Among the finalists, she has stated that her closest friends are Paige Miles and Lee DeWyze although she is friends with all of them including Siobhan Magnus and Katie Stevens.

Brown's rendition of "Ruby Tuesday" by The Rolling Stones (she stated that her version is the one by Melanie Safka), according to the judges, "lacked energy" but Simon Cowell added that there was nothing wrong with her vocals. The following day, Brown was eliminated from the show on March 17, 2010. During the night of her elimination, the song "What a Wonderful World" was played at the beginning of the episode, with a montage of the Top 12's journey, setting the tone for her elimination. That night, the Judge's Save was reintroduced (which was also present in season 8). Despite her effort with another performance of "The Story", the judges chose not to save her. Her elimination stirred up controversy after Ryan Seacrest tweeted the results. This caused anger among the fans of the show and as a result, the show had "the smallest audience among 18–49-year-olds for a regularly scheduled in-season episode in "Idol" history". Because she fell short of the top 10, she and Paige Miles will not be on the American Idol 2010 summer tour.
