I literally have no clue what anyone likes lol. I just sent a long list of songs that I didn't care about and Kevin picked 2 of them and that were our cuts.

You act like I ever participated in the actual idol forums and didn't just watch all the performances on Youtube on a couple weeks ago.

Ugh at the River Deep - Mountain High cut. All In Love Is Fair was right there if a Pia performance had to be cut (I love that performance, but I'd rather lose that than RDMH). This is the first season in which my favorite performance didn't make the finals.  The Dancing In The Street cut hurt as well.

 

I'm just about ready to move on to S11 already.

Ugh yeah, agreed the RDMH cut hurts. I was hoping you'd be able to push it through.

 

And this game is kinda strange with the Pia performances for me. I loved them all, but my lesser faves from her seems to be the ones that moved on while my faves haven't.

People tend to majorly miscalculate which performances could survive cuts. And we have the petty cut round coming up lol. Nothing is safe

my rule of thumb is "middle of the road" (not exactly middle of the road, but as far as how they stand in any contestant's run on the show) survives the best, bad performances tend to leave early (really few stick around and they stick out), and the best ones are sacrifices to the god of petty or endgame material, flip a coin

You both make very good points here that are all so true. Oh, the trickiness of this game.

Cutting Pia Toscano "All In Love Is Fair" and Haley Reinhart "Piece Of My Heart"

[Alex95]

12 hours remaining! We still need everything from @rdhaley96 & @Elliott. We also need cuts from @*Wallace and @FrogLenzen & @Steven_

[FrogLenzen]

yes I've been dragging my feet but we will have it in time

[*Wallace]

Gah I keep changing my mind on what to cut.  But deciding..  

 

Cutting:

- Casey Abrams "Have You Ever Seen The Rain?"

- Scotty McCreery "Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not"

[rdhaley96]

Cuts:

Lauren Alaina "Where You Lead"

Scotty McCreery "I Love You This Big"

 

We're still working on our save.

[FrogLenzen]

Cut Lauren Natural Woman and If I Die Young

And our top 20 advancement is Pia's "ISBY." Could be a very enticing petty cut for some people, and I'd rather that not happen. 

 

I'm surprised it wasn't saved yet, to be honest.

[FrogLenzen]

Everyone say a prayer for Thia 

[*Wallace]

Hmm, I think I count 23 vulnerable performances but 25 rankers for the upcoming solo cuts round?

[Alex95]

We had 100 performances. 16 got cut bringing us to 84. Then 12 got cut and 6 got wildcard'd bringing us to 66. Then 26 got cut and 13 got saved which should've brought us to 27. It's not making sense!!!!!!!

[Alex95]

For round five it's the dreaded petty cut round! The first 21 rankers get to cut one performance that isn't highlighted in blue or yellow. Only 21 are getting cut so if you decide to wait till the last second, you might miss your chance to make a petty cut. The two performances that don't get cut will be joining the top 20.

 

@NGM @Crisis @goofycilla90 @Solaris @QueenKalie @Weedy_Speedy @rdhaley96 @Elliott @*Amanda @sublymonal @*Wallace @*Chris @jarmon @Zoey @*Lily @JC @*Diana @hayden98 @JORDAN_FAN @taylorkat @FrogLenzen @Steven_ @totes4totes @1234567890

I’m glad ISBY and HOTRS made it.  
 

Nice to come in here and see the best performances advancing instead of being cut for once.
