CarmenSandiego

Warren did a pretty good version of that song last year. I’m wondering who will do “Skyfall”, if anybody. We did my favorite cover of that song.

This might be a problem for some of the singers. Abi, Julia and McKenna will probably be fine and so would Nya and Jayna if they got that far (which they probably won’t), but the other girls will struggle and I can only see Odell doing well for the guys if he gets that far.

Thanks for sharing your story, Caitlyn. I hope that you continue to heal and that your abuser gets what he deserves. While I would not have voted for Will even had he not turned a blind eye, this gives me more incentive not to vote for him and to hope that karma comes for him in the form of losing American Idol.

I hope that it’ll be no later than sometime tomorrow, so that I can begin working on my first analysis of why the four contestants that failed to make the Top 20 were eliminated. But I’ll have to avoid revealing who was eliminated in the titles of those four analyses until after the Top 20 reveal.

Welcome, Cjc. I’m so sorry about what happened to you. I agree that a separate thread should be made about this situation.

Thanks for telling me that.

As a strong Christian myself, I would rather have a gay relative than a child predator one. Jesus would undoubtedly compare people who would rather have child predator relatives than gay ones to the Pharisees and teachers of the Law of his day who criticized his teachings (note: not all Pharisees or teachers of the Law were this way). Is that good news or bad news? If it's good and it involves Abi, I'm fine. If it isn't good news -- I hope that it doesn't involve Abi.

I already said who my favorite was, but now I'm going to do all of the twelve in this group based on how I personally liked their performances: 1. Abi -- she sang beautifully. 2. McKenna -- I liked her performance. 3. Nya -- she should have no problems in moving on. 4. Julia -- she needs to work on her performance skills but I still like her. 5. Jayna -- I liked her performance more than Hailey's, that's all. 6. Hailey -- she did well but her song choice might not have been the best. 7. Quintavious -- I'm pleasantly surprised that he did well with a Carrie Underwood song. 8. Will -- he did good but I just didn't like it as much. 9. K.B. -- not her best performance but still better than others. 10. Kayko -- good songwriter, not-so-good singer. 11. Jordan -- forgettable. 12. Blake -- deer-in-headlights.

This is based on how I liked the performances, now how well I thought they did. 1. Emmy 2. Ajii 3. Mia 4. Mackenzie 5. Elleigh 6. Roman 7. Odell 8. Triston 9. Kennedy 10. Jack 11. Jennifer 12. K-Blocks

If Will's openly performing with, and thereby supporting, a child molester isn't the April surprise that you have for us, I hope that you'll be able to tell us soon what this April surprise is, as I'm very curious. I hope that it doesn't involve Abi.

I’ll be looking at the spoilers later on.

Ugh! Supporting a child molester is despicable, as Daffy Duck would say. I hope that they sabotage him too.

They might split the country vote since even if Emmy isn’t really country some of her fans might be due to her being Loretta Lynn’s granddaughter and Loretta being a country star.

1. Emmy — best of group 2. 2. Ajii — best of the guys in group 2. 3. Mia — lovely performance. 4. Mackenzie — better than Blake and more memorable than Jordan. 5. Roman — a tad over the top but still good. 6. Kennedy — her best performance. 7. Odell — not his best but still good. 8. Triston — he did well but he’s still green. 9. Elleigh — weird song choice but she sang it good enough. 10. Jack — still has weird facial expressions. 11. Jennifer — she was only energetic at the end. 12. K-Blocks — bye-bye.

Group 2 Template Odell Bunton Jr. - Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson (feat. Bruno Mars) - 7. Enjoyable way to start the show. Elleigh Marie - Forget You by Cee-Lo Green - 7. Weird song choice, but surprisingly good. Mackenzie Sol - Jealous by Nick Jonas - 8. Better than Blake and more memorable than Jordan. Not like being better than Blake was hard. Jennifer Jefferies - Bruises by Lewis Capaldi - 6.5. Was only energetic at the end. Emmy Russell - Beautiful Things by Benson Boone - 9. Best of the night. Ajii - Higher by Tems - 8.5. Best male performance. Kennedy Reid - Fancy by Reba McEntire - 7.5. Her best performance. Jack Blocker - Rainbow by Kacey Musgraves - 6.5. Took half a point off for his facial expressions; otherwise, it would’ve been a 7. Roman Collins - How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You) by Marvin Gaye - 7.5. A tad over the top but better than Odell. KBlocks - Harleys In Hawaii by Katy Perry - 5.5. She is just too off-beat. Mia Matthews - Daddy’s Hands by Holly Dunn - 8. Lovely performance. Triston Harper - God’s Country by Blake Shelton - 7. Good performance.

I think that Triston will fall short of the finale and it’ll be Abi, Emmy and Will in the finale. Emmy and Will might split votes there, giving Abi the win. I’d like that.

Abi Carter (can’t you tell?) Emmy Russell McKenna Faith Breinholt Julia Gagnon Jayna Elise

Here’s my prediction after the Top 24 performed: Top Ten: 1. Abi 2. Emmy 3. Jack 4. Julia 5. K.B. 6. Kayko 7. Mackenzie 8. McKenna 9. Triston 10. Will Wildcards: 1. Ajii 2. Mia 3. Nya 4. Odell See you at the Top 20: 1. Blake 2. Jayna 3. Jennifer 4. Kennedy 5. Quintavious 6. Roman Bye-bye at the Top 24: 1. Elleigh 2. Hailey () 3. Jordan 4. K-Blocks

Just as well that Chayce would have beaten Caleb. He wasn’t my favorite but I liked him more than Caleb.

So do I. I like Triston but he’s just too inexperienced.

Elleigh and Emmy.

Hailey, Jayna, Julia, Nya, McKenna and of course Abi.

K-Blocks (obviously) and Roman.

Same here.

I agree. K-Blocks is definitely a goner and the second elimination spot is between Elleigh and Roman.
