Thanks.
If we get rid of 5 tomorrow night, that leaves 7. We’ll have a top 14 and maybe, just maybe the remaining men and women won’t be even and that will be a first at this stage.
In earlier versions of Idol did viewer votes only start at the top 14? They’re dumping 5 out of 12 this week and the same next week so only 14 will be “in” the voting.
Looking at the current contestants it looks like the judges have set up various “interest group” candidates (country, rock, R&B, Pop, etc.) including the tranny market before a single vote from America is registered.
For me, I just love seeing raw talent first introduced and then honed and perfected - I do believe they work hard with their candidates but to lose so many promising candidates without an audience vote is disappointing.
Of course, I cannot remember what I had for breakfast yesterday so I could be wrong here. ;-)
