Though she was pegged by many as an early favorite this season, Alexis Grace was sent packing on American Idol‘s results show this week in the first big shocker of the year. And despite the judges telling her before her final performance that if it was good enough they would save her, they decided to stay in line with America’s votes and say goodbye to her. Here’s what she had to say:

“I was disappointed because I had imagine myself going farther than that, and it was a little bit surprising to myself. Not surprising because I kinda had a feeling that I would be in the bottom, but I never imagined myself going home that early,” the 21-year-old from Memphis,TN told reporters during a media conference call on Thursday. “I figured I’d stay in the game a little bit longer, so I was disappointed a little bit.

But being in the bottom didn’t surprise her…

“I knew before we even got there, I knew the night of the show that I would be in the bottom three. I could feel it,” she told reporters. “I had a feeling from what the judges said and just the way the night went, I had a feeling.”

Alexis further expressed that she wishes she could have sang her song from the previous week, feels that she let her state (Tennessee) down by going home during country week, and wishes she could have gone on tour. Duh.

I never really got the Alexis hype. She was good, but didn’t have the star factor and besides her pink hair, really didn’t stand out. We do wish her the best of luck with her career and her family in the future!
