Outgoing American Idol contestant Katie Stevens has admitted that she and some of the other female contestants got very close during their time on the show. Singling out previous contestants Lacey Brown and Paige Miles, the 17 year old singer told USA Today:
American Idol reject Paige Miles has told Ellen DeGeneres that she knew she was being eliminated, because host Ryan Seacrest kept giving her ‘farewell pats.’
As well as an interview due to air this Thursday, Miles gave a live performance of “Living for the City” at the Universal City Walk in Orlando for the “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”
Paige Miles is the latest contestant to be eliminated from this year’s American Idol. After a lifeless performance of the Phil Collins classic Against All Odds, the American public responded by failing to vote in their thousands.
In last night’s bottom three were the weakest performers. Tim and Paige, who the judges claimed had both stopped competing to win weeks ago. Both had given singularly out-of-their-depth performances of classic songs, with Tim Urban slaughtering Queen’s classic Crazy Little Thing Called Love. They were joined in the bottom three by teenage Idol Katie Stevens, whose ability to consistently sing out of tune led me to wonder how she had managed to slip through to the Idol Top 12. Every single one of them deserved to be in the bottom.
Lacey Brown has admitted that she and Paige Miles shed some tears together, after she was eliminated from American Idol last week.
The 24 year old Florida girl revealed that she and AI roommate Paige (who also hails from the Sunshine State) became very close during their time on the show and will definitely stay in touch now that she’s left. In an interview with People, Lacey said:
American Idol contestant Michael (Big Mike) Lynche has revealed that he would love to have a Michael Jackson week on this year’s series of the show. But be warned, if bosses agree with Mike they can expect a clash between him and Paige Miles as they both want to sing the same song.
