I think that the best auditions were Cyniah, Jonny, Jovin and Julia. Though Hannah and Sarah were also good.

I think that I considered the Top 20 week and the Top 14 week as the Semifinals, making it two weeks. You may have just considered the Top 14 week as the Semifinals.

1 Jennifer Grey & Derek Hough - "La Cumparsita" (Argentine Tango): 54 Brandy & Maks Chmerkovskiy - "I'll Be There for You" (Quickstep): 7 Brandy & Maks Chmerkovskiy - "Fever" (Foxtrot): 5 Kyle Massey & Lacey Schwimmer - "Good Golly, Miss Molly" (Jive): 33 Brandy & Maks Chmerkovskiy - "Dark Waltz" (Waltz): 13 Jennifer Grey & Derek Hough - "Waiting for a Girl Like You" (Rumba): 12 Brandy & Maks Chmerkovskiy - "Taquito Militar" (Argentine Tango): 63 Jennifer Grey & Derek Hough - "Way Over Yonder" (Waltz): 10 Jennifer Grey & Derek Hough - "Mercy" (Cha-Cha): 12 Kyle Massey & Lacey Schwimmer - "She's Got Me Dancing" (Samba): 11 Jennifer Grey & Derek Hough - "Do You Love Me" (Freestyle): 4 Kyle Massey & Lacey Schwimmer - "Tootsee Roll" (Freestyle): 17 Jennifer Grey & Derek Hough - "Habañera" (Paso Doble): 9 + Jennifer & Derek Argentine Tango - Kyle & Lacey Samba

There’s probably too many singers in the Semifinals for just one week.

2 Jennifer Grey & Derek Hough - "La Cumparsita" (Argentine Tango): 52 Brandy & Maks Chmerkovskiy - "I'll Be There for You" (Quickstep): 8 Brandy & Maks Chmerkovskiy - "Fever" (Foxtrot): 6 Kyle Massey & Lacey Schwimmer - "Good Golly, Miss Molly" (Jive): 31 Brandy & Maks Chmerkovskiy - "Dark Waltz" (Waltz): 13 Jennifer Grey & Derek Hough - "Waiting for a Girl Like You" (Rumba): 12 Brandy & Maks Chmerkovskiy - "Taquito Militar" (Argentine Tango): 62 Jennifer Grey & Derek Hough - "Way Over Yonder" (Waltz): 10 Jennifer Grey & Derek Hough - "Mercy" (Cha-Cha): 12 Kyle Massey & Lacey Schwimmer - "She's Got Me Dancing" (Samba): 12 Jennifer Grey & Derek Hough - "Do You Love Me" (Freestyle): 6 Kyle Massey & Lacey Schwimmer - "Tootsee Roll" (Freestyle): 17 Jennifer Grey & Derek Hough - "Habañera" (Paso Doble): 9 + Jennifer & Derek Argentine Tango - Kyle & Lacey Samba

Agreed. No wonder Francisco failed to make the Top 20!

I hope the new Top 20 succeeds in getting you interested. I enjoy your analyses of the singers.

I hope the guy who does the “Tap Dancing On a Tightrope” returns. I always loved his rankings and usually thought them very good. I’ll also do an analysis of why each singer was eliminated, based on David Bloomberg’s Why American Idol Contestants Lost articles on the old Reality News Online website.
