American Idol finally pared down to its top 12 finalists last night in what most are calling a shocking elimination.
Out of the four singers eliminated, many viewers were shocked to see Lilly Scott (top right), and Todrick Hall (top left) leave. The two singers earned rave reviews for their performances this week.
“I thought that I was appealing to a lot of people,” said Lilly. “A lot of incredible talent is going home tonight. I don’t know what America wants to hear.”
Teen power seemed to be come out on top of the show last night as teen singers Katie Stevens, 17 and Aaron Kelley, 16, made it to the top twelve.
And now the real competition begins! The judges have already declared Crystal Bowersox, 24, of Toledo, Ohio and Michael “Big Mike” Lynche, 26, as the two to beat.
A photo of the top twelve is below -

TELL US – WERE YOU SHOCKED BY THE ELIMINATIONS? WHO ARE YOU ROOTING FOR?
I didn’t know that Carol Brady circa 1970 was auditioning for American Idol this season!!
ya lilly scott shoulda been in the top 12. she’s very talented and always gives it her best when performing. i like her style, too, very cool.
I was upset to see Lilly and Katelyn to go. I thought Paige and Lacey Brown should have gone, or Katie Stevens. I really liked Lilly Scott.
The guys, they were right about Todrick-he’s just not that great. I think Alex was robbed. He is WAY better than Tim Urban and a couple of the other guys left standing. I hope Alex comes back next year-he’s great.
I predict Michael Lynche or Crystal Bowersox to be the winner.
I was definately shocked to see Todrick leave-he was one of the best!
