Memphis singer Lil Rounds scraped by another week on Fox’s singing contest “American Idol.” Tonight’s results show put her in the bottom two of the seven contestants.
Judge Simon Cowell had been critical of her performance of “The Rose” from the 1979 Bette Midler film of the same name on Tuesday night.
She took the unusual tact of defending herself, saying that she had tried to do what the judges suggested with her arrangements.

Ultimately, it was Matt Giraud who got the lowest number of call-in votes, but the judges used their single “save” to keep him in the competition one more week.
That means a tough round next Tuesday night, when two contestants will be eliminated. Next week’s theme is disco music, giving Rounds, with her gospel and R&B vocal flavor, a possible advantage against the least popular crooners Giraud and Anoop Desai.
