American Idol Thoughts
“American Idol” is doing things differently this time. Over the next three weeks the 36 contestants are divided into three groups of twelve. Each week the top male and female will be put through, along with the person with the next highest votes (of the remaining ten).
After three weeks that will give us nine contestants. Then the rest will compete in a wild card show to bring in the final three for the twelve contestants. It was not explained how who would compete in the wild card show would be decided. They clearly can’t have everyone back, it’s too many (27 in one week?). My guess it will be a votes ranking thing.
Tonight the first twelve sang. I think the first ones out the gate were some of the best.
I thought Ricky did amazing, he was the guy from North Carolina and the first guy to sing I believe. Anoop did great as well. The final guy Danny was amazing as well. I think he might be Ricky’s biggest competition. It will probably be down to these two guys for the guy’s spot.
The girls, not so impressed! Alexis, the one with the blond hair and the pink whisps was amazing. If she isn’t the female picked to go through then we will be off to a bad start already. Shockingly, whiny drama queen Tatiana was better than most of the other girls!
The oil rig guy I think will get voted through as the third one simply for the “likability” factor honestly. Should he be? No others were better, but I think it might happen.
Who did you like, who do you think will make it?
I was wondering how the “top 9” was gonna be transformed into the “top whatever number they decide” because you know they can’t start the show in the real stage with just 9 people. I’m sure the wild card show will come down to who the judges think are deserving of another shot. Unless it’s already been said that it be based on votes. Last night was good. I like the blonde girl with the pink in her hair, Alexis?? She was the best out of all of them!
Oh. My. Word. what about that one chick that went CRAZY and then last night she was all reserved and stuff? Ta-te-on-ya? Something like that??? She is gonna go postal before the show is over. I hope they make them go through metal detectors before entering the building. She frightens me. Greatly!

Im not a fan of the format, it just seems stacked. Its of no surprise that Danny, the blind guy and others of that level aren’t competing against each other. It just seems like the producers know who they want in the top 12 and are doing all that they can to make sure they get what they want. Whats interesting is that with this format Vote for the Worst gets even more control. Now we wont have them putting one talentless singer through, but three if not four on the wild card night as well. I see them going back to the way it was or trying something new with the next group cause if they don’t the shows just going to become more of a joke than it is already.
