Since the Top 13 Finalists started performing in the 10th season of the world-famous "American Idol", girl contestants seemed to find it hard to get enough support from the show's viewers, making 5 of them say 'goodbye' to the competition one-by-one each elimination episode.

During the latest episode of the talent search, host Ryan Seacrest announced that it was the end of the line for the charming singer from Nashville, 25-year old Paul McDonald after garnering the lowest number of votes.
With Paul McDonald in the 'bottom three' were Stefano Langone and Haley Reinhart who might be the 'next' to go home since it is not the first time for the two to be in the 'bottom three'.
McDonald rendered "Maggie May" as his 'goodbye' performance in the show. This was requested by judge Jennifer Lopez who became teary-eyed.
Meanwhile, Season 1 champion Kelly Clarkson and country singer Jason Aldean sang "Don't You Wanna Stay' during last's night show. Pop singer Rihanna also showcased her new ballad "California King Bed".
The Top 7 remaining finalists will again battle it out on stage next week.
P.S. Here are the judges' comments on each contestant during the perfomance night episode:
