America boots off 2nd ‘Idol’ finalist of season

LOS ANGELES — The odds weren’t in Paige Miles’ favor on “American Idol.”

The 24-year-old preschool teacher from Houston was the second finalist eliminated from the ninth season of the Fox singing competition Wednesday.

Miles, who warbled through her rendition of Mariah Carey’s “Against All Odds” on Tuesday’s performance show, received the fewest viewer votes and was not rescued by the show’s judges.

Joining Miles in the bottom three were 20-year-old college student Tim Urban of Duncansville, Texas, and 17-year-old high school student Katie Stevens of Middlebury, Conn.

Urban was mocked for sliding across the stage during Queen’s “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” while Stevens was lauded for her take on Fergie’s “Big Girls Don’t Cry.”

There won’t be anyone like Adam Lambert ever on American Idol or anywhere else. He was a unique find. A born superstar. No one compares with his interview charm, his voice, his looks and his stage presence. I think Adam destoryed Idol forever.
