So....two hours to reveal four are going home. I could do this in five minutes.

Whoa,they tell them before performing?!?

Remember in the old days they could only use backup singers toward the very end and Simon hated they use instruments.

And miss all the drama!? :)

I was checking TVguide (ah internet, it's glad to have you back) to see if maybe next week's results show would be an hour.

And it looks like they're going to combine the performances and results into one 2 hour show next Sunday night--no Monday show--with live voting in all time zones.

But how does that work? Would they allow voting for 10 minutes at the end of the show, like a flash poll?

And if TVguide is right, 3 will be eliminated. Leaving only 7 singers to torture us with.
