, is sooo awful, I dont know how she survived another week! I was so surprised Amanda was cut..
Thank goodeness.... finally we got rid of beetlejuice. Now if only she would get rid of that nasty black wig.
Its about time!!!!!!! Thats all I have to say!
I like amanda... def. her own person. She has a good voice.. I would listen to her if i had my mp3 blasting on the back of my husbands motorcycle... or if i was just flat out angry. The problem was, she couldn't adapt. She could only sing that one type of music... she could make a living being a female elvis impersonator though.
I'm pretty happy she left. She would always sing the same way every week and it got old fast. Well she didn't "sing" it was more hollering than anything.
I was actually bummed that Amanda got booted off. Ya, people might not like the whole rock thing, but we honestly need someone like her in the music business. I loved her voice! I think Kristy Lee Cook needs to go home. We really don't need another Carrie Underwood.
