The judges select 6 contestants to sing again for 3 Wild Card slots.(Jason takes over the live blog from here)
1. Jen is the first pick to sing again!! She's singing "Oh Darling." She's pouring her heart into this. I really loved her during Hollywood week. Come on, girl! She nailed that last note. It might have been a bad song choice, though. She shouldn't pick songs for herself ever again. However, she deserves a spot. Judges, don't be fools. Check out her performance HERE.
2. Jeremy is up! I could go either way with him. He's singing "I Know You Won't" by Carrie Underwood. He sang this during the Vegas rounds. J.Lo is tearing up. Carrie should be banned from contestants to choose from. He's vocals are pretty good. He rocks that last note. He starts to cry at the end. Aww. Hugs. Check out his performance HERE.
3. Brielle is up! Whoa. I did not expect her to get a chance. Maybe they are just playing with her. Who knows. She's singing "Someone Like You" by Adele. OMG NO. Did you not hear what Jimmy said? Ugh. Only Elise can do Adele any amount of justice. She is pouring it all out there, I give her that. I swear, if they give this girl a spot. I will...do something bad. Just saying. The judges hated it. YAY. Check out her full performance HERE.
4. Deandre is next! I saw that coming. He annoys me. NO. He's singing "Georgia on My Mind." Another song that should be banned. I'm so sick of this freaking song. So far, he's staying away from the falsetto and exploring his lower register...until about midway through. It's not so bad when he doesn't fly false-y the whole time. He lays ridiculous vocal runs all over the place as usual. Meh. The crowd seems to love him. Check out his full performance HERE.
5. Let's go Erika! Come on, girl! She can do this! She's singing "Edge of Glory" by Lady Gaga. Oh. Interesting. This will prove she can be current. She's really nailing this. I love this girl. I love her tone. Parts of this weren't perfect, but I think she did enough to get a spot. Let's hope the judges aren't complete morons. Wow. I just got chills. Check out her full performance HERE.
6. Reed is up! I figure as much. He's so weird. He's taking off his button up shirt. He's singing "Use Me" by Bill Withers. Eh. He's shimmying across the stage. Whatever. If they waste a spot on him...Check out his full performance HERE.
OMG. Here we go. Each judge gets to pick someone to make a Top 13.
The wildcard picks are:
Randy picks............ERIKA!!! HECK. YES.
J.Lo picks............JEREMY!!! I KNEW IT!
Steven picks............DEANDRE!!! OMG OMG OMG!!!
Are you kidding me? They didn't pick Jen? UGH. It looks like another guy is gonna win. This show is so dumb.
We now have a Top 13. I'm most excited about Jessica, Elise, Hollie, Skylar, and Colton. The rest. Eh. Did your favorite make it?
