Some performed brilliantly, some were disappointing ... so who will be out later today?There is another twist today when Simon announced that there will be 2 contestants instead of 1 who will be out. That certainly made everyone more nervous than they already are! So now I can choose 2 out of 13 which makes my chances of getting one correct higher heh. In order to predict who will go out, I will split the top 13 into 2 groups, the "Safe" ones and the "In danger" ones. Just in case you don't what the two terms mean (as if), let me explain. The "Safe" one are those whom I think will definitely come back next week. The "In Danger" ones are those who stand a high chance of going home today. So which of the contestants are in my "Safe" and "In Danger" groups?
The Safe Group (In alphabetical order)
1) Adam Lambert - With a reaction like that, how can he be out? I don't care if he is gay or not, he is really good and is definitely one of my favorites.
2) Allison Iraheta - Another solid performance from her. I like the going to the break arm wrestling thingy she and Kris Allen did, that alone will ensure a safe passage for the both of them heh.
3) Danny Gokey - He is back! Much better performance than his previous one. A little PR work is done by focusing on his family and friends instead of his wife. Having lots of kids in the clip is a good thing lol.
4) Kris Allen - Reason mentioned in Allison's part. Agreed with what Simon said that he mentioned his wife too early heh. I wonder how his wife felt when Simon said that! That will certainly break lots of girls' heart, but he should still get enough votes to go through with his adorable sexiness.
5) Lil Rounds - Same as Allison, another solid performance. She will definitely be in the top 4 at least.
6) Matt Giraud - Finally played his piano and gave a great performance.
7) Megan Joy - Her cute dance alone will get her enough votes to get through.
8) Scott Macintyre - Like Matt he was better with a piano. Will last a few more weeks I think.
The In Danger Group
1) Alexis Grace - Singing last can be a double edge sword. If you have performed badly everyone will remember not to vote for you.
2) Anoop Desai - Didn't like him then don't like him now.
3) Jasmine Murray - A shaky performance from the sweet looking girl.
4) Jorge Nunez -A boring performance which made me pick up my newspaper to read while he was singing.
5) Michael Sarver - He was lucky in the group stage, I don't think he will be that lucky now.
So how will I choose the 2 from the 5 in the "In Danger" group? I will base my choice on the number of itunes reviews they have! The more number of reviews should mean they have more supporters! If they are willing to write reviews for their songs this means they have noticed them and bothered to comment, which might lead to them voting.
So based on the itunes reviews the 2 contestants with the lowest number of reviews and I predict will go home are Jorge Nunez and sadly Jasmine Murray. I will be having another post on the "itunes reviews ranking list" soon. I wonder what twist will be announced later? Judges playing a part in who stays and who goes? So many twists it's turning into survivor!
