American Idol continued its tradition of head-scratching and shocking eliminations on April 27 when Brooks Rosser and Daniel Stallworth left the competition after failing to be voted through to the Top 5.
After Brooks sang “Love Story” on Taylor Swift Night, judge Carrie Underwood rhetorically asked the singer if he knew how many folks loved him. “I ask everybody I know, ‘Who’s your favorite?’ and people just love you,” Underwood shared. “I don’t know if you know that.’”
