“American Idol” viewers bid adios to Karen Rodriguez.

The bilingual wannabe diva from New York, who crooned Taylor Dayne’s “Love Will Lead You Back” in English and Spanish on the Fox talent competition Wednesday, was said to receive the fewest viewer votes Thursday. According to The Associated Press, the judges also decided against saving her after a last-chance performance of Mariah Carey’s “Hero.”

“It just felt great to at least have that one chance,” Rodriguez, 21, said after her swan song.

Haley Reinhart, the 20-year-old college student from Wheeling, Ill., and Naima Adedapo, the 26-year-old dance instructor from Milwaukee, joined Rodriguez as the bottom three vote-getters.

The other remaining finalists are Casey Abrams, 20, of Idyllwild, Calif.; Lauren Alaina, 16, of Rossville, Ga.; James Durbin, 22, of Santa Cruz, Calif.; Stefano Langone, 21, of Kent, Wash.; Jacob Lusk, 23, of Compton, Calif.; Scotty McCreery, 17, of Garner, N.C.; Paul McDonald, 26, of Nashville, Tenn.; Thia Megia, 16, of Mountain House, Calif.; and Pia Toscano, 22, of Howard Beach, N.Y.
