When Karen Rodriguez was voted out of American Idol last night she was given one last chance to convince the judges to save her from elimination. She chose to sing Mariah Carey's "Hero" and at least one judge, Jennifer Lopez, was so moved that she was caught fighting back tears.

After huddling with the other judges, Randy Jackson broke the news to Karen that they wouldn't save her, but he also told her that decision was not unanimous among the three. It was obvious that J.Lo, a K.Ro fan from the beginning of the season, was choking back emotions after voting to save her from elimination.

"This is not unanimous, I must say," Randy started out. "I mean we talked about this quite a bit. The judges here, we're not going to use the save tonight unfortunately. Thank you very much though."



Jennifer pushed her chair away from the judges table as Randy finished and appeared to be biting her lip. This isn't the first time she's shown emotion during an elimination. When the judges eliminated Chris Medina, whose wife is suffering from serious brain damage following a car accident, J.Lo wept and openly questioned her ability to be a judge on the show.
