The final audition night of American Idol was a combination of performance highs and lows, in addition to a tour of seven-city, had started on a very contradictory note, with Ryan Seacrest sending out constant reassurances to viewers that the best had been saved for last.

Also, on the other hand, he had outright admitted that General Larry Platt's "Pants on the Ground" had turned out to be the biggest "buzz-generator".

For the latest season of America's most popular reality show, 181 singers out of over 100,000 who had auditioned from across 7 cities would be weeded down to reach the best 24, and that is when the public voting will commence.

Among the lucky ones who got picked are Amanda Shechtman, Aaron Kelly, Lacey Brown, Hope Johnson and Adrian Chandtchi.
