Ramiele Malubay booted out of American Idol

Bye-bye, Malubay.

Ramiele Malubay, the “small girl with the big voice,” became the latest casualty of American Idol Season 7, as the show trimmed the competition to eight hopefuls.

Twenty-year old Ramiele Malubay, of Miramar, Floida, sang Dolly Parton’s “Do I Ever Cross Your Mind” on Tuesday night’s show. Paula Abdul enjoyed the performance. Randy Jackson thought it was OK. But Simon Cowell — not so much.

“Overall I thought it was forgettable, and I think it was very reminiscent of something you would see and hear on a cruise ship,” Simon told Ramiele.

Watch a YouTube video of the elimination night (and Ramiele’s final performance) below.

The remaining Top 8 finalists are Michael Johns, David Archuleta, Carly Smithson, David Cook, Kristy Lee Cook, Syesha Mercado, Jason Castro, and Brooke White.

Say farewell to the could-have-been first Filipino-slash-Asian-American Idol.

Bye-bye, Malubay.
