After a couple of weeks delivering a so-so performance, Michigan native LaKisha Jones has to give up hope winning American Idol. Her rendition of Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive" failed to impress the American audience that she got the lowest vote and substantially out of the competition.
Host Ryan Seacrest revealed that even before the announcement, Jones had been "fidgety" during the commercial breaks and heard talking to herself.
