On “American Idol” Alexis Grace was sent home. She and Michael Sarver were the bottom two.
On “Dancing With The Stars” it was Belinda Carlisle who fell victim to the first to go curse.
In both cases I think the wrong people were sent home! Steve Wozniak should have gone over Belinda, and Michael Sarver over Alexis. But oh well!
Jasmine, Megan and Matt were selected tonight on the Wild Card show. However Simon then made a shocking announcement . . . they were doing 13 finalists this year and put Anoop in as well!
Scott, Lil and Jorge made it through on “Idol” tonight. They then announced the Wild Cards for tomorrow night’s show. These eight people chosen by the judges are . . . . (Not sure on some of their last names as they were calling them)
Von Smith
Jasmine Murray
Ricky Brady
Megan (1st group)
Tatiana! (I knew she’d go through!)
Matt (Drew?)
Jessie (Lasee?)
Anoop!
Right out of the gate and the first to perform, Von rocked it, he was really good. I thought “Wow,” this should be a great show if that was performance number 1!”
Oh how wrong I was! Many of the rest just fizzled. To quote Simon, forgettable and boring, some just terrible!
I think Jorge from Peurto Rico was amazing, he will be Von’s competition for the male spot.
The final contestant Lil who did Mary J Blige was amazing, hands down she won the female spot.
These three, Von, Jorge and Lil will probably make it, or should make it through in this round.
Felecia was brought back to the competition after one of the originals to go through got disqualified for her connections to the show, and already having had a record deal. I thought she was okay, the judges loved her. I thought some of her notes were way off.
Kristin, who sang Tracy Chapman, I thought was vocally good, but boring.
Nathan, who I expected to be wowed by, sang Meatloaf and well . . I would have done anything if he would have stopped singing to be honest! I just didn’t like it at all. The judges didn’t really either, but they liked him and felt he was at least memorable. Yeah I’ll give him that.
The guy who sang Bruce Hornsby bored me to death, even the judges loved him. He could be a darkhorse this week and make it through.
As of yet, we still have no idea how they will do the Wild Card show next week. I guess we’ll find out tomorrow with the results show.
Correction: The Wildcard show is THIS Thursday, not next week. Thanks to Teach for pointing this out in the comments. Also it appears that anywhere from 8-9 of the judges favorites are brought back to battle it out for the final 3 spots. There is also a rumor that they might bring back ones who never even made it past Hollywood.
Well tonight’s “American Idol” was . . . um . . . horrid! The first three just picked the wrongs songs and came out sounding like they were on Karaoke Idol. Later performers got better, but it was slim pickens tonight.
Allison (red head rocker chick) who did Heart was one of the best ones of the night. She will be the female who goes through. If she’s not, there is a problem! Her competition will come from the girl who sang Betty Davis Eyes, Jessie.
Adam, who sang Satisfaction, was probably the best of the men tonight. He should be the man who goes through. The kid Kris who sang Man In The Mirror was great. He will be Adam’s competition, and in my opinion should be the third to go through.
However this is American Idol, the one with the talent doesn’t always go through. The likability factor is a big thing. On that note though the judges thought he was boring, I thought Matt the iron worker was really good. Like the oil rig guy, I think he’ll get through just cause of who he is. He appeals to a lot of America right now with the economy and the fact he’s a hard working blue collar guy. Should that get him though? No, but I bet it does.
Danny, Michael and Alexis are the first three put into the final twelve. Drama Queen Tatiana did NOT make it, but I have a feeling she will be in the Wild Card Show.
As of yet we still don’t know if the Wild Card Show contestants are based on votes or the judges choice.
I figured Michael (the oil rig worker) would go through. I stand by my statement that he shouldn’t have, others like Anoop were better than him. I think he has a likability factor and a lot of America can associate with him, especially in these economic times.
“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?
My main questions really are about the haze, and also when the heck did Regina figure out who Emma was? This episode? Finale Once for the year too!
