Unfortunately there was no recap last night, as I was celebrating Maggie’s birthday (which apparently is more important that blogging about Idol), then watching the end of Carmelo’s debut and the Terps big win over FSU.
But before tonight’s revealing of the rest of the Top 24, here’s a recap of last night’s two hour show.
– 61 contestants remain, put in groups of 2 or 3, singing Beatles songs in Las Vegas. Very happy to finally see Idol show this portion finally. Usually it goes from after Group Week when they put the contestants in 4 rooms straight to announcing the top 24.
– Good to see Lauren Alaina finally showing some nerves, was afraid she’d get too arrogant.
– My favorite moment (even though it involved my least favorite contestant) was when Ashley Sullivan got married, because it was at the The Little White Wedding Chapel Of Love, the exact same place Maggie and I got married four-plus years ago! I’m a little disappointed that Ashley didn’t opt for the drive-thru wedding like we did.
– Paul McDonald, Tim Halperin and Pia Toscano might have sounded the best doing the Beatles. Was a little disappointed with Chris Medina and Casey Abrams duet, didn’t really mesh well.
– Sad to see Sophia Shorai get cut after her performance. Probably her own fault for partnering with Ashley Sullivan.
– Thia Megia may have an incredible voice, but I think it’s confirming that 15 is too young of an age minimum for this show; she looks like a frightened puppy out there.
– They need to cut Scotty McCreery already, he’s a one-note low pony, plus John Wayne Schulz should be this year’s resident cowboy. Also if Rachel Zevita makes it thru to the Top 24, I may boycott.
– Not making the cut after Beatles performances include Ashley Sullivan, Molly DeWolf, Carson Higgins, Caleb Hawley, Denise Jackson and Melinda Ademi. Not sad about any of those cuts.
