Alexis Grace Idol' Elimination Q&A
1. How did feel after getting the results?
I was disappointed because I had imagined myself going farther than that, and it was a little bit surprising to myself ... I kind of had a feeling that I would be in the bottom, but I never imagined myself going home that early. I figured I'd stay in the game a little bit longer. So I was disappointed a little bit because I'd made it that far. It's like, I want to make it a little farther, at least.

2. Do you think it would've helped if you'd been able to sing a different song to earn the save?
I'm gonna be honest -- I think it could have. I think if I sang the first song that I sang, 'Never Loved a Man,' that maybe I would still be there. I don't know. I think that 'Jolene' is a beautiful song [but] I don't think it was [the judges'] favorite performance, so I didn't really get to really show them and remind them again why they picked me, or why America picked me.

3. Is it more bittersweet to be cut during country week, since you're from Tennessee?
It totally is. I feel kind of like I let my state down, you know? I'm from the South and we're supposed to do country well. And I actually think I sing country pretty [well] so it was a disappointment. Kind of let them down a little bit. But ... I think I will be able to redeem myself from that.

4. You play the guitar, so did you think about accompanying yourself on 'Jolene'?
You know it's funny, Randy said the same thing to me last night. Yeah, I was actually thinking about doing it ... [but] I wasn't sure of myself. And sometimes when you get up there with your guitar, you get nervous and mess up, and I was just afraid that that might happen and it might be one of those nights. I wanted to stay away from any accidents happening.

5. Are you disappointed not to go on tour?
I'm really disappointed about that. I would've loved to have gone on tour, especially with all those guys. I'm really close with them, and I know that they're going to do really well and it would have been fun to do some duets with some of those people, too. But there will be other tours.

6. Do you think a guy will definitely win this year simply because there are more of them in the finals?
I don't know. I mean, there are a lot more boys than girls, so the percentage is higher. But that doesn't mean anything because America votes, so it could go either way.

7. What was the most challenging part of being on the show?
Probably being away from my family; my daughter especially. That was tough because I went from being a stay-at-home mom and being with her every day to not seeing her at all or hardly talking to her, so it was really tough to be away from her.

8. Who were you closest to among the finalists?
I would definitely say Megan and Matt G. [Matt] cracks me up. He's hilarious -- always making jokes and doing riffs and runs all the time. And then Megan because we're pretty much like the same. We both have kids the same age, she has a boy and I have a girl. And we always joked about on tour how our son and daughter would be boyfriend and girlfriend.

9. What kind of album would you make?
Some soul mixed in with blues and country. I kind of like the three combined together. Maybe some, I don't know, Joss Stone mixed with like, Carrie Underwood with Sheryl Crow, or something like that.

I don't think she was a gracious loser like she tries to come across. You could see by the look on her face that she felt she didn't deserve to even be in the bottom three!!
She may have been good in the previous nights but, she wasn't Tuesday night.
A real singer can't have good and bad days and expect to keep the fans.
That a load of BS, singers have off nights. You say she looked as if she didnt belong in the bottom three and she had every right to look that way. She is an AMAZING singer and that other guy was horrible. She didnt deserve to be voted off and how graceful would you be if your dream came to an end, not to mention this being live on television.
Alexis wasn't good enough this week, and I hate to say it cause I really like her, she's great.But it was her turn to leave..Trust be that girl will be called upon>>LOL She is awesome, stylish ,awesome vocals ,loves the stage, very comfortable,,She'll be alrightWe are going to see her out there again..
i disagree with your statement singers have bad days all the the time look at eminem he had a very bad rap but he still has the fans that he has had for years also toby keith when he attacked that fan he still is well liked
Are you nuts? She looked perfectly understandable. She looked sad. and hurt. Who wouldn't. And EVERYONE has good days and bad. Singers, actors, everybody. Geez, what a fair weather fan are you.
Obviously some people took me the wrong way, I didn't say that people don't have bad days but.....
there are a lot of people out there who are one hit wonders!!!! And they don't keep the fans when they can't keep up with the vocals.
SOME WORD IN ADDITION TO TALK ABOUT ALEXIS - IDOL ISN'T HER FIRST PARTICIPATION IN TV SHOWS. SOME YEARS AGO WAS NIGHT SHOW ON SOME CHANNEL. THEY INVITED GIRLS THAT WANT TO BE A STARS AND IT WAS INTERVIEW WITH THEM. MAIN FEATURE OF THAT SHOW WAS THAT ALL GIRLS WERE __TOPLESS__. SO ALEXIS WAS THERE!!! DON'T BELIVE? I'VE FOUND THAT EPISODE AT THE INTERNET HERE - http://Alexis-Grace-nude.notlong.com SO MAYBE YOU'LL CHANGE YOU POSSITION AFTER WATCHING IT. Btw, she's awesome there:):)
well excues me mr. perfect.....god forbid she doesn't sing well. I think even though she had an off night, she should have had a chance to stay. And maybe she was a gracious lose,but she had a hardtime accepting that she was eliminated
alexis needed to be in it to the end along with danny and maybe adam or matt ??????
I totally agree. Alexis is a great singer. There are a few men that are still there and I cant understand why. She didnt deserve to be sent home.
