Before the elimination news, Mariah told Burnell and Janelle that the person who would end up going home wasn’t leaving on a low note.
“Whoever goes home tonight is coming back for the tour – to me that’s a very big deal,” Mariah said. “And regardless, you both know you can sing, and you have star quality and I want you to know that I love you both dearly and you have given everything to this competition.”
Lazaro Arbos, 21, is the lone male left in the competition.
