American Idol Recap

Lauren Andrego from Minnesota Live is back to recap the latest episode of American Idol.

1. One of the platinum ticket winners dropped out

• Three contestants receive a “platinum ticket” at auditions, which let them skip a round in Hollywood and choose their duet partner
• It also set them apart as a quasi-top three

2. We have a Minnesotan to cheer for – Elli Rowe

• She is a Rochester native who lives and studies in Nashville
• She cracked the top 24 and performed Sunday night

3. Some of Lauren’s favorites

• Tristen Gressett
• Leah Marlene
• Nicolina

4. Next week…

• A live 3 hour show on Sunday will cut the top 24 contestants– now 23– down to 20
• America votes now! Tune in on Sundays and Mondays
• You can vote via text or online
