Why, America, Why?

I agree with you Mama, Kimberly will be one of the contestants asked back by the judges for the wildcard spot shot.

Theresa, I will explain to you how the show works.  I saw the first one and the way it works is.  The judges were responsible for picking and narrowing the field of contestants to 32.  Now they turn the choosing to the voting audience.  As you saw on the first show for American Idol 2.  They had 8 performances with the judges critiquing them.  But it is up to the public to decide who should go on.  They will do this for 3 more shows where the viewing audience will have picked 8 contestants.  Then the final two spots will be chosen from the wild card show.  Last year the judges picked the singers that they liked (from the group of 30) and gave them one more shot in the wildcard show and then they determined who got the last spot to be part of the final 10.  Last years wild card pick was RJ.  According to what Ryan Seacrest (host) said it looks like in this years wild card show the judges will pick one and so will the viewing public.  I think it is a good idea because sometimes 4 or 5 good singers are lumped together and only two can go on.  Then once the final 10 are chosen, they will perform a different genre of music each week and each week the public will vote for who they like and the contestant with the fewest votes is let go until they get to the winner. 8)
