Don't you forget about Karen Rodriguez; Stefano Langone has a rap sheet

Last week, an even dozen became an odd dozen as Karen Rodriguez bids adieu to American Idol. She is the second coming of the late Tejano singer Selena. After being voted into the bottom three a second time, alongside two other female finalists, Haley Reinhart and Naima Adedapo, she got eliminated into twelfth place, leaving those two cleared for the top 11. When Rodriguez attempted Taylor Dayne's "Love Will Lead You Back" which impressed Steven Tyler, she found out that she had the lowest number of votes and would have to sing for the judges' save. In an attempt to claim the judges' save, she belted out a bilingual performance of Mariah Carey's "Hero" that earned her a standing ovation on top 24 week. As she teared up following the performance, she said "It just felt great to have at least one more chance. I can do so much better, and I know you guys believe in me." I also think Jasmine Murray can perform so much better than she did on American Idol season 8.

Unfortunately, Randy Jackson told Rodriguez that the judges chose not to exercise the judges' save on her, but unlike the previous week's decision on Ashthon Jones, the judges' vote was not unanimous. With the departures of Jones and Rodriguez, who will be missing out on American Idols LIVE! Tour 2011 along with the next cast-off, American Idol season 10 is left with 6 male contestants, none of which have yet to be voted into the bottom 3, and 5 female contestants. My prediction is that all the male contestants of the top 13 will be included on American Idols LIVE! Tour 2011 along with four female contestants.

Also, Stefano Langone has a rap sheet. Before he was on American Idol, he was first arrested for possession of marijuana. Second, in 2009, he was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol, with the blood alcohol being way above the legal limit.

Tomorrow night, the top 11 will take on classic Motown songs.
