 NEW YORK (AP) - Now there are 20. "American Idol" booted four contestants Thursday night — two men and two women — in the show's first elimination round of the new season.
Television's top-rated show tallied viewers' votes and scratched off the bottom two of each sex — Becky O'Donohue, Stevie Scott, Bobby Bennett and Patrick Hall.
Judge Paula Abdul's eyes brimmed with tears when O'Donohue, 25, got the cut after receiving the lowest number of votes. The New York native, who sang "Because the Night," made other news this week when Maxim released some sexy photos of her and her twin sister, Jessie, it had taken a couple of years ago.
