Latest 'American Idol' result
Michael Sarver has become the latest contestant to be eliminated from the eighth season of American Idol.

The top ten became the top nine after the judges again chose not to use their veto power to save Sarver when he lost the public vote.

The oil-rig worker's performance of 'Ain't Too Proud To Beg' saw him placed in the bottom three.

Judge Simon Cowell said: "I couldn't wait for that to end. You are taking part in this competition and you have no chance of winning based on that vocal."

Fellow panellist Randy Jackson added: "The song was just too big for you and you made it a little too corny cause you were trying to do too much with it."

Following the public vote, the judges conferred and Cowell told Sarver: "Michael, you're going home. Sorry."

Scott MacIntyre finished in the bottom three for his take on The Supremes' 'You Can't Hurry Love', while Matt Giraud was in the bottom two for his performance of Marvin Gaye's 'Let's Get It On'.
