College student John Park and gospel singer Jermaine Sellers were sent home Thursday along with female semifinalists Michelle Delamor and Haeley Vaughn as "American Idol" voters trimmed the field to 16 rivals on the Fox singing competition show.
Park, a 21-year-old from Northbrook, Ill., said he left with no regrets when he heard the bad news from host Ryan Seacrest.
Joining Park out the door was Sellers, a 27-year-old from Joliet, Ill.
Also getting the boot were 22-year-old Delamor, of Miami, and Vaughn, a 16-year-old high school student from Fort Collins, Colo.
The remaining contestants will vie for a spot as one of the top dozen "Idol" finalists next week.
