Say goodbye, Malubay.

Ramiele Malubay, the diminutive singer with the big voice, was booted from "American Idol" as the show trimmed the competition to eight hopefuls.

Malubay, 20, of Miramar, crooned 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," the acerbic judge told Malubay.

Brooke White and Kristy Lee Cook were the other lowest vote-getters.

Fan favorite David Cook was back for the results show after having heart palpitations and high blood pressure near the end of Tuesday's sing-off.

The 25-year-old Missouri native, who was subsequently treated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, told host Ryan Seacrest that the "whole thing kind of got blown out of proportion. ... I have high blood pressure, and it spiked."

Wednesday's show also featured performances by celebrity mentor Parton and The Clark Brothers.
