Fans were shocked when Sarina-Joi Crowe was the first of
American Idol's top twelve to be eliminated. But Crowe, a four-time contestant on Idol, has no regrets. In a recent conversation with journalists, Crowe said she learned a lot from the experience.
"One valuable thing that I will take from this show for the rest of my life is that when you have a gut feeling about something, and your gut is telling you something, you need to follow your gut, no matter what. So if a million people are chattering away at you about what you need to do, but they’re not out there doing it, you are, who’s going to be disappointed in the end if it doesn’t work out - you or them?"
While living in Los Angeles with the other contestants, Crowe also learned a little something about herself.
"I learned that I am very motherly, apparently. According to the other contestants," she confesed, "I’m extremely motherly, and I care a lot about other people. And I always say if American Idol was a beauty pageant, I would have won Miss Congeniality, apparently, because I was trying to help everyone a lot.
