American Idol Results: Stefano Langone eliminated, James Durbin cried

Stefano Langone has been eliminated on Thursday's American Idol Season 10 Results Night (April 21).

But it was quite all fine for Stefano who told host Ryan Seacrest that American Idol started his career and he's happy he reached that far.

In the Bottom 3 were Jacob Lusck and again Hailey Reinhart.

I was expecting Jacob to get eliminated, and sadly it was Stefano, who happens to be one of my favorites.

Here's Stefano's performance of Ne-Yo's "Closer", a great performance but unfortunately didn't earn him enough votes to stay in the competition:

And what was quite interesting on last night's elimination was how James Durbin cried for Stefano. What's the real score between them?

Watch how James cried for bf (best friend) Stefano, plus his farewell performance "Lately":

Is the number of Twitter followers a measure of how popular an American Idol finalist is?

In a way, yes, because Hailey and Naima have the least followers, and during the previous 2 weeks, they were in the Bottom 3 of the competition.

However, it's not always the case as Casey Abrams, who has the 2nd highest number of followers, had the lowest number of votes from the viewers for this week and both Hailey and Naima were not part of the Bottom 3.

Anyone of them still has equal chances of winning American Idol.

And for Thia, the youngest finalist, I hope she survives 'til the end of the competition.
