While I think it still should be the Top 12 (bringing back that baritone was a bizarre bust, IMHO), I think they mostly got the Top 13 right. Looks like next week I gotta start taking notes again, so stay tuned....

For the past 10 years the judges kept telling the contestants it'd be rough trying to cover songs by difficult superstars like Stevie and Mariah, etc, but next week is just that. Should be interesting....

Ooh, someone's a bit jaded now, isn't he?? Not just now... MC may be right to a point -- there needs to be some variety, etc, to gain maximum audience. I have no problem with that when it comes to narrowing down the lot from hundreds to dozens, or even the Top 24. I just don't want to find out that the 50 million votes mean nothing after that!

Okay, here we go... Top 13 - Music by Stevie Wonder (guys) & Whitney Houston (gals), with mentor Mary J. Blige For the first time, it's Guys vs Gals. One of each will be the Bottom 2, and the judges will send one home. IMHO:
A- Jessica "I Will Always Love You"
B+ Joshua "I Wish"
B+ Hollie "All the Man That I Need"
B+ Deandre "Master Blaster"
B Colton "Lately"
B Jeremy "Rivers In The Sky"
B Skylar "Where Do Broken Hearts Go?"
B Erika "I Believe in You and Me"
B Jermaine "Knocks Me on My Feet"
B- Shannon "I Have Nothing"
C+ Philip "Superstition"
C Elise "I'm Your Baby Tonight"
C- Heejun "All is Fair in Love"
In order of appearance: Joshua was very good. R: Blew it out, you can do anything; J: Felt it; S: Brought it home, nailed it Elise was a bit shaky. J: Not your best; S: Good but wrong song; R: Boxing with the song, not best Jermaine was okay. S: Perfect; J: Connect with song more, relax; R: Love the verses, not the chorus Erika was okay, too. R: Unbelievable, yes yes go go; J: Goosies before you even started singing, safe, stop thinking; S: Beautiful Colton has a great voice, but not perfect here. This could be recorded now. S: Outstanding; J: Great; R: Not picture perfect in beginning, then flawless, well done Shannon hit some good big notes, but shaky - then effed up. J: Thinking got the best of you, capable, relax; S: Nerves; R: We know you can sing that song Deandre, I love his voice. S: Beautiful, loved it; J: Have rhythm and soul; R: Didn't want it to stop Skylar I like, some pitchy spots, some money shots. J: Definition of composure, not all perfect, amazing; S: Beautiful, well done; R: You can sing any song (not just country) Heejun was disappointing as I liked him early, pitchy, perhaps too soft. J: I love you; S: Fantastic, special; R: Not perfect but really good Hollie has some great potential. R: Big song, nailed it; J: Beautiful; S: Nailing it, really nice Jeremy has a nice voice. S: Velvety smooth voice; J: Really really beautiful; R: Not your best, more swag Jessica showed great voice control, practically perfect, wow. R: Give it all to her, legit, OMG; J: Just just amazing, speechless; S: You may be the one Philip is cool, but kinda gets old after a short while. S: Lots of 'fuggedaboutit' in your vocals [huh?]; J: Made it your own, killed it; R: We need you, you drive your own car in your own lane, I love it

I thought Georgia Peaches would never end. Really? It went by quickly for me, considering I fast-forwarded over most of it.  I start watching halfway thru live shows so I can skip commercials -- that saves 15+ mins per hour

I wonder what happens to those contestants who say 'this means everything to me, this is my whole life, if don't win, I don't know what I'm gonna do............' of them wins. Every contestant says that!

'American Idol' finalist tweets that he's goneBy DERRIK J. LANG | Associated Press – 3 hrs ago
Jermaine Jones is apparently out on "American Idol."
The 25-year-old vocal instructor from Pine Hill, N.J., tweeted Tuesday night that he would no longer be on the Fox singing contest. He wrote on his official "Idol" Twitter account: "Awww I will no longer b on the show," but the post was later deleted.
A Fox spokeswoman declined to comment on the matter or confirm his tweet.
The so-called "gentle giant" was among the show's viewer-selected top 13 finalists after the judges gave him a last-minute spot among the 11th season's top 13 male semifinalists.
He was among the bottom three vote-getters last week after performing Stevie Wonder's "Knocks Me Off My Feet" but advanced to the group of top 12 singers.
"Idol" contestants in the past have been asked or forced to leave when the show deems that their work or personal history is an issue.
Corey Clark was disqualified for concealing his arrest record during the second season in 2003. Frenchie Davis was also dropped from "Idol" that year because of her previous appearance on an adult website.
During the eighth season in 2009, Joanna Pacitti was shown advancing to the top 36 semifinalists after "Hollywood Week" but was later replaced. Pacitti released an album in 2006 and had ties to 19 Entertainment, which produces "Idol" with FremantleMedia North America.
Chris Golightly was dropped from the top 24 semifinalists in the ninth season in 2010 because he didn't disclose that he had a previous record contract.
In contrast, the singing competition allowed past finalists like the sixth season's Antonella Barba and the seventh season's David Hernandez to stay on after racy photos that appeared to be Barba leaked online. Hernandez was revealed as having once worked as a nightclub stripper.

Hollie and Joshua were far and away the best of the night, followed by Jessica, Skylar, Erika, Phillip and Elise (in no particular order). I don't know why they panned Jessica's performance, because that was an incredibly difficult song to sing and I thought she was decent.
Why do I always forget Colton until I see the recap at the end of the show?? He's good, but forgettable for some reason.
Worst of the night: Heejun, Shannon and Deandre, although by all rights Deandre shouldn't be there. He just did what the coaches told him to, and it didn't work out. Please send Shannon "Migraine" or Heejun home.

Top 12\\\11 - Birth Year Songsw/ Will.i.am We already knew that Jermaine was disqualified for having a criminal record, and apparently he has 4 outstanding warrants against him; two for falsifying his name to law enforcement, and at least another for fighting. Whatever. A wasted spot even before this info. IMHO:
B+ Joshua (1992) "When a Man Loves a Woman"
B+ Colton (1991) "Broken Heart"
B+ Hollie (1993) "The Power of Love"
B+ Jessica (1995) "Turn the Beat Around"
B Shannon (1995) "One Sweet Day"
B Skylar (1994) "Love Sneaking Up On You"
B Philip (1990) "Hard to Handle"
B Deandre (1994) "Endless Love"
C- Erika (1985) "Heaven"
D+ Heejun (1989) "Right Here Waiting"
PHILIP was pretty good, Karaoke+. R: Good song choice; J: Great, loved it; S: Watch melody, keep it up JESSICA is ready now, and just 16?!! Some pitch issues, but good. S: Don't stray too far from ballads; J: Lagged, lost rhythm, good job; R: Song choice an issue HEEJUN was too breathy, not very good. R: Pitchy, wrong song, didn't enjoy it; J: Struggling, felt it at the end; S: Breathy, special vocals anyway ELISE was better, but problematic. S: Love your voice; J: That was right, beautiful; R: Dope, Elise is back DEANDRE wasn't perfect, but still like him. J: Can sing anything, not right song; S: Not right song, you'll find it; R: Boring/safe at wrong time SHANNON could've been worse, kinda Zzzz. J: Beautiful job, great; S: Beautiful, good job; R: Mad potential, Yo! COLTON was great. J: Really really well, look pretty; S: Wrong song, raspberries [?!!]; R: Song didn't matter, dope, consistent ERIKA was bad karaoke. S: Too busy; J: Left us wanting more; R: Kinda liked it, 8/10, just sing it [Here they explained Jermaine's absence] SKYLAR was competent. S: Beautiful; J: Really killed that; R: You rocked it JOSHUA I loved, but totally believable? R: Phenomenal; J: Best thing I've seen on AI; S: Good came thru your eyes [huh??!] HOLLIE had good control but a tiny bit Zzzz. J: You and Joshua best for last, beautiful; S: Beautiful, pitch here and there; R: Blew it out of the box -- Ryan asked the judges who was safest and in trouble: R: Safest: Joshua; Trouble: Heejun J: Safest: Joshua, Hollie, Philip; Trouble: Let America decide S: Safest: Joshua, Skylar, Philip; Trouble: Let America decide -- My Bottom 3 are Heejun, Erika, and Elise As to who goes home? Well, in the past no one went home when there was a scandal, so my guess is... no one goes home, but they get warned. But Heejun should go, having two bad ones in a row.

Top 10 - Billy Joelw/ Diddy, and Tommy Hilfiger Mostly the same this week, with some surprises...
A- Colton "Piano Man"
B+ Jessica "Everybody Has a Dream"
B Erika "New York State of Mind"
B Elise "Vienna"
B- Hollie "Honesty"
B- DeAndre "Only the Good Die Young"
C+ Philip "Moving Out"
C+ Skylar "Shameless"
C Joshua "She's Got a Way"
D Heejun "My Life"
DeAndre was okay, slightly Zzz/karaoke, with too much vibrato. S: Too happy?: J: Good job, nice mix; R: Nothing special, good not great Erika was good, and pretty convincing. R: Love vocals, beautiful; J: Beautiful, let loose more; S: Outstanding Joshua should've been better, awkward in spots, gospel-ly. J: Sing so crazy, connect more; S: Made it come to life [he never heard the song before?! BS!]; R: Made it your own Skylar was a bit shaky, but I've liked her. R: Pitchy in beginning, then pretty good; J: Fearless; S: Good Elise I kinda liked for once, a bit screamy. S: Fantastic, brilliant; J: Happy for you, beautiful thing; R: Unbelievable talent, had a moment (during the last run) Philip's stray from melody was sometimes awkward. J: You are who you are, awesome; S: Really good job; R: One of the best renditions of the song ever, brilliant Hollie was pretty good. S: Little pitchy, good; J: Beautiful sound, but gotta nail it; R: Gotta let go, better than that Heejun needs to go already, too accented, let it loose, kinda hokey, mocking karaoke. J: Brought a little fun, vox not exact; S: tongue-tied, take it more serious; R: vocal problems, had good time Jessica has great vox, but too much? S: Thank you; J: Written for you, congrats; R: Have a moment every time out, perfection Colton I love, awesome. J: Goosies head to toe; S: Stunning, great; R: Sensitive, touching, stay individual My B3 this week is Heejun, Joshua (unfortunately), and Skylar (also unfortunately). It's time to say goodbye to the comedian.
