American Idol 2010 : Lacey Brown is voted off as Kesha

After singing "Ruby Tuesday" Tuesday night, Lacey Brown is saying goodbye once again. The 24-year-old Texan who was cut from the Top 50 last season became the first casualty of American Idol's Top 12 Wednesday night.

Though her performance during Rolling Stones tribute night garnered her first positive reviews since audition week, Brown received the lowest votes of the night, behind Tim Urban and Paige Miles.

The church teacher had a chance to sing for a save but her pitchy rendition of Brandi Carlile's "The Story" only solidified the judges' decision.

During Idol auditions, Brown brought smiles to the judges faces with her jazzy version of "Over the Rainbow," but since then her performances have been lackluster.

The shy contestant who was prodded "like a cow" by her mother to audition could have used some maternal pressure on stage.

Brown spent most of her performances flashing her bright eyes and flirting with the camera, trying to cover her "sleepy" vocals - per Ellen DeGeneres - with pixie dust. It didn't help that she picked songs - like Sixpence None the Richer's "Kiss Me" - by equally cutesy artists.

From the start, Brown always seemed more concerned with the visual side of performance rather than the substance. Even Simon Cowell commented Tuesday that she was over thinking her stage work.

Though it was a sad night for Brown, the results show featured lively guest performances by Ke&ha (singing "Blah Blah Blah"), Orianthi and David Cook, winner of season seven. They provided iron clad evidence that it is possible to hone your vocals as much as your stage presence.
