To say that some of us at EW.com have gone into mourning over the elimination of the brilliant, perfect, incredible Allison Iraheta would be a bit of an understatement. Still, I managed to keep my tear duct floodgates closed long enough to ask Allison about yesterday's unfortunate American Idol results show.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Okay, Allison. I've had a hard night since you got voted off. How are you going to console me?
ALLISON IRAHETA: I have to console you? Okay. I'm good. I'm just so happy I've made it this far. It's been such a great ride.

Sorry, but you can't be that happy. I simply do not think you ever got the credit you deserved. Do you think you did?
I mean, I don't know. I honestly don't know. It was weird. Sometimes I would get criticized for what I would wear and I'd be like, Wait. What about the way I sang? But I guess this whole thing is about a package and they want to see you as a recording artist. It's all for the best, though.

I have to say, the second Ryan said that Kris was safe, I knew you were going home. Did you have a bad feeling last night?
I knew I was going even before that. I had a feeling. Something told me that that was it. First of all, I was in the bottom three more than anyone. So I just warmed up for the song before the show, which I did every time there was a results show. And it paid off.

Don't you feel bitter that you went home after such a great performance of ''Cry Baby'' and Danny Gokey got to stay after hitting a note that even he mocked?
Honestly, I don't know what to say. It's hard. Danny Gokey is an amazing singer. As well as Kris and Adam. It's a hard call. I'm bummed. More than being off the show, even, I miss them. Being away from them hurts the most. Being eliminated? I was going to get eliminated at one point or another.

Really? You never thought you had a chance?
I never really thought I'd get that far. It was too much for me. I had confidence issues in the beginning and then I gained confidence throughout the show. I guess I thought I had a chance because I'd made it to the top 4. But you know, things happen for a reason. Chris Daughtry left as number four too.
