Devin Velez

Losing is never fun, but some are able to handle it with dignity and grace -- unfortunately, Devin Velez isn’t one of those people. The 18-year-old ‘American Idol’ contestant wasn't happy about being eliminated after last week’s Motown episode, and his attitude sparked an intense reaction from judge Nicki Minaj on Twitter.

The Top 8 dwindled to a Top 7 on tonight's (March 28) results/elimination episode of 'American Idol,' as bilingual teen singer Devin Velez was sent home. The judges loved his passionate and emotional performance of episode mentor Smokey Robinson's 'Tracks of My Tears' last night, but apparently, America did not.

Devin Velez is best known for his stunning bilingual performances – but that’s not all he’s good at. The 18-year-old singer charmed the ‘American Idol’ judges tonight (March 20) with a passionate rendition of the Beatles’ ‘The Long and Winding Road.’

Devin Velez is only 18, but man can this kid sing!
