Lilly Scott, Alex Lambert, Todrick Hall and Katelyn Epperly: Voted Off American Idol

The last and most surprising elimination of the night was that of Lilly Scott's. I blame her elimination on two things: She ended the night and Simon Cowell just labeled her "cute," and as I've said many times, she kind of seemed like a b*tch, therefore making it difficult for viewers to connect with her.

Lilly Scott and Katelyn Epperly should have been spared.

Before Lilly got cut, Katelyn Epperly was eliminated. Lacey Brown SUCKS and she should have been sent packing.

Alex Lambert, who has a great voice but lacks stage presence, was also sadly given the boot. Tim Urban SUCKS. He just doesn't have what it takes. He's not right for the competition. And Todrick Hall, the totally gay dancer and singer, was sent home.

Crystal Bowersox was not happy that Lilly was eliminated and Siobhan Magnus bawled when Alex's journey ended. I wonder if Alex and Siobhan had something going on? I think I have a few more Idol posts in me that I may post over the weekend. Now that I'm watching this crap, I have a lot to say about it. I have issues.

Casey James, Didi Benami, and Todrick Hall Make American Idol's Top 24

Casey James, pictured above, is in Idol's Top 24 - as we previously reported. The Texas singer is a "potential breakout star" this season, but I think this season is filled with great talents. They can all be a "potential breakout star" at this point in the competition.

The other six contestants that made the cut are: Didi Benami, 23, Michael "Big Mike" Lynche, 26, Katelyn Epperly, 19, Aaron Kelly, 16, and Lee Dewyze, 23.

Katelyn Epperly is the curly haired American Idol hopeful and singer of indie/funk band Katelyn & the Bruises. Katelyn sang "Syrup and Hunny" by Duffy at her Idol audition in Chicago, Illinois.

While trying to become 'the next American Idol,' Katelyn kept herself busy by attending school in Des Moines, Iowa. She is rumored to not only make it to Hollywood, but to get into one of the coveted Top 24 slots.
