Well, tonight’s the night we found out who the second group of 3 will get to proceed into the finals on Fox’s American Idol. After 25 million people voted, here are the results:
The show began with the group performing “Closer” by Ne-Yo. They did a really good job, but for some reason I kept watching Nick “Norman Gentle” Mitchell and it looked like he was lost—as if he hadn’t attended any of the rehearsals… weird.
The first contestants to receive the results were Allison Iraheta, Jesse Langseth and Matt Breitzke. It doesn’t really come as a surprise that Allison Iraheta would be the one out of these three into the top twelve.
Between Kris Allen, Megan Joy Corkrey, Matt Giraud, and Jeanine Vailes I was hoping that the next finalist into the 12 would be Megan but I did actually enjoy Kris Allen’s performance too, so when he made it through to the top 12, I can’t say I was disappointed. I am expecting Megan to be one of the Wild Cards in two weeks.
Brook White came on at ‘half time’ to perform her newly released single, “Hold Up My Heart.” I actually think Brooke White is a former American Idol contestant that I could continue to follow. Nice song.
The last of the final 12 finalists were Mishavonna Henson, Kai Kalama, Nick Mitchell, Adam Lambert, and Jasmine. It was no surprise to me that they ejected Mishavonna, Kai and Jasimine Murray straightaway and left us with Nick and Adam for the climax of the show. Neither of these knocked my socks off, but I was happy that Adam Lambert made it through because I don’t really think that this is the right venue for “Norman Gentle.” I’m sure we’ll see him around though.
That’s it for this week on American Idol. While there are some very good performers, I haven’t found any that I’ve clicked with as well as I did with some of last season. Who knows, maybe my American Idol match will be in next week’s group.
