Fox's American Idol voted out the ninth of its twelve finalists during last night's results show, with Anthony Fedorov, a 19-year-old from Trevose, PA, being eliminated from the reality talent competition as a result of receiving the fewest audience votes.

Anthony had entertained the audience by singing "If You Don't Know Me By Now" and "I'm Already There" during Tuesday's double-themed American Idol 4 performance show.
Joining Anthony in the week's bottom two vote-getters was Vonzell Solomon, a 20-year-old from Fort Myers, FL. Anthony had also finished in the previous week's bottom two vote-getters, surviving when Scott Savol was instead sent home.
With his departure, Anthony becomes the fifth male Idol 4 finalist to be eliminated, leaving Bo Bice, a 29-year-old from Helena, AL, as the show's sole remaining male finalist.
