With her eccentric style and rocker chic vibe, Ava Maybee stood out amongst the horse of country singers on 'American Idol' Season 20. The 21-year-old kept impressing the show's judges and fans week after week with her unique vocals and groovy performances. So, when it was announced that Ava didn't make the cut to Top 11 list, fans were understandably shocked and furious.

'American Idol' fans found it hard to understand how a talented performer like Ava was being sent home by the audience, especially after her impeccable performance to Harry Styles' 'Sign of the Times'. Many fans took to Twitter to slam the audience's voting choices and declared that Ava was robbed of her chance to win the ABC singing competition show.
