Who Is Lilly Scott?

(MYFOX NATIONAL) - Lilly Scott will not be getting a chance to bring her style to the Top 12 stage, as she exited Idol on Thursday night.

Bringing an indie classic rock feel to season nine of "American Idol" is platinum-haired Lilly Scott, who hails from Littleton, Colo.

The 20-year-old made no secret of the fact that she thinks people need something else to "listen to besides Miley Cyrus or Britney Spears."

Before auditioning for TV biggest show, according to her Facebook fan page, the musician had been playing in her folk rock indie band, Varlet, for years.

It was her rendition of the Ella Fitzgerald classic "Lullabye of Birdland" that really wowed the judges during the Hollywood week auditions, with Kara Dioguardi calling her style "refreshing."

Scott told the Denver Post that she has sung herself hoarse from rehearsing "a big epic note" she'll hit when America starts voting this week.

As for bringing her individual edge to the show, she said she is quite pleased: "They're letting me do what I want. I got to pick songs I wanted."

She told USA Today her main reason for wanting to be the next "American Idol": "Because I know I can revolutionize the mainstream and change it up for everybody. I think people need to hear something new. It's a new decade."

Taking vocal lessons her whole life, Scott grew up listening to The Beatles and Billie Holiday, strongly influenced by "her style, her tone and voice."

"I feel like my craft is really perfected and I know what I'm doing when I go up there," reports USA Today. "I'm proud I've stuck with the guitar and tried to master that, too. I'm happy where I am as an artist right now."

And TVFanatic.com agrees, calling her "the most impressive so far. If American Idol is all about finding a fresh voice, then the discussion starts and ends with Scott."
