American Idol Top 12

A few surprises tonight and a big disappointment with the last girl chosen to go home. This is the first year I haven't agreed with the top 12 picks.

Don't want to post results here yet in case some KTers haven't watched the show yet.

Anybody else disappointed?

Yes - I just said as much in another thread....

.... Doesn't the top 12 usually tour together, and make an album? That is one I WON'T be buying.

Actually, I think only the top TEN do......when they eliminate one more boy and one more girl, they will be the ones who do the summer tour. The top 12 is just when they start having both boys and girls in the same show.

I don't think it's by popular vote anymore. I think the producers pick a well-rounded group to include all races, different styles of music and someone that will appeal to the teeny boppers who bring in money with their text votes and consume their sponsor's products. (As it should be, when you think about it)

My comment about JL crying gig was only a guess...don't take it so serious. It could be a drama session for ratings believe me most of those shows are scripted and filmed by a director who picks certain video shots, such as, on Amazing Race, Survivor, etc......Do you really think all these shows are the real thing??? Please!!!! As for the young fellow who was helping his girlfriend...I felt for him but, there were many others who hardship stories too. I thought this was a singing contestant not This is your life. I think JL still looked beautiful even when she was crying...she kept her head down and blotted her tears. I hope I am wrong but .....I wonder!!!!

What happens next...they go to Hollywood. In the past they split everyone into groups to perform a song. They had 24hrs to learn the song.....but...some went out partying ALL night, some came together. The judges then picked the top male and females. In the past, 12 men, 12 women were chosen. The top 6 of each gender go on tour. Quote: A "sudden death" semi-final will be introduced in season 10, in which America will vote to select the Idol finalists from among two groups of ten. The public will choose five girls and five boys for the live shows in the finals. The judges will then choose contestants from the Wild Card round to advance to the finals.

I haven't watched as much in recent years, but they've always had the group thing, and it's probably the hardest part. There are just some people who don't know how to get along with others, and also how important it is that they do so. Not to mention remembering the words, lol! Last year, we just tried to catch Adam's performances when we could. Been watching a little more this year, and love Ellen, too! She's a positive addition, imho:-)

I don't consider Rhianna a great singer. All her songs have that echo effect which I think makes her sound better than she is. As for Mike who could have been voted off, though he's a good singer, I think they should have let him go. He doesn't bring anything different to the stage like Crystal, Casey, and that funky girl do. Everything he sings sounds the same and to me, a REAL singer, can change things up a bit. They should have saved the vote for another person, and I think they will wish they had later.

This year seems to me to be very slim pickings; not an idol in sight, imo.....
except for the big guy whose wife had a baby while he was auditioning.
He sings with heart and soul ; let's just name him the Idol and be done
with it, lol....
