Top 13.

Anoop is IN.

Who called it? LoL
If that's the twist I CALLED IT! Or at least was closest! And I don't even watch the show! LOL

It was funny how Ryan told Simon to shut up during the intro :laugh: .

Paula is back to being annoying again. Just get the words out, Paula! Damn...

Jesse was ok. Don't know if that was enough but with the judges who knows. I love her personality though. I disagree with Simon though. That song is a "me" song. It's supposed to be sexy. It was a much better choice of song for her and it suited her. Much better performance then her last.

Matt was great. This is his vibe. Great choice of song and much better then his last performance. Again, though, who the FUCK cares what he is wearing, Simon?! I'm so sick of the image comments. Let these people be who they are. That is what the judges have said they want, that is when they don't contradict themselves. They want to know who these people are.

Megan was ok. Good choice of song. This is her vibe too. They just practically gave away her going through though. Simon is in love with her and Randy and Kara loved her too. I will say she is different and unique and we do need some diversity musically so I can see putting her through.

Von was ok but I do agree he is getting way too serious. It's sad because he probably should've gotten through last night instead of Scott. Tuesday night he performed much better and was more in his zone. I was shocked because Paula actually came up with a good point tonight in a night where she seems like classic, all over the place Paula. She said Von is thinking too much about the notes and I agree. He didn't do it Tuesday but he did today and it caused the early part of the song to be a bit too pitchy. The second part was great with the chorus and high notes.but before that..eh.

Jasmine surprised me. This is the kind of song I wanted that Arianna girl to sing Tuesday. I didn't think Jasmine had that good of a voice but she did. Not bad and good choice of song. She validated the judges bringing her back, I have to laugh at how Kara got confused by her having a big voice. Seriously, if you don't know what kind of voice she has by now, we're in trouble with these judges LOL. They've seen more of her then us thus far. I also hate all this judge interplay with them all arguing their points amongst each other and Paula tugging on Simon's arm and arguing with him. I mean, it's cute at times, especially Paula and Simon's fighting, but on a night with so little time, cut the crap. Really. Save this shit for top 12 when there is more time. This shit is why the past few weeks have gone by so slow. At least tonight flew by but that is because of their not being phone numbers and having two performances back to back in each segment.

Ricky was very good. I like how he did something uptempo. It proved he was different style-wise IMO from Matt. Good job. I disagree with Randy and Simon on this being indulgent. Good job by him

What the hell is up with Tatiana? Her accent is back and she's jumping up and down and cheering. Kara is right. Does this girl have multiple personalities? I can't believe she sang the same song twice. I hate that. It's lazy. I remember Cook singing something new on the finale last year and taking shit from Simon for it but I like that. Why do something you already did? This was stupid and I'm glad Simon told her off. You could tell he's wanted to do that for awhile. It shut her up finally. Kara seemed pissed too about how emotional she gets. Did anyone catch how she mentioned how Jorge has that thing where he comes out speaking Spanish when he is emotional? Now she says she speaks with the accent when she gets like that. Is she trying to copy Jorge in hopes of getting more support? What the hell? I mean, she sang ok and all but it's the same damn song.

Anoop did what he does. I agree he's different but he had too much of an attitude tonight. That was self-indulgent yet no one called attention to that like Randy and Simon did with Jesse and Ricky. I also wish he picked a different song. It's laziness not to IMO but whatever. He did ok. He's a great performer but he's a bit too self-indulgent and he needs to tone it down a bit. I was also once again unnerved with Simon saying they couldn't just take all the boring singers. This is a SINGING competition. He's said it himself numerous times. You can't go with personality over signing. Otherwise, just end the show.

The show moved nice and quick tonight but man did Paula hold things up. I want the Paula from Tuesday night. Quick and to the point. The show moved much faster though without phone numbers and some of the other BS. Maybe the judges should keep making selections LOL.

Those little clips of the singers being thankful for a second chance were stupid. Waste of a few seconds LOL.

I think that was more of a transition between performers. Got the other person on stage while the other one went to sit on the couch.

A mess it is! A hot mess at that!

I'm reading that next week's theme is Kanye West, LoL.

I don't get it. I really just don't get it.

They told Megan and Anoop that they didn't have the best vocals, but the vocals don't matter because they're full of personality. Then they go on to slam Von's vocals (which are suddenly so important) despite the fact that he has plenty of personality. Speaking of personality, since when isn't Tatiana FULL of it? Plus she can sing! Double standards galore.

Then there's the way they bashed Tatiana for repeating a song while actually praising Anoop for doing the exact same thing. Even so, Anoop's performance wasn't that good. It wasn't. I like the guy, but it wasn't that good. Oh, but I forgot... vocals don't matter this year. It's all about personality! Except when it comes to people like Von and Tatiana.

Then there's poor Ricky who can outsing pretty much every other person on the stage who's just been screwed six ways from Sunday. Fact is, he should've gotten through in Week 1 instead of Michael Sarver.

I hate this show, LoL.

The THEME is Kanye West? I heard Ryan say he would be on next week (Kelly Clarkson too), but I figured he would just perform or something. I don't see them doing a hip hop week, it isn't even singing.

I don't think Jasmine should have been put through. I figured Megan would be through and Anoop since Simon said congratulations to him whe he was done singing. I think I would have preferred Von over Matt, but I am ok with Matt going through.

Okay, here's Simon telling Anoop that he'll probably make it through even though he wasn't the best singer tonight, simply because he has personality.

Umm... what about Tatiana? She might not be the best singer (although she's QUITE good) but she has loads of personality.

The double standards are driving me crazy!

Oh, and just as I predicted, the judges haven't even come close to ripping him for repeating a song the way they ripped Tatiana. In fact, Paula's PRAISING his decision.
Tell me about it! I knew that would happen though once I saw what Anoop was singing. In a way, I can see why they didn't complain since Anoop did that in Hollywood. Tatiana did that song twice during the live shows so it's a bit different IMO

It's so annoying all the contradictions and double standards..

LMAO at Ryan telling Tatiana to stay on the floor.

I'm glad they took Jasmine and Megan. Jasmine proved herself to me tonight. Megan is different and needed. At least Megan bothered to comfort Tatiana unlike Danny a few weeks ago. I was glad Paula tried to comfort her too. It was funny when she said Tatiana would make a good actress.

I had a feeling the minute it came down to Matt and Anoop that they would go top 13. To whoever called it, good job! I never thought of that idea until I saw them both standing there and said there is no way they are letting both go. They minute Ricky was gone, Matt had to go through, especially after his performance tonight. And Anoop is unique and they all seem to like him. I was bugged a bit by Anoop tonight, as I said, but I'm glad they took him. He's different and Matt is great.

Sad for Von and Ricky. Von screwed himself out of a spot tonight IMO. Poor Ricky. Paula was really the only one in his corner. He never got airtime. They practically shoved him aside last night and tonight. He was always an afterthought. Hope he finds something. I was shocked Simon mentioned Jesse nearly getting through. I bet Jasmine knocked her out. Simon did not seem behind the Jasmine decision but his hint to Jesse suggested maybe he wanted her. I think they wanted two girls to go through anyway. I can see why. We need some variety and we don't need too many guys with similar styles. Jesse handled it well. I think the fact they wanted two girls is why they went with the top 13 so they could still put through at least one of the other guys they favored.

I'm not entirely sure the top 13 idea was planned. I think when they mentioned the surprise they had a few ideas where they were going to go and they settled on this recently because the judges had trouble deciding with so much talent there so I'm going to give Simon the benefit of the doubt on it being a recent decision. So, what happens now? Double elimination? This will be interesting. Can't wait for Kelly next week but why is Kanye West going to be on? He's not a mentor next week is he? That should be interesting LOL.

All in all, not a bad top 12. I think they improved it vastly tonight. My favorites to win are Danny, Lil Rounds, and Alison. There is just something Alison...I have this feeling she will sneak up on people like Jordin and David Cook did in the past two years. We'll see.

This season isn't exciting me that much at all.....

It's like they went from picking people with talent last year, to this season they just fucked with everything and we ended up with these hot mess results.

Maybe they should have capped this show after last season.

It's sad. It really is. They've been doing this for years and it's only gotten worse and Kara buys into it too. I mean, is it so hard to be consistent? Damn...

I'm glad Tatiana didn't go through. I mean, she has personality and is entertaining as hell but I have a feeling she would cause more harm then good. Plus, she was beginning to disturb me. She's like a different girl everytime we see her.

So, are they singing Kanye West songs? Hip-Hop songs? How the hell will that work? I would prefer a Kelly Clarkson week. I figured she would perform with her album coming out next week.

I agree about Alison sneaking in there. She seems like someone who's not that noticed early on but somehow gets to the end. It's usually the case with AI.

Kelly came out of nowhere in S1. I don't exactly think Ruben was the major favorite in S2 (Clay was). Fantasia and Diana were pretty close in S3. S4 was a toss up but I felt for a while it was Carrie's to lose. S5 was a hot mess. I choose to ignore it. S6, Jordin came from behind for sure and S7, I don't think David Cook was always the frontrunner.

And Kanye West as a mentor? OMG I hope not! But it would fit with this season: a HOT MESS.

I don't think they should end the show but they have to get their priorities straight again. They took so much air out of the last 3 weeks with all the judges arguing back and forth and all the focus on who these people are and all the talking. Bring the focus back to the performances. All this focus on personality and image, which has always been there but not like this, is annoying. It's like they are trying too hard not to be boring.

Last season was not boring and I hate that Simon felt it was just because he was. It's not about personality. It's about talent. It's about singing and performing. They've lost that so far this year and that is why this season has been so sub-par so far. Hopefully, now that we are at the top 13, it will improve. If not, then it will be just like season 3 or 5 for me. I hated those years LOL.

I guess the whole top 13 thing is fitting given how they expanded from top 24 to 36 and all. It's one of those "revolutionary" years LOL.

I think Tatiana is too emotionally fucked up to be on this show. I don't think she would be able to handle it. They all even made sure to say really nice things to her after they told her she didn't make it. I think she could go off the deep end real easy.
