Grammy Contest Winner Booted from "Idol"

Click to return to TMZ.comRobyn Troup was good enough to sing with Justin Timberlake on the Grammys on Sunday, but she was canned from the Hollywood hopefuls on last night's "American Idol."

With her "Idol" rejection taped long before she won the "My Grammy Moment" contest, Troup had a Jennifer Hudson moment by landing a major break after getting the "Idol" ax.

Now, it's either a record deal for the 18-year-old Houston native -- or a trip to "The Surreal Life." Good luck!

16. Just because a black person didn't get through that does not automatically mean that it was racist. You are a hypocrite yourself for reffering to the girl as a "fat ass cracker" that is just racist and unacceptable, the very thing you say you are fighting against you yourself are promoting it. What a pity. This is comming from another black person by the way.

19. I couldn't have imagined her on American Idol, so Robin chose another arena to display her talent. I think that some Grammy people don't like American Idol, so they did this contest to one up on them. Sing with a major artist instead of the grueling 12-weeks that they have to go through. She sounded good with Justin Timberlake and his live band.
