Teenager Aaron Kelly was voted off "American Idol" on Wednesday as as the audience ended its love affair with the shy 17-year-old with the big voice.Kelly's rendition of "Fly Me to the Moon" polled the least number of viewer votes after a tough Frank Sinatra-themed week for the five remaining Idols."I've had a great time. I've had a blast," said a clearly shocked Kelly.He was joined in the bottom two by Michael Lynche in a shock result given the praise Lynche received from the judges for his performance of "The Way You Look Tonight."Glam pop singer Lady Gaga, dubbed by "Idol" judge Simon Cowell the most relevant pop artist in the world, gave an eye-popping but vocally wobbly performance of her new single, "Alejandro," dressed in a black lace-and-net costume and a sheer widow's shroud.Wednesday's results show leaves Lynche, Crystal Bowersox, Lee DeWyze and Casey James in the running for a shot at winning the "American Idol" title and a recording contract in the finale at the end of May.James, more at home with rock and country music, had been widely seen as the most likely candidate to be eliminated this week after a weak performance. Judge Kara DioGuardi on Tuesday described his voice as "sounding like a lamb" in his rendition of "Blue Skies.""American Idol", now in its ninth season, is still America's most-watched TV show overall, but its audience has slipped below 20 million for the past three weeks.Next week the top four will sing songs from movies with actor and singer Jamie Foxx as their mentor.
