Wild, Wild Predictions for the Wild Card Round

So, tonight we get a wild card show. Last night we found out that 8 of our ditched Idols will get a second chance at fame and glory. Each of the judges presented two people who will perform tonight. The following were our lucky idols: 1) Von, 2) Jasmine, 3) Ricky, 4) Megan, 5) Tatianna, 6) Matt, 7) Jessie, and 8) Anoop Dogg.

I agree with Rubbertoe that the judges WILL, if at all possible, put through at least 2 girls. These were some interesting choices. I think that Ju'not and Felecia from week 3 were noticeably absent. It's difficult to pick these before hearing the performances because all we have to go on is the judges previous comments. That being said, I'm going to give you my picks and then talk about who I think could pull an upset.

Based on their prior performances AND the judges previous comments, I think the judges will pick: 1) Megan, 2) Jasmine, and 3) Anoop.

Now, I think a few of our wildcard idols could pull upsets. I believe that Von, screaming not withstanding, has one of the cleanest clearest voices on this year's Idol stage. If he reigns himself in and picks the right song, he just might find himself in the Top 12.

Next, I think we shouldn't count out Jessie with the Bette Davis eyes. Jessie has that smokey, jazzy voice that these judges seem to be leaning towards this season. That being said, I think that if Jessie goes through that Megan will not. They have very simialr sounds and I think that it will be one or the other.

Finally, I think that Matt G. could stumble into the Top 12. He chose to sing Viva La Vida in Week 2. . . and really should have chosen differently. That being said, he has a very

distinctive voice and the judges seem to very much like him.

I have not mentioned Tatianna or Ricky. To be honest, I don't remember anything that Ricky has done, and I just don't think that Simon will allow Tatianna's drama to be injected into the Top 12.

However, this is Idol, and the unexpected sometimes happens. Check back later for more predictions, and a review of tonight's show. Let us know what you think!

Top 36 Round 3: The Not So Shocking Results

Thisgroup is finding out which 3 will make the TOP 12!

Paula thinks that this final group is AMAZING! Paula appears to be a teeny tiny bit loopy tonight.

And now a “how they got here” montage.
Here comes the group number . . . I’ve missed what they are singing . . . Oh yeah, it’s Katie Perry’s “Hot and Cold”. I do love this song, but wow, could this be more, er, um, Kids Incorporated. I REALLY hope Paula is not choreographing these routines. However, as y’all know, I do love a good group number.

And let’s take a look back at last night. . .

Nathaniel has no headband tonight. Jorge is overwhelmed by his chance. Felecia looks cute. Ju’not had an asthma attack. And good luck to all of you.

Here comes decision time . . .
Lil Rounds stands up and is THROUGH TO THE TOP 12!

And back to results . . . Arianna, Taylor, Alex, Kendall, and Scott stand up . . . one of them, duh, is through to the TOP 12! And we’re back . . . Arianna’s NOT in the Top 12. Taylor’s up . . . and she’s NOT in the Top 12. Alex is up, and he is NOT in the Top 12. It is now between Kendall and Scott . . . hmmmm, I wonder . . . after the vote . . . Scott is THROUGH TO THE TOP 12!
Is it just me or is the sound off on the program tonight? Just a question.

So, they’ve put through the two obvious choices . . . and now we’re down to the third position. Who will it be?

Nathaniel and Kristin are up next . . . and clearly they are OUT!

Felecia and Von are standing up . . . without Jorge . . . what does that mean? America voted and they are OUT!

We are down to Jorge and Ju’not . . . one is THROUGH and one is OUT . . . and JORGE IS THROUGH TO THE TOP 12!

And now to the WILD CARD SHOW! NEXT!

There are THREE spaces left . . . who will go through to the Wild Card Round . . . 8 will come back.

Randy’s up first . . . and he’s gonna pick . . . Von Smith! Hooray! Kara’s up next with . . . Jasmine Murray glad she’s back! Paula’s up next with someone from the first round . . . Ricky Braddy! I’m glad they picked him! Simon is up next with a favorite from the audition round . . . Megan! Yay!

So far we have: 1. Von, 2. Jasmine, 3. Ricky, and 4. Megan.
Here comes Randy with our next choice . . . HOLY SHIT! Tatianna. ARE YOU FRACKIN KIDDING ME?!?!?!?!?! ZOMG! Kara’s up next with a bluesy, soulful, Matt! I HEART MATT! Paula’s up next with a last minute change . . . JESSIE and her Bette Davis Eyes! Finally, Cowell’s gonna give the last spot to ANOOP DOGG! HOLLA!

The final list is : 1) Von, 2) Jasmine, 3) Ricky, 4) Megan, 5) Tatianna, 6) Matt, 7) Jessie, and 8) Anoop Dogg

So, we’ve got our Top 9 and our eight wild cards to fill the final three . . . tomorrow our TOP 12 will be complete.
