Pretty much, lol. I don’t mind it so much in this round, but I think the Top 12 should get a proper results show. I mean, is FOX’s schedule so jam-packed with goodness that they can’t spare a half-hour?

This is why I love this thread. Can’t go to bed sad on weds nights! “Jam packed with goodness” - Rofl!!

Loren Lott

When Seacrest calls her name, she bolts to the stage, leaving her BFFs in the dust. Sings a Michael Jackson song I never heard of. "I Wanna Be There." It's okay.

Jlo : I really enjoyed that. You made me smile. You really have something. An innate talent.

Harry : There's been a high, high bar set so far. I believe you may have nudged that bar up a little bit higher.

Keith : This Motown catalog is like the luckiest thing for everyone, for you , for us.

She might want to dial down the happy. Looks like she's rubbing it in a little.

Maddie Walker

To everyone's surprise--including herself--Blonde Maddie is called to the stage. She sings "I'll Be There".

Harry : You deserve to be here. (hair splits her technique)

Keith : Good choice for you. There's some runs in that song that you didn't do, and you shouldn't.

Jlo : Really difficult song to sing, but still did a really good job.

Maddie confesses this is her first time singing Motown ever. The hell you say.

“That was great!” (whispers) “Who was that old black lady?”

Joey Cook

No Top 12 would be complete without at least one girl with weird colored hair. She sings a jazzy version of "You Better Shop Around." No accordion. It's okay.

Keith : You make it your own. I'm so looking forward to seeing and hearing what you do.

Jlo : So unique. So beautiful to see someone show that much emotion. Giving to the audience.

Harry: Love the artistry too. I wonder if people will start to tire of that hyper stylization.
