Elizabeth Eckert, a 19-year-old Sacred Heart-Griffin High School graduate, appeared on Tuesday night's episode of "American Idol," which featured taped auditions in Omaha, Neb.
Her rendition of "I Heard It Through the Grapevine," was good enough to advance her to the next round of competition in Hollywood. She drew laughs at the end of her segment by accidentally telling the camera she would prove to "Idol" judge Simon Cowell that she would become "America's Next Top Model," which is a different reality show.
