The judges were split on several singers, including twangy 16-year-old high school student Haeley Vaughn from Fort Collins, Colo. Randy Jackson praised the guitar-strumming Vaughn's "unpredictability" and DeGeneres told Vaughn "you just shine," but Cowell proclaimed that her version of The Beatles' "I Want to Hold Your Hand" was "verging on terrible." "You're very pure," DioGuardi soothed a smiling Vaughn. The top 12 male semifinalists -- including last-minute semifinalist replacement 20-year-old college student Tim Urban from Duncanville, Texas
-- will take the stage for Wednesday's episode. The two female contestants and two male contestants with the lowest viewer votes are slated to be eliminated live Thursday. ___ Fox is a unit of News Corp. ___ On the Net:
