Ethan Boroian, the Chicago-born 19-year-old who waltzed into Britain's The X Factor and sent judges into a foamy-mouthed lather -- eliciting comments like, "Yes, please, I'd like another slice of you, you yummy slab of boy paté" -- has been eliminated from the competition. ELIMINATED! Judge Cheryl Cole compassionately explained that while all his performances have been remarkable, the one sung a cappella on The Lenai of Truth was slightly subpar; she then pressed a button hidden on the side of her wicker couch, sending Ethan down a trap door and into coffee house oblivion. (If you look closely, you can actually pinpoint the exact moment his Wiggumian heart breaks in two.) Why do we have a feeling this isn't the last we've seen of Ethan, who should wash up on our shores in a few months to reclaim his title on American Idol, or better yet, X-Factor U.S.A.? [YouTube]
