Hi, FD!

Shorter commercial breaks tonight.

Next is Lacey Brown. She made it this far last year, but lost her place in the semi-finals to Megan "Caw-Caw" Joy.

Simon: Right decision or wrong decision.

Lacey: I think it was the right decision. I needed to wait a year.

But she makes it this year. Lacey is in.

A fast montage of other winners--didn't catch their names. Two guys and one girl.

13 spots in the Top 24 have been filled.

Crystal Bowersox, the hippie, folk singing, granola mom.

Simon: Crystal we were all in agreement in this decision. And the decision is ... you're in the Top 24.

Crystal shows the judges a picture of her son.

Randy: A'ight, Momma-sox!
