I’m putting together a top 24 pic for eliminations, if that is ok.

That's absolutely fine with me :) Actually it would be a big help because I haven't had time to do it.

Garrett Jacobs

He sings something ... I don't know. Even the judges don't seem particularly interested. A high note made Luke wince.

What is Katy Perry wearing? It looks like a cross between a shower curtain and one of Hillary's "I need help getting down these steps" pantsuits.

Lionel:There's a point in your life when you have to concentrate on singing. This wasn't it.

The judges are actually being critical?

Luke: You're not the best singer on stage, but you're such a dadgum heart-throb. Just try to accelerate and get the vocals knocked out.

Katy: You are fun to watch and fun to see grow. Taking he advice to heart. Let it flow. Stop thinking about. Little bit rocky road, need to be smooth and classy.

Maddie Poppe

This is great! She sings "Brand New Key" by Melanie. I'm actually enjoying this.

The judges are all smiles.

Standing Ovation.

Luke: You are here for that moment. All American. Caught me up in your artistry.

Katy: You're so infectious. Feel like you really stick to your guns. I am Maddie Poppe (no matter what).

Lionel: (Says she brought the total package: Look sound and attitude.) Where you are now is the road you need to be on.

Seacrest brings her dad up on stage to embarrass himself. He tries to sing the same song, but he doesn't know the words--which makes him eligible for Top 24 at least.
