Carly Smithson was eliminated from American Idol after she sang the track from Jesus Christ Superstar on a special night of the America’s most-watched show which gets closer and closer to the final destination. Viewers are anxious to discover the jury’s verdict and to finally see the best singer of the show during the live final in May.

Wednesday’s evening was dedicated to the songs of musical-theater master Andrew Lloyd Webber, who wrote such musicals as Cats, The Phantom of the Opera, Evita.  

Despite her sensitive performance of Webber’s hit Jesus Christ Superstar, the 24-year-old San Diego native with blue eyes was booted from the show. In 2001, Geffen Records/MCA released the album "Ultimate High" by Carly Hennessy, her maiden name.

"I'm very proud of myself—I'm not upset that I'm going home," said the Irish-born songstress, quoted by E!Online.

Simon Cowell’s reaction to Carly’s response was “Well, you should be.”

"I apologize for giving you a compliment last night, the kiss of death," one of the show’s judges Simon Cowell told Smithson after the vote was revealed. "You can leave with your head held high."

Judge Randy Jackson told host Ryan Seacrest: “It must be a bit of a popularity week in the vote.”

Syesha Mercado sang "One Rock 'n' Roll Too Many" from "Starlight Express," and viewers and judges appreciated the performance of the talented 21-year-old, who joined Smithson in her final American Idol evening.

Brook White gave a performance of You Must Love Me from the movie Evita and made the band stop and restart. Paula Abdul’s recommendation was that he must never stop and restart.  

What Randy Jackson called a “train wreck” was Jason Castro’s performance of Memory from Cats.

American Idol proved to be America’s most-watched show as Nielsen data through last week showed that "Idol" on its regular nights of Tuesday and Wednesday was averaging 28.9 million viewers - down 8 percent from 31.3 million one year ago at this point, Variety reported.
