Wait, then Jimmy Iovine enters the scene with his entourage -- who are these punks? Immediately, Lauren's group got sent away stat to pick a new song. Oh my god he is now my favorite addition to this show. And I want to know about everyone in his entourage. But here is the thing. It isn't about him as a person, it is that we can see him interact with the contestants and see what they go through and what affects their performance -- more of a journey than talking to them on the set of a Ford car commercial.
Love Tim Halperin and again they love Julie Zorilla but I am not a fan. Watch she makes it to the end. But they were smart to duet together.
Good motown trio of Jerome, Lakisha and Tatynisa -- so much more polished than the group songs on results nights. But still the judges were super tough on them. Kendra and Paul were the countrified version of Blackbird. They should be on Can You Duet because I don't think either can win this solo. They are showing a lot of good performances, are we really losing favorites or contestants we have never seen before?
PLEASE tell me that Ashley Sullivan, aka crybaby, goes after this round. So now the attention stealer is getting married in Vegas and Idol is wasting time on her stupid story. She is going to get married where Britney Spears got married to Jason Alexander and she is happy because Britney is her hero. I am fast forwarding this nonsense.
Love young Thia. Her tone feels fresh and easy. The vocal coach hated them, but Thia impressed the judges even though it wasn't the best.
Scotty, the deep voice country trios with Lauren, my fave, and Denise, someone I have never seen. Weird combo but they showed their personalities. And they didn't get to sing...Yikes, okay good for the favorite to stumble before rising, right?
Robbie Rosen needs a new haircut (bye bye Barry Manilow) but he has nice energy. He and his buddies did a nice job in 1977. Considering Robbie was born in 1995, that is a feat.
Eliminations -- Thia, Robbie, Scotty, Jordan Dorsey, Ashton and Lauren are called up -- all names we know so no brainer that they are all through. Yup. 3 15 year olds in the group.
Funny blonde guy Carson is going home, plus White house intern who we haven't seen in a while. Denise and YEAH ASHLEY SULLIVAN are going home!!!!!! Oh my god, that's mean, but I am so glad she is out. Jacee is through!
So we are down to Top 40 back in Hollywood. I think with all the emphasis on going to Vegas and singing Beatles songs we should have seen more of these performances.
Top 40 going down to Top 24 -- 12 guys and 12 girls. A shot to sing and then a sit down with the judges. Please show us all of them. Here we go.
Naima - big voice, very unique, and good story but I don't think she can be a superstar. That's my two cents. She is in.
Hollie, the young blonde who had cried through her audition but sang Miley Cyrus, The Climb. Great last audition, a little powerhouse in this young girl. Steven tells her no, Jennifer brekas down telling her that she was outvoted and that she should come back in two years because she could win it all. Oh, she breaks my heart. Lakeisha Lewis sent home, Alex Ryan who I don't remember ever seeing going home.
Meanie Clint (okay, I'm overdoing it) is too weird to hit it big. My two cents. He makes it in.
Haley, the big voiced blonde might be a screamer but she has something waiting to be seen. Nice big voice, still need to get to know her. She makes it.
Let's talk about the smooth stylings of Deandre -- extremely good looking young guy, who hasn't been seen much. They judges really believe in him but they let him go. Jennifer is really pushing him to do more. He may have had a Jason Castro thing in him that wouldn't have been enough. I would have liked to see him more.
Paul McDonald with the little voice from Nashville, we didn't see him much. Now he sings an original song. Very original and interesting.
Ashton Jones may be my new favorite -- she did the Jennifer Hudson during the last solo. Final performance was Whitney (oh that scared me about her choices). She is adorable and a powerhouse. She is in. She is a major contender people!!!
Chris Medina -- they invested a lot in his story. And they go back there again. He nails it on the final performance with another modern rock ballad - Fix You by Coldplay. I like his choices. JLo is making it sound like it is a no AND IT IS A NO! WHAT? WHAT? This is retarded. I'm not getting this right now. I don't want his story to outshine his talent, but he was really talented. Right? Ugggh it is so hard in this stage because we don't just see all the performances lined up - we just don't know. JLo has a full on breakdown about having to say no after he leaves. Full on meltdown. Steven says that her saying no was beautiful. He cracks me up.
And now we see the rest tomorrow...I don't know what to think yet! More tomorrow everyone...

I know he was a jerk, but I love Jordan Dorsey :/ his original audition was my favorite of all time with "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."
