Where are the other 3 coming from to make the top 12???

Seacrest said there would be a wildcard show after the 3 groups of twelve are finished. So yes, Tatiana could make it in after all.

I think the judges decide the wild cards so I would look for Ricky Braddy before Tatiana, unless they really want to keep the drama up.

keeping her in is more like pseduo-drama.
I liked Ricky Braddy. To bad his stage presence didnt hold up to his voice.

He reminds me of Clay Aiken - performing wise. I'm not making assumptions on his lifestyle until he sports a bright red leather coat or duets with Nathaniel.

It seems likely to me that Braddy wasn't voted in because he had no previous exposure. People hadn't identified with him yet. It just goes to show that people tend to vote (musically, politically, and otherwise) not with their left brain but with their right--though the left/right brain theory, I've heard, has been debunked, it's still a useful metaphor.

Paula is back on the dope again. She was all over the place tonight.

Tough call tonight. Is American Idol finally beginning its slow death for lack of talent? The only one who really stood out for me was Adam Lambert.

Here's my call:

1. Adam Lambert (A twenty-first-century Elvis, without Elvis's soul)
2. Megan Joy Corkrey (She feels genuine and has a cool, quirky style.)
3. Mishavonna Hanson (She didn't impress the judges, but she stood out more than Allison Iraheta's song did for me.)

Honorable mention: Allison Iraheta -- but some self-esteem issues that seem to be inherited from her mom. I hope she gets over them well for a happy, fulfilling life.

I LOVE Norman Gentle.

He can really sing. If he would have been serious he would have rocked the show last night.. but I love the character too. I can see his struggle with what to do. lol

Last night was a bust for me, except for ADAM. Time will tell. Slow, slow, slow.

He can't sell CDs. He is a joke, and a waste of a slot for a real talent. I hate it when people ruin the dreams of a serious musician with stupid antics.

Preach, Brother Gary. Exactly right. If he goes through, I don't know if I can continue watching.

Last nights group was horrid.

Yes, you never know with AI. But for my part, just go ahead and give it to Adam. He's head and shoulders above anyone in the field this year. Besides having talent, he's also polite, respectful, gracious, and mature.

At first, I thought Nick was a breath of fresh air. But then I realized I was watching American Idol, not Last Comic Standing. The fact is on LCS, he wouldn't have a shot and on AI, vocally, he wouldn't have a shot so he mixed the two. But he wouldn't sell records. I'm sure he'll at least get some type of localized comedy offer out of this or something.

Who'd you vote for this week? I thought it was better than last week. Lil Rounds took it for me, but I also liked Ju'not Joyner, Kristen McNamara, Felicia Barton, Jorge Nunez, and Scott MacIntyre. Kendall Beard didn't sing so well, but she's got a turn-on smile and personality.

I got in too late to see Von Smith sing. How did he do?
