Felicia Goes to Top 36
Felicia’s husban, Loren, has given the update as to how Felicia found out she was back in the top 36! Here’s from his Facebook Group:
And then we got the call!!! Sure enough, right smack in the middle of the 150 viewers that were gathered at Freedom to watch the show, Ken Warwick (executive producer for Idol) called Felicia’s cell phone. She ran into the girl’s bathroom to take the call, and she was bouncing off the walls when Ken told her to pack her bags, because she was now in the top 36!!!! He also told her not to tell a soul until they made it public the next day. So we had to finish out the night as if she never got the call!
Of course, we awoke this morning to a media firestorm…with Felicia at the center of it! And now it’s time for her to go back to Hollywood and take the competition by storm! It’s going to be the ultimate underdog story when she becomes the next American Idol!!!
Last night, we were at Freedom Fellowship’s Idol viewing party with about 150 other excited, wonderful people. As the show began, I could see Felicia’s eyes watering up as she sat, prepared to relive her Great Disappointment. It had been almost a month now, since she received the big “No” from the judges and we flew home, rejected. Trust me…our emotions and thoughts ran the gamut, as we tried desperately to process what had just occurred. What they didn’t show on last night’s episode is that Felicia was actually in a ‘sing-off’ with a 16 year old girl! Felicia sang “No One” by Alicia Keys, and she said she felt like it was her best performance ever, and then she listened from the hallway as the other girl give, what she felt, was a very average performance.
So you can understand Felicia’s response of ,”Really…are you sure?” when the judges told her that it was the end of the road.
So there’s your inside look! Some other blogs with the scoop… MJ | JP
