NEW YORK(AP) Four more aspiring singers failed to convince viewers that they have what it takes to win the star-making talent contest “American Idol.”
The voting public cut loose Alaina Whitaker, Jason Yeager, Robbie Carrico and Alexandrea Lushington, trimming the number of contestants to 16 Thursday night.
Whitaker, a 16-year-old from Tulsa, Okla., let out a sob after she heard the result.
