It's the boys' turn to impress on "American Idol," and with only five spots available, all 10 performers have to give it their all. Nicki is on their side and, by the end of the night, had declared her undying love for at least half of them.
In the first round of Vegas Week, 10 of the 20 girls performed for the judges and audience, laying it all out on the floor. At the end of the night, five of the girls had to be cut -- so whose "Idol" journey ended last night and who made it through?

It's "Solo Day" at "American Idol," which means those lucky contestants who made it through the group auditions still have one more hurdle to go. With the judges harsher than ever (here's lookin' at you, Nicki), tensions are running high and no one is safe.
