Tonight was downright awful. Minus a few bright spots in Allison, Kris, and Adam (who by the way, I'm not so "on board" with either. I don't know, something about his appeal just turns me off. I hate people who are too obvious and look pop, if you know what I mean. I'm not one who gravitates towards the popular votes, except I can't deny Danny, I love him) the night was a complete disaster.
What is with people and picking song choices? Matt Girard in particular, I wanted to smack him! Listening to Viva la Vida, you hear that awesome soulful voice, but it's completely out of place! It sounded so... wrong, but with the layers of violin and Coldplay peeled back, you hear that edge. Why didn't he have a go at Stevie Wonder? If anyone could pull if off, he could, he has that voice. That was aggravating.
And I think I have a declared soft spot for Kris. Michael Jackson song wasn't amazing, but I love his voice, and I love how sweet and modest he is, it's nice. Got my eye on him :D

I'm loving Scott. I hope he goes through. I can see myself buying the kind of CD I think he'd make.

Hard to say who stays and who goes. Tonight, I liked Jorge, Scott, Lil, and, man I feel bad I can't remember her name, the girl who got called back, she did a great job. Of the 4, probably the first 3 will go through, but they all did a great job

Isn't Lil a given? From what I've read (I didn't bother with the show last night, it bored me for some reason) she could go out and hum for 90 seconds and she'd still get at least a wild card.

I'm sure the judges would bring her back for the wild card show if she didn't make the cut this time.

Yeah, she has an incredible voice. She could probably take the competition down with her thumb, but it all depends on the moods of the people voting. If anything, she has the biggest/best vocals of anyone in the competition.

Those wildcard choices make me go and find my tin foil hat. Oh grassy knoll, how I missed you.
edited to add that I find it very knollish that the judges pick out who makes the final 12. How do they do that, I mean, they have to pick on the spot or something? What if there is no agreement? I bet they go in knowing who's going through and who's not. Or in other words, who brings the drama and who doesn't.

Just read on TWoP that the next week's theme is Michael Jackson songs. Also mentioned, but not sure which week they are: Motown and Grand Ol' Opry.

They don't really have a "country" singer in the remaining contestants, do they? I'm was a little disappointed in the group they brought back for the Wild Card round. I would've given Kristen and Kendall another chance to make the Top 12.

I still don't get what they see in that blonde girl, I can't remember her name, the one who swings around on stage like she has to go to the bathroom, lol! Seriously, what's the attraction? She's unique? As in, not a spectacular voice therefore different? I don't understand

I think her name is Megan. I'm not feeling the love either.

She's "commercial," meaning she's a good-looking blonde. I guess they have to have one. What a waste of time that wildcard results show was. So obvious from the comments that they had already made the picks.
Was I the only one watching? :(
I was unbelievably unimpressed tonight. No one makes me want to find all the phones in our house and vote like there is no tomorrow.

I caught the last few people. That Adam guy was good and the guy playing the piano after him. That blonde chick who did Rockin' Robin was awful. What was she thinking? That song sucks. Speaking of songs that suck, Dirty Diana is another one.
