The 'Idol' lament: Top 24's final elimination hits a bummed note
If there's one thing we learned from Thursday's final Top 24 elimination, America apparently does not appreciate the left of center. How else do you explain the ouster of two favorites, one a critics' darling (Lilly Scott), the other an underdog that came up from way behind (Alex Lambert), who delivered more than decent performances last week? Or maybe it's just a distaste for music of the 1970s? Whether it was King (Carole, that is) or Queen, Todrick Hall and Katelyn Epperly...
