ORLANDO(TIP): Orlando based Indian American singer Alyssa Raghu’s run on “American Idol” has ended.
The 16-year-old, a sophomore at Lake Nona High School, made it to the Top 24. But she was not among the singers who advanced to the Top 14 on April 16 episode.
Raghu had done well in the previous episode with her version of Rihanna’s “Stay.” Judge Katy Perry had championed Raghu and praised the teen’s tone. But Raghu’s duet with Banners on Coldplay’s “Yellow” underwhelmed the judges on April 16thtelecast.
In an interview last week, Raghu appreciated the experience of being on the show.
“They’ve just helped me grow as an artist. I really can’t ask for much more,” she said. “They helped me grow and get exposure. I have to thank ‘American Idol’ for that. I’m doing what I love every single day. I really can’t tell you how happy that makes me.”
