LOS ANGELES (AP) — "American Idol" viewers apparently didn't like Deandre Brackensick.
The 17-year-old student from San Jose, Calif., impressed the "Idol" judges with DeBarge's "I Like It" on Wednesday's 1980s-themed installment, but he wasn't rescued by the panel Thursday after receiving the fewest viewer votes.
Following his last-chance performance of Stevie Wonder's "Master Blaster," judge Jennifer Lopez told Brackensick that she was outvoted by Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson to use their one-time-only ability to save him from dismissal.
Brackensick was joined in the show's bottom three by 28-year-old teacher Elise Testone, of Charleston, S.C., and 18-year-old singer Hollie Cavanagh of McKinney, Texas.
There are seven singers remaining in the Fox talent competition.
