American Idol Results Show, Group 3

Tonight’s results show began with the group doing a peppy job singing Katy Perry’s “Hot and Cold.” It looked like the created choreography for it that would accommodate Scott MacIntyre’s sight impairment that allowed him to remain sitting throughout the number. It seems like a sensible solution.

Lil Rounds was the first contestant reviewed and the first one through to the top 12. She was very good last night so it’s no surprise that she’s through. There were so many other good performers that it was to be hard to predict the rest.

I wasn’t shocked, though, when Arianna Afsar, Taylor Vaifanua, Alex Wagner-Trugman, and Kendall Beard were eliminated in short order. Neither was I surprised when Scott MacIntyre was the second one through to the top 12. He deserves it and I’m sure we’ll see him around for quite a while.

Next up were Nathaniel Marshall and Kristen McNamara and they were both the next ones down. No surprises there.

The Felicia Barton and Von Smith were both up and both of these guys were singers that I really enjoyed last night. So I was disappointed that neither of them were chosen, but that left Ju’not Joyner and Jorge Nuñez, so this was a hard two to decide between as well. I was happy that Jorge Nuñez made it through.

That leaves the Wild Card show tomorrow (Thursday) where only 8 will be performing for the final 3 spots on the final 12. There are a few that I really like so I’m looking forward to this coming show. The Wild Cards are:

• Von Smith
  
• Jasmine Murray
  
• Ricky Braddy
  
• Megan Joy Corkrey
  
• Tatiana Del Toro (oh, brother.)
  
• Matt Giraud
  
• Jesse Langseth
  
• Anoop Desai
  

Well, dang. There are a few that I was hoping would be on this show that aren’t there. Oh well, hopefully those who were picked will make better choices.
