The American Idol judges repeatedly said how difficult it was, how this was their hardest day, how much it "sucked" to make the tough decisions.
But just imagine how the 42 remaining contestants felt as they waited to hear whether they'd be performing in the live shows next week as part of season 11's top 24.
Well, there was good news and bad news. Keep reading to find out the results revealed on Wednesday's episode.

First Janet, now Britney?
Less than a week after Janet Jackson sparked speculation that she may be joining The X Factor as a judge, Britney Spears is now the subject of casting buzz.
"Are we flattered that there could be interest? Yes," Simon Cowell told reporters on a conference call Wednesday, but wouldn't discuss what he thinks Spears would bring to the show as a judge. "I've learned a big lesson: keep your mouth shut. Don't give it all away."
It's going to get ugly.
After cutting – and cutting again – in Las Vegas, American Idol is down to 42 contestants. And on Wednesday's episode, they're all hoping for one of the 24 spots in the upcoming live shows.
At this point in the competition, talented singers will be sent home heartbroken before they ever have a chance to take the Idol stage. So the question is ... for whom are you rooting?
We've seen some outstanding performances and heard some heartbreaking stories so far. Reed Grimm, Elise Testone, Haley Johnsen and Eben Franckewitz all sailed through the Vegas group round with a colorful version of "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes."
Jennifer Lopez told Lauren Gray, "You're one of the best female voices we've heard," when she auditioned in St. Louis with Adele's "One and Only."

Buddy's birthday celebration went a little differently than he probably expected but with this week's excuse of "I lack self control," we had to have another temptation on The Biggest Loser.
Clearly in this week's temptation, everyone had a plan – some contestants wanted to have the power and others to maintain self-control. In the end, Daphne ate more than 1,800 calories for the power but then her only switch was Conda and Jeremy.
Were you surprised by her moves? What did you think about how everyone in the house handled the changes?

Star Jones returned to The View Wednesday – her first visit to the ABC talk show since her much talked-about departure in June 2006.
"It was ugly. Everything. It was a bad emotional time. Nasty things were being said in the media," Jones said after her former boss, Barbara Walters, insisted on discussing her exit, when the host abruptly announced she was leaving on the air, then revealed she had been fired by the show.
"I wanted to go out on my own terms so that if I walked back here I'd feel good about it," Jones continued. "I had eight fantastic years here. One was 'eh.' I came back to congratulate you on all you accomplished. I hope you congratulate me on what I accomplished."
