..and hello to her family and their new puppy! =) Lil Rounds has been in the bottom three for the past weeks with the American Idol judges criticizing her every performance. Her latest a take on Chaka Khan’s “I’m Every Woman”, was highly criticized. Lil Rounds was disappointed by her elimination but she says she’s excited to go home and spend a couple of weeks with her children, and with the new puppy she says her husband bought for her. She shares,

“When I look back on my performances I was proud of what I did. I felt like I was being an artist, I felt like I stayed true to what I was doing from the time I came on the show, my audition up until when I left. I actually walked away pretty proud of myself.”

And now that Lil Rounds is gone, only one woman, 16-year-old Allison Iraheta, remains in the top five of American Idol. The mother of three says she’s been keeping an eye on Allison since they joined America’s most popular show. She said, “She has been like my little sister. I love her to death. I let her know right before I left: Represent the ladies, hold it down.”
