DeAndre Brackensick was eliminated from the competition: American Idol 2012 top 7 finalists were revealed

Another hopeful singer was sent home last night during American Idol" elimination night. DeAndre Brackensick was eliminated from the competition and the "SAVE" wasn't for him last night. "Save! Save! Save" chanted the crowd at "American Idol" after he sang his final song trying to convinced the judges to use their "SAVE". Thursday night JLO was devastated because she was the only one who tried to let him stay in the competition but her co-judges were not satisfied and wanted to use their "SAVE" for someone who really deserve it. "You're an amazing performer, and I stand by that. I think that you have an amazing voice and you're gonna share a lot with the world," Jennifer said, as she let the teen down gently. "I only get one vote. I'm sorry, we're not saving you tonight." Steven Tyler explained last night in an interview after American Idol that using the “Save” wasn’t an option because he has a sense of which Idol has that potential. “I have to step up to the plate and be a judge,” Steven remarked on his decision and responsibility.
