In the May 15 episode of American Idol, the Top 5 contestants traveled to Las Vegas to be mentored by Season 4 winner Carrie Underwood as she continues her massively popular residency, Reflection, at the Resorts World Theatre. Each contestant performed two songs — one by Carrie Underwood and one of their own choice — leaving it all on the stage in hopes of securing a spot in the grand finale. Sadly, we still had to say goodbye to two people.

So, who was eliminated on the May 15 episode of American Idol? Tonight, we watched the journey end for Fritz Hager and Nicolina.

Fritz really embraced this week's challenge, and even showed viewers a new side with his guitar-less performance of 5 Seconds of Summer's "Youngblood." He earned high praise from the judges, but unfortunately, he didn't make it through to the Top 3.

Nicolina also impressed with a theatrical rendition of Carrie Underwood's "Blown Away," followed by a powerful performance of "All I Ask" by Adele. We truly couldn't have asked for more from Nicolina, but it wasn't enough to save her.
