One of only two Asian-Americans ever to break into American Idol's Top Ten saw her dreams of becoming the first such singer to win the prize dashed Wednesday night.
Ramiele Malubay, who is of Filipino descent, was sent home for her wobbly rendition of "Do I Ever Cross Your Mind," a song penned by this week's musical mentor, Dolly Parton.
In season three, Asian American singer Jasmine Trias made it all the way to No. 3.
