(Heart of Illinois ABC) -- On the first round of the season 20 finale of "American Idol," local musician Leah Marilyn was excluded from the show. Normal Town Citizen's long road to the final episode saw widespread support both locally and nationally.

The first set of performances consisted of songs by songwriters Bruce Springsteen. Lea was the first singer to sing her version of "Cover Me" from the 1984 album Springsteen Born in USA.

To open the second round, the highlight is the journey of each of the finalists to their hometown. Once again, Marilyn was first on the tour, with a montage of her return to Normal Town this past Tuesday. She began with her visit to Parkside Junior High and Normal West High School, where she was greeted by friends in the lanes. Yellow Eid decorations were seen on the walls, where she sang with the school choir and met former teachers. This was followed by a visit to his family, where he joined them at dinner before a show downtown later that night.

"I couldn't be more proud of you." His father, Deri Al-Jarhan, said. "You are the most beautiful daughter a father could wish for."

The group ended up arriving downtown with a special escort and performing live in front of a crowd of thousands.

“It was the most beautiful experience in my whole life,” Marilyn told the audience, expressing surprise as she greeted the audience.

After the release, Marilyn sang her own song to the judges called "Flowers". Host Ryan Seacrest told the audience that he wrote it for his ex-wife, which is reflected in the message of resilience in the song's lyrics. The judges praised Marilyn for her performance and growth during her tenure on the show, as she began to cry.

"I'm so tired, so tired," Marilyn said in response to Seacrest's question about how she was feeling. "I would never believe you two years ago if you said I was here, I never thought I'd get out of this. And now I'm here singing this song (for) people in this situation."

"You have a right to feel those feelings now," Judge Luke Bryan said.
