This morning Lilly Scott sat down and chatted with Ellen DeGeneres and performed "Lullaby of Birdland." It seems that Lilly's anger towards her American Idol elimination has been replaced with gratitude and optimism for the future.

Ellen in turn showered Lilly with compliments, saying she was still in shock that Lilly was eliminated last week and commending her for staying true to herself. Lilly returned the favor, saying her Idol highlights largely involved Ellen's positive feedback. "It's so incredible, I can't believe that you even know who I am." While I appreciated Lilly's blunt honesty in her post-Idol interviews, the Lilly Scott that sat on stage with Ellen DeGeneres this morning was the Lilly Scott I was rooting for on Idol.



Here's the video of Lilly on Ellen:



Raise your hand if this video makes you sad you won't be seeing Lilly Scott perform a Rolling Stones song tonight.

And don't forget Alex Lambert fans and petition signers, Alex will be on Ellen tomorrow morning.
