LOS ANGELES — The credits have rolled on "American Idol" finalist Michael Lynche.

The 26-year-old personal trainer from Queens, N.Y., was cut from the ninth season of the Fox singing competition Wednesday.

Lynche was rescued by the show's judges five weeks ago, but he received the fewest viewer votes following his predictable rendition of Michael Jackson's "Will You Be There" from "Free Willy" on Tuesday's movie-themed edition.

The other finalists remaining in the singing competition are 24-year-old musician Crystal Bowersox of Toledo, Ohio; 24-year-old paint sales clerk Lee DeWyze of Mount Prospect, Ill.; and 27-year-old musician Casey James from Fort Worth, Texas.
