Here's an early elimination America didn't even get a chance to vote on: The official individual Twitter and Facebook pages of the “American Idol” contestants are a thing of the past. They've been consolidated into one central page shared by all of the contestants on each social networking site. Same goes for MySpace .

Lilly Scott , 20, looks like she’s 30 with that hair. She’s singing the Beatles’ “Fixing a Hole,” which is a pretty unfamiliar song for a lot of people, I bet. But her jazzy voice is great with this song. It’s not the most rousing song, but she’s had the best voice of the night so far

One of the many thoughts in my head after watching American Idol last night: wasn’t that a bit of a throwback to Beatles week in the seventh season? They even put the Beatles performances–Lilly Scott’s, Katelyn Epperly’s and Haeley Vaughn’s–together! Now, I’m in the middle of rediscovering the Beatles, especially since their whole back catalogue was just reissued (and with better sound, I must add), so I was a little anxious how this would pan out. But I’m glad to say the three performances gave justice to the songs they chose, albeit with varying degrees.
It's been said time and time again (so far this season, at least) — that 2010's “American Idol” is a girl's race to lose, and with tonight's two-hour episode, we'll see how these 12 fierce females stack up in their first live semifinal round (Fox, 8 p.m.). This week's theme: top 10 songs from the Billboard Hot 100, going all the way back to the Beatles and the Who, according to rumors making their way around the blogosphere. Hoping to land a coveted spot in the Top 12 will be Didi Benami, Crystal Bowersox, Lacey Brown, Michelle Delamor, Katelyn Epperly, Siobhan Magnus, Paige Miles, Ashley Rodriguez, Lilly Scott, Katie Stevens, Haeley Vaughn and Janell Wheeler. The boys perform on Wednesday, with Season 9's first live results delivered on
Auditions ended last night for the ninth season of American Idol, and the judges remaining picks for the Top 24 semifinalists were revealed. The Top 24 semifinalists are: (females) Didi Benami , Crystal Bowersox , Lacey Brown , Michelle Delamor , Katelyn Epperly , Siobhan Magnus , Paige Miles , Ashley Rodriguez , Lilly Scott , Katie Stevens , Haeley Vaughn and Janell Wheeler ; (males) Lee Dewyze , Andrew Garcia , Tyler Grady , Todrick Hall , Casey James ,

And just when I thought we’ve seen most of the name the folks over at American Idol wanted us to focus on, they spring another one on us. The girl who works at a sandwich shop and auditioned in Denver barely got exposure before tonight, and yet she surprises with how good she is. Her voice reminds me a little bit of Zee Avi, a little bit of Madeleine Peyroux and a little bit of Zooey Deschanel. As it turns out, this girl, Lilly Scott, is on the Top 24 spoilers list
