Recap:

After initially eliminating Melanie Amaro, Simon Cowell has a change of heart and flies to Miami to meet her. He tells her and her family that she has made it to the live shows after all. We have a Top 17 next Tuesday with Simon having 5 contestants. How many will be eliminated, we don't know. The show is LIVE next Tuesday! Will there be a viewer vote or just the judges?
