Last night, while the judges huddled and America held its breath, Didi Benami herself was in a whole other place. "Ultimately, I felt like I was going home," she admits. "I was in a head space where I was OK either way." The eliminated songbird, however, was not OK with Kara DioGuardi and the other judges' criticisms..."I don't feel like I lost my way," Didi told reporters today. That was the most popular phrase among the judges, especially Kara, every time Didi stepped away from the mic. And the bubbly eliminee has her own theories about that. "I feel like they wanted me to do something specific every week," the Knoxville, Tenn., native argued. "I was just showing a different side to myself. It probably wasn't a side they wanted to see, but I have them." Quickly removing her teeth from the hands that feed her (she is guaranteed a spot on the American Idol tour this summer, after all), Didi said, "I appreciate Kara. I think they were all trying to be really helpful." |
