"Pia Toscano is taking her bad news in stride.\r\nAlthough the singer, beloved by the judges, was shockingly eliminated from American Idol on Thursday&amp;apos;s show, Toscano was calm and philosophical during a Friday conference call with reporters.\r\n\r\nWhy didn&amp;apos;t Idol viewers call in their support for the 22-year-old New Yorker, whom Jennifer Lopez deemed &amp;quot;out of this world&amp;quot;?\r\n&amp;quot;I really don&amp;apos;t know,&amp;quot; Toscano told UsMagazine.com. &amp;quot;You can&amp;apos;t really say why I got voted off.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nShe speculated: &amp;quot;It could have been people maybe assumed I was safe, [or] maybe they didn&amp;apos;t. Maybe there was a lack of connection.&amp;quot;\r\nThe songbird certainly had a connection with Idol&amp;apos;s judges, who were devastated by Thursday&amp;apos;s turn of events. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m shocked,&amp;quot; Lopez said. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m angry. I don&amp;apos;t know what to say.&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m gutted,&amp;quot; added Randy Jackson. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m never upset on this show and never mad, but this makes me mad.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;You don&amp;apos;t know for sure why things happen, but you know, it did!&amp;quot; Toscano continued on Friday. &amp;quot;It was my time to go on the show and I&amp;apos;m excited to see what my future holds.&amp;quot;\r\nToscano had one other comment for Us: &amp;quot;I love your magazine! I love it!&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
