Generate Key Takeaways Kolbi Jordan and Canaan James Hill got an early boost on American Idol when they received platinum tickets from the judges after their auditions. But the magic wore off: both singers were eliminated during Sunday's live episode. This news comes one week after fellow platinum ticket holder Filo was booted, leaving no remaining recipients of the special honor in the Top 8. The theme of the evening was "Ladies Night," and guest mentor Miranda Lambert worked with the Top 10 finalists to perfect their performances. Kolbi (age 26 from Tulsa, Okla.) sang "The Chain" by Fleetwood Mac, while Canaan (age 17 from Dallas) belted out "Love Wins" from Idol's own Carrie Underwood. Watch their final performances below. More from GoldDerby Underwood told Kolbi, "This was a really great moment for you. The song choice was perfect. Throwing us curveballs like this? Well done!" And she said that Canaan "should never worry about messing up the words because you have that super power in your back pocket." Lionel Richie noted that Kolbi "scared me to death," adding, "That is what I love the most — your stage presence." As for Canaan, the longtime judge "loved the way you interpreted that song. What the world needs now are more messages like that." Luke Bryan said to Kolbi, "I loved your attitude, your character, your mannerisms. Your personality is really amazing." And he brought up how Canaan was going outside of his comfort zone by not performing gospel tonight. "You got through it," he declared. "It was nice to see you challenge yourself." SEE'American Idol' winners list: All seasons Host Ryan Seacrest announced that 22 million votes were cast, and that the following eight contestants were moving on to the next round because of their "Ladies Night" performances: Breanna Nix ("Water Under the Bridge"), Mattie Pruitt ("The House That Built Me"), Jamal Roberts ("Undo It"), John Foster ("Something to Talk About"), Josh King ("Rolling in the Deep"), Gabby Samone ("I Was Here"), Slater Nalley ("Whoever's in New England"), and Thunderstorm Artis ("When We Were Young"). Previously on American Idol, Kolbi performed "River Deep – Mountain High," "New Attitude," "Amazing Grace," "I'm Every Woman," "You're All I Need to Get By," and "Over the Rainbow" on the big stage. And Canaan had breakout moments with "Never Would Have Made It," "Glory to Glory to Glory," "Better Days," "Stand," "Mary, Don't You Weep," and "Goodness of God." To date, only one platinum ticket recipient has won American Idol since it was first introduced four seasons ago: Abi Carter in Season 22. The twist allows an auditioner to skip the first round of Hollywood Week, giving them an early edge in the competition.

Woman says 'flaxseed gel works as natural alternative to Botox': But does it really? Doctor reveals truth
Kolbi Roper is a beauty and wellness influencer, who keeps sharing tips for 'vegan plant-based healthy living' on her Instagram page. In an April 13 video, Kolbi shared that flaxseed gel is a natural alternative to Botox, offering potential benefits for skin health. She said she uses it on her face and hair, and makes it by soaking flaxseed in hot water overnight and blending it into a paste. Also read | Woman shows rubbing banana peel on face works like Botox for brightening skin: But does it really and is it safe? In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr Sai Lahari Rachumallu, associate consultant, dermatology, Manipal Hospitals, Bhubaneswar, reacted to Kolbi's post and shared that while flaxseed gel may not be a direct replacement for Botox, it offers a natural alternative for those looking to improve skin health. Dr Sai shared that Botox, short for botulinum toxin, relaxes specific facial muscles by temporarily paralysing them. It reduces signs of ageing, the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and gives a more youthful appearance. 'Flaxseeds are a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and lignans. The gel is prepared by boiling flax seeds in water and keeping them overnight. Its benefits include that it hydrates skin, reduces visible signs of ageing because of its antioxidant properties and improves skin elasticity,' Dr Sai added. Here's what you need to know about flaxseed gel or 'flax gel', according to Kolbi: 'Flaxseed gel: a powerful, natural alternative to Botox. Rich in omega-3s and antioxidants, it helps firm the skin, reduce fine lines, and restore elasticity — no needles required.' She then listed some benefits of using flaxseed gel on face, saying: 1. Flax gel is an excellent natural moisturiser that helps hydrate the skin without making it greasy. It also helps maintain the skin's moisture barrier. 2. Rich in antioxidants, flax gel can help combat free radicals, thus reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and promoting a youthful appearance. 3. Flaxseed contains alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which has anti-inflammatory properties. This can help soothe irritated skin and is beneficial for conditions like acne or rosacea. 4. The gel can aid in the healing of minor cuts, burns, or blemishes due to its soothing properties. 5. Regular use of flax gel can help enhance skin texture, making it smoother and more supple. 6. The nutrients in flax gel help improve skin tone and brightness, giving the complexion a healthy glow. She also listed its benefits for hair, saying: 1. Flax gel is an effective natural moisturizer for hair, helping to keep it hydrated and preventing dryness and frizz. 2. The anti-inflammatory properties of flax gel promote a healthy scalp by reducing irritation and flakiness. 3. The presence of omega-3 fatty acids in flaxseeds contribute to stronger hair strands, reducing breakage and promoting overall hair health. 4. Regular application of flax gel enhances the shine and luster of hair, making it look healthier. Check out her post: A post shared by Kolbi Roper (@kolbiroper) Dr Sai Lahari Rachumallu told HT Lifestyle that 'because of the endless pursuit of youthful, brighter skin, many homemade remedies are rising and many social media influencers claim flaxseed gel works as a natural alternative for Botox'. However, how far is this true? Dr Sai said: 'Regular intake of flaxseeds or their use as a part of skin care routine may contribute to overall skin health, but for a significant reduction of wrinkles in a limited time, Botox is a better option. Muscle relaxation obtained by Botox injections, which are specific, cannot be obtained by flaxseed gel. Flaxseed gel may improve the skin elasticity and appearance, but saying it gives Botox-like results may not be true.'
