LOS ANGELES - A contestant from Toledo is expected to be well enough to sing tonight on "American Idol."

Twenty-four-year-old Crystal Bowersox was hospitalized yesterday and unable to take the stage, causing the show to make a switch and have the 10 male semifinalists perform instead of the 10 women, as scheduled.

Host Ryan Seacrest said on the program: "Crystal, if you're watching, we hope you feel better very, very soon."

The two male and two female semifinalists who receive the fewest viewer votes are slated to be sent home Thursday, leaving 16 contestants in the competition.
