American Idol: Wildcard Results

Great ... even when I guessed blindly I got 2 out of 3 correct! Actually it should be 2 out of 4 since they "decided" last minute that it would be the top 13 instead of the top 12. I thought they would choose the contestants based on their performance, but I think they went with who they liked. The performance was just for show. Although I like Jasmine Murray, I did not think she sang well but lucky for her she got through based on her personality and cuteness I think. Matt sang well and deserved the spot, when it was between him and Anoop, I was afraid he would be out but luckily they like Matt. Can't wait to hear him sing while playing the piano! I guess we will see more of Megan Joy Cockrey and her interesting dance too heh. I wonder whats the hype with Anoop, did not think he sang that well, I think it must have something to do with Slumdog Millionaire winning the Oscars. I thought Jesse Langseth would be a better pick to go through.

Tatiana performed great again but this time she switched to her irritating personality again which killed her chances of going through. Okay I admit, even I am getting irritated with her and am sort of relieved she is not through.

So now we have the top 13 instead of the top 12. Most of my favorites are still in the competition. Adam Lambert, Matt Giraud and Jasmine Murray do your best! I'm kind of sitting on the fence on Danny Gokey at the moment, have been influenced by the cynical people on some websites and forums saying how he makes use of his dead wife to gain votes. Didn't realize this till I read those stuff but I feel that it might be true. It might be unintentional, cause the death happened quite recently and he still misses her a lot. But if he shows or mentions her again in the top 13 without anyone asking, he will definitely be in my hate list. I'm going to add one person to my favorite and she is Allsion Iraheta. I don't know why, but these few days her performance last week has been playing in my head and I unintentionally start singing the song Alone lol. I'm so going to get an itunes gift card soon so that I can download their performance.

Next week, it will be though to predict since now I can only choose 1 out of 13. Its like horse racing, at first I could choose the placing (top 3) but now I can only choose the winning horse. The odds are definitely narrowed down here. Can't wait to see everyone perform next week!
