American Idol- Only 10 are left

On Wednesday, Amanda Overmyer sang "Back in the U.S.S.R." and was voted off "American Idol" , leaving only 10 contestants fighting for the title and record contract.

Amanda told host Ryan Seacrest : "It's been a run. ... No. 11 out of all them people is more than I could expect".

Carly Smithson and Kristy Lee Cook were the other lowest vote-getters.

Judge Simon Cowell picked up the most on Cook, a 24-year-old from Selma, Oregon. Cowell compared her voice to "Dolly Parton on helium"and he continued his criticism after the country singer's take on the Beatles' "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away. You're like musical wallpaper, insomuch as you notice it, but you can't remember it," he said. "And that's what you're doing week after week: You're making no impact."

Cook replied to the judge: "I can blow you out of your socks, and you know it."
