We see footage of her during the Hollywood round. She had a rough time.
She isn't forced to sing.
Randy welcomes her into the Top 36.
The same goes for Jasmine, Casey Carlson, Stevie Wright and a lot of cookie-cutter girls that I can't tell apart.
From what we've seen so far, which admittedly isn't much, there are some outstanding guy singers this year. The girls so far don't appear to be in the same league with some of the guys.
It looks like the semi-finals are going to be different this year.
Idol will be on two nights each week, instead of three.
And it looks like there won't be a girl's night/boy's night either.
During the next three Tuesday shows, a co-ed group of 12 will perform during a two hour show.
Then Wednesday night will be the results show.
NINE of the singers out of that group will be cut. Three will survive and (I guess) won't have to perform again until the Top 12. That seems dumb, if I'm reading it correctly.
