I thought they ended up with a pretty good demographic mix that represents the American population.

The wild cards picks won’t go far, though, as they were mostly chosen in a sympathy move by the judges, which reflected their own ethnic preferences. One Hispanic; one black; and one multi-ethnic.

you know, you could of had another josh groban and charlotte church in the mix,up against two average black&hispanic girls.and lets say they already picked 12 white singers,and needed to add two wild card picks(like tonight),,what do u think the judges would have done?

Sort of like affirmative action and not talent?
