MACON, Ga. (WGXA) -- Miss America 2016 and Warner Robins native Betty Maxwell is out of American Idol.
The pageant winner made the announcement on her Facebook page this week.
"So now you know what I’ve known for months...Although I didn’t make it into the top 24, I’m so incredibly thankful for the journey," she wrote.
Maxwell took some time to thank all of her supporters as well as the judges and hinted at some hopes that her singing could land her at Disney in the future.
"But they went on to say that my voice just sounded too broadway and that’s not what they’re looking for on American Idol. I totally understand their decision, but hopefully I did get the attention of someone who is looking for a voice like mine @disney," she wrote.
