Hollie Cavanagh, who had one of her “best nights ever” on Wednesday, joined Laine in the bottom two.
The latest elimination brings the number of finalists to four as the Fox singing competition moves “closer to finding out who will be our next American Idol,” the popular television show said in its recap.
Earlier, Idol host Ryan Seacrest called Sanchez and Laine to center stage and gave them mixed reviews. But after 60 million votes were counted, it was revealed that Laine was the latest to be booted out of American Idol.
Jennifer Lopez and Hollie Cavanagh “teared up” as Laine said her goodbyes.
“I’ll take a lot from this experience — friendship, memories,” Laine said in her farewell video. “I’m gonna put this toward my career in the future.”
The four finalists will return to the stage next Wednesday and face another elimination Thursday.
An 11th season “Idol” champion is scheduled to be crowned May 23.
