Following the American Idol finale last night and the controversial results, many were stunned that fan fave La’Porsha Renae didn’t take home the title as the final idol. Although everyone was surprised at the outcome, La’Porsha herself says she was not the least bit surprised, in fact she expected it. Via ET:

Speaking with ET’s Sophie Schillaci after the two-hour series finale on Thursday, Renae admitted that she “kind of expected it to happen.”

“The person that everyone thinks is gonna win never wins, and the person that everyone thinks is not gonna win, usually does so I wasn’t stunned by it,” Renae shared.

“A lot of the former Idols were voting for me and that makes me feel really good,” Renae said. “Kelly Clarkson, Ruben [Studdard], Fantasia all wanted me to win and that touches my heart, so in my heart, I’m OK.”

Renae doesn’t seem to harbor any ill will toward Harmon. When asked to share her favorite moment from the finale, she replied, “Ironically my favorite moment was when Trent won. He really deserves it. Trent is such a good person.”
