Grace quickly hugged her mom and told her friend and fellow contestant: "Lauren, I love you."
Lauren responded with a brave face: "I love you too, congratulations girl."
However, fans weren't all that happy when Grace scored the last spot - with some even going as far as claiming they will stop watching the show.
One person wrote: "Welp, I'm done with American Idol for the year. AI never supports songwriter. They always go for the glam."
