Tonight on American Idol, another one of the remaining ten contestants faced elimination - bringing the total down to the single digits. It was a tough night for many of the contestants last night, so it was really anybody's game. Find out who was sent home now! 

First to face the music are Hollie Cavanaugh, Elise Testone and Skylar Laine. All three are declared safe, followed by Lana Del Rey taking the stage with her hit "Video Games." A couple of months ago, she faced backlash after her performance on "Saturday Night Live" and while tonight's performance isn't much different the audience goes wild.  

Then it's time for a surprise "Happy Birthday" to judge Steven Tyler from Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry and the top 10 - but the celebration can only last so long, as Joshua Ledet, Jessica Sanchez and Deandre Brackensick are next to get their results, landing DeAndre in the bottom three. 

After another performance, this one from last year's Haley Reinhart in support of her debut album, Listen Up! (in stores May 22), it's time for the remaining four - Heejun Han, Erika Van Pelt, Phillip Phillips and Colton Dixon - to find out which of them will join DeAndre in the bottom three.  

Erika Van Pelt and Heejun Han completing the bottom three; ultimately, Erika has to sing for the judges and she delivers a very strong final performance - but the judges opt out of using their save and she's sent home. Ryan has some parting advice for the only contestant to truly get a makeover from the new "style consultant" Tommy Hilfiger: "Keep the hair."
