Top 24 Results - Episode 3

Tonight, after the first round of competition, American chooses 5 guys and 5 girls. Then the judges pick 6 non-winners to sing for their life, and then each judge chooses one more for a top 13!

First off, thank God for Jimmy Iovine, to put a little Simon Cowell into the show and tell the judges that some of their favorites actually sucked (which I agree)!

Second, America got it mostly right with their top ten.  Phillip, HeeJun, Joshua, and Colton made it.  I wanted Creighton, but I think Colton was a good choice on second thought.  However, Jeremy did not (Jermaine surprisingly took his place).

Hollie,, Skylar, Jessica made it.  No one but me apparently liked Haley and she didn't make it.  Shannon "Crawl" who is disgusting actually made it (AMERICA ARE YOU CRAZY??) and Elise rounded out the  top 5 (I thought maybe she would squeak in over Martha's Vineyard's Jazzy Jen, who underperformed last night, as did Heart's Patricia Arquette Erika.

So with the top ten decided...6 non-winners were chosen to sing...first up:

Jen - This Mitt Romney-like upper crust snob did a great job singing...but honestly, I kind of think her time might be up...we will have to see her competition.

Jeremy - This guy should have made it in the top ten, and did a great job with a Carrie Underwood song.  Hopefully the judges will get it right and choose him.

Brielle - Are you kidding me?  This obnoxious Long Island girl with a crazy mom wailed through an Adele song (STOP DOING ADELE YOU IDIOTS) and she will not make it.

Deandre - This QUEEN was shocked he didn't make it...even to the point where he got mad attitude and sashayed off and flipped his hair into a ponytail.  Then he screached through a song which the judges like and I couldn't stand.  He might make it...but maybe not.  I'm hoping not.

Erika - The Edge of Glory DJ did another horrible job.  She is not going to make it with this bad singing.  Unless the judges get it wrong.

Reed - pretty boring, but an okay singer/performer.

My choice is Jeremy, Jeremy, and Jeremy.  But if I had to choose two different people, I would choose Jen and Reed.

Judges THREE are Erika (WHAT?!), Jeremy (YES!!!), and...Deandre (well, I guess we know who will most likely be going home next week...)

Next Week Mary J. Blige will coach Stevie Wonder/Whitney Houston songs...should be interesting or boring.
