Question..do you recall, from previous AI season, what percentage of the top 24 were actually featured on the early selectio shows...IOW, is it the kiss of death? I know Carrie Underwood got a big time slot for her audition..but is that typical?
I think they give a few people who they have high hopes for a lot of time. Then there are a few people who are kind of dark-horses who we don't see until the top 24. I don't think we saw much of Bo Bice. I do remember seeing Chris Daughtry featured. It's probably 60/40.
A few seasons ago, nearly every person who was featured was cut. I remember Jonny's opening for the top 24 was something like, "Welcome to the top 24. Who are these people?" LMAO
