Harris, a 27-year-old currently living in New York, NY, had entertained the audience with "Travelin' Band," while Yates, a 18-year-old high school senior from Danville, IL., had sung "How Could I."
On the women's side, Melinda Lira and Sarah Mather found themselves eliminated as a result of the viewer voting from Tuesday night's broadcast of the twelve female semifinalists' performances. Lira, a 19-year-old from Hanford, CA , had sung "Power of Love," while Mather, a 22-year-old Quebec native who moved to North Carolina when she was 10, had sung "Get Ready."
