Last hired, first fired on ‘American Idol’

The last two singers selected to be among the 24 semifinalists were among the first to be eliminated, as “American Idol” began the unpleasant business of whittling down the larger group on Thursday’s results show.

On last week’s selection show, Joanne Borgella became the final woman picked to sing this week, and Colton Berry the 12th man. But ultimately, all that bought them was an extra week, as the viewing audience heard them sing, looked at the telephone, and then went to bed instead of calling in their votes.

Joining them on the sidelines are Garrett Haley and Amy Davis. Song selection and nerves, the traditional bogeyman at this stage of the competition, got the best of all four.
