‘American Idol’ results for Kaneohe’s Lilinoe
Hawaii’s “American Idol” hopeful, Ashley Lilinoe of Kaneohe, lost her bid to be one of the singing competition’s contestants during a Hollywood Week round of judging that aired tonight on Fox.
The 21-year-old Lilinoe, a guitarist and singer, performed in a group rendition of the X Ambassadors song “Renegades.”
Lilinoe called the performance overwhelming. She said it was fun, but she lost her way while singing.
“There was so much going on that I didn’t know what to do,” she said earlier this week. “When it came to our performance, there was a point where I think I kind of forgot the song. I didn’t really resonate with what I was singing.”
Lilinoe had earned an audition in the Hollywood Week round by impressing the judges with her performance in Denver, which aired Jan. 14. The Hollywood audition was shot in November, she said.
From the start, Lilinoe was ambivalent about her participation on “American Idol.” She said she did not have a burning desire to win the competition but wanted the experience.
“I knew that it wasn’t something that I wanted,” she said. “I just wanted to connect with everyone that I met and to evolve in being a singer.”
This is the 15th and final season of “American Idol.”

“I knew that it wasn’t something that I wanted,” she said. “I just wanted to connect with everyone that I met and to evolve in being a singer.” Didn’t want to win, just wanted to hang out. Wow.
When I think of “American Idol”, I think it’s more about trying to “fit the mold” of what other people want you to be as an artist. And if you’ve ever seen Ashley’s videos and listened to her music, there’s definitely an element of “artistry”, where the songs and her style of playing is truly her own…… I like her music! The girl can jam! She doesn’t just sing and play guitar. She makes MUSIC!
The suspense is “killing” us all. Who will be the final winner left standing?
allie has hidden talent.
If she had as much talent as poor attitude shei might have made a run. Get off your ridiculous fake sun child act and get over yourself.
