Another 'Idol' Hits the Road

Wild-haired, motorcycle-drivin' rocker Amanda Overmyer was kicked off "American Idol" last night, leaving the remaining ten contestants to fight for the crown. "It's been a run," she told Ryan Seacrest. "[Being] number 11 out of all them people was more than I could ever expect."

Overymyer, 23, was in the bottom three with struggling country singer Kristy Lee Cook and Carly Smithson, but after a performance of "Back in the USSR" that failed to connect with the judges, Idol voters agreed. Ryan called the former nurse "one of the most fearless contestants we have ever had," but when he asked Simon Cowell if he agreed that Amanda should be gone, he said, "Yes." Simon has also pegged Kristy as the next to go, calling her "like musical wallpaper, insomuch as you notice it, but you can't remember it."

The remaining contestants will go on the "American Idol" tour after a winner is chosen.

I think Amanda was one of the best contestants on this seasons American Idol. There are several that are on the final 10 that are pitchy and really cannot sing - America voted and they were wrong.

Pretty looks should not be the reason to keep someone. Thank you.

SO VERY WRONG to vote off Amanda!! She was one of the most unique, original contestants ever, and now, she’s not only off the show, she’s also off the tour. The tour will NOT be complete without her; I was so looking forward to her rockin’ our arena. She was just made for that stage, and she was one of the main contestants to bring Idol out of its Season 6 slump. America goofed big time on this one.
