Tonight on American Idol they introduced a new twist to the competition. Probably in response to the times when contestants like Jennifer Hudson are eliminated, much to the surprise of the judges. Now the judges are given one opportunity this season to save a contestant from elimination. Since they can only do it only once per season, it’ll be interesting to see who they decide to save.
Well, I couldn’t have been more wrong about my predictions. I didn’t think that Megan Joy Corkery or Anoop Desai (two of my personal favorites) had a chance of staying in the competition, but they were both safe from elimination this week. Instead, I was surprised that Jasmine Murray and Jorge Nuñez were sent packing.
I can’t say that I’m upset by the results. As I’ve said before, this is an extremely strong group of contestants. While I have my own personal favorites, there are are only a couple that I can’t imagine winning the whole competition.
So next week we’ll be hearing from Adam Lambert, Alexis Grace, Allison Iraheta, Anoop Desai, Danny Gokey, Kris Allen, Lil Rounds, Matt Giraud, Megan Joy Corkrey, Michael Sarver, and Scott Macintyre. My favorites are Alexis, Allison and Scott. Who are your favorites? Who do you think will be heading home next week?
