Ramiele's journey ended in tears on the results show.

The night after "American Idol"'s top nine performed DOLLY PARTON tunes, one finalist was left with ample time to visit Dollywood, the country legend's Tennessee theme park. RAMIELE MALUBAY was sent home on Wednesday evening's results show, a decision that led to a tearful goodbye hug between the 20-year-old and her bottom-three buddies, BROOKE WHITE and KRISTY LEE COOK.

The evening's other big news came from DAVID COOK, who declared himself healthy after yesterday's hospital scare. "The whole thing got blown out of proportion," he said. "I've got high blood pressure and it spiked. But I'm cool. I'm not going anywhere."

Earlier in the show, Ramiele admitted to host RYAN SEACREST that it was "a little bit" difficult connecting with the country material -- namely the Dolly song she attempted, "Do I Ever Cross Your Mind," in a performance which SIMON COWELL described as "forgettable" and "something you would see on a cruise ship."

Ms. Parton herself was in the house on Wednesday night. She uplifted the crowd with her tune "Jesus and Gravity." Country rockers the CLARK BROTHERS -- winners of FOX's "Next Great American Band" -- also thrashed out a down-home ditty for America's viewing pleasure.
