“American Idol” revealed this season’s top 12 after voters gave the ol’ heave-ho to another four hopefuls on Thursday night. Did one of your favorites get eliminated? Katelyn Epperly, who underwhelmed the judges singing Carole King’s “I Feel the Earth Move,” was first to feel the boot. “It was definitely a great experience and I’ve learned a ton,” she told Ryan Seacrest. Next, the voters decided that Todrick Hall was not “Somebody to Love,” despite his animated performance of the Queen classic the night before. “This has been an awesome experience,” he said. “I came here to prove that I’m not just a dancer — I can also sing — and I think I did that.” Then, Alex Lambert got in “Trouble” for his rendition of the Ray LaMontagne tune. “There’s a lot of things that America hasn’t seen me do,” Alex assured viewers. “I wish I could have just broken out of my shell.” Lilly Scott was last to get sent on her way, despite appeasing the judges with Patsy Cline’s “I Fall to Pieces.” “I thought I did really well. I thought that I was appealing to a lot of people,” said a surprised Lilly. “A lot of incredible talent is going home tonight. I don’t know what America wants to hear.” So, this season’s top 12 is: Aaron Kelly, Andrew Garcia, Casey James, Crystal Bowersox, Didi Benami, Katie Stevens, Lacey Brown, Lee Dewyze, Michael Lynche, Paige Miles, Siobhan Magnus and Tim Urban. Also on the results show, Scott MacIntyre and Matt Giraud from last season teamed up behind pianos to tackle Billy Joel’s “Tell Her About It.” Catch “American Idol” next Tuesday to see the Top 12 try to do justice to classics by The Rolling Stones.
