I'm watching this and pausing it as I comment singer after singer, like the judges. :funny:

Von Smith - “You All I Need to Get By” by Marvin Gaye
I think it started our rocky. There's just something that's lacking about him.. probably a likability factor. He started the show well though, like what the judges said.. got into his own league after the start and it was overall a good performance. A wildcard pick for sure, and possibly another top 12 finalists. But i don't think he might be a shoo-in.

Taylor Vaifanua - "If I Got You" by Alicia Keys
It was very bland and like what Simon said, it was forgettable and not an amazing performance.. thus, we can't remember her. No Top 12 chance, no Wildcard chance.

Alex Wagner-Trugman - "That's Why They Call it the Blues"
It was horrible, tasteless and i compare it in the league of Norman Gentle. I had such a hard time getting through it. The yelling was horrible and it was seriously irritating. If neither Tatiana nor Norman make it through.. byebye.

Arianna Afsar - "The Winner Takes it All" by Abba
Pretty sad, a girl with a good voice.. but blew her chance with a boring song choice which she went terribly wrong. Simon said everything right. It was awful.. and i like her when i first saw her.. but somehow i feel she will get a chance in wildcard? For some reason..

Junot Joyner - "Hey There, Delilah" by Plain-White T's
I believe it was a good performance, soothing to hear with his voice. But it got boring somehow in the middle.. very boring. And he missed some notes.. but it was really better than expected, coming from him. But i don't think this performance is somehow in the league of Danny and Adam, but it was smooth and gentle.. but i believe good enough for the top 12.

Kristen McNamara - "Give Me One Reason" by Tracy Chapman
I like her, she's a great singer and i still don't get how she has to fight for her spot in the top 36. Odd song choice, and if she doesn't go through.. i bet she'll be a wildcard pick for sure. But i like her! I hope she gets through! (Biased point from me! LOL!)

Nathaniel Marshall - “I Would Do Anything For Love”
I actually liked the starting, and think he really has a good voice. But it was just a weird song choice for sure.. but i thought it was not as bad as Simon put it? But same with the judges, i really like him. :funny:

Felicia Barton - "No One" by Alicia Keys
Wow, she has got an attitude and a great voice and she sings generally good! It's a pity she didn't hit the first note! But like what Kara said, i think all of us noticed her.. and we enjoyed her song! I think she will be back for wildcard.. and how did she get cut in the first place?

Scott McIntyre - “Mandolin Rain” by Bruce Hornsby
Like i've said, Scott will make it through to the top 12 without any problem. The guys in his group are gonna have a hard time to be the top male votes because i'm pretty sure America will go crazy voting for him. You know, this is what i call singing. When he sang his first note, you hear all the passion, the voice.. and like what Kara said.. he move mountains with his voice. I held back my tears throughout the whole song just listening to him.. and just thought how fair God is.. to give him an amazing touching soulful voice.. who cares if you have a voice bigger than his but it's just techniques. Now, this is what i call SINGING. Amazing, amazing talent. I want to see him play and sing!! And he's also likable and humble!

Kendall Beard - "This One's For the Girls" by Martina McBride
Bubbly personality, great and fun character, pretty girl. I think she sings okay, but it's just a forgettable performance. However, i think she'll make a good recording artist.

Jorge Nunez - "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" by Elton John
WOW. Good vocals. Good good vocals. Love it. I hope he gets into the top 12 (Wildcard or votes tomorrow) and i don't even care about the accent. It's great.. the performance is great. VOTE FOR HIM AMERICA! Anyway i LOL when Kara when he's so cute.. and does her little girl thing! :funny:

Lil Rounds - "Be Without You" by Mary J. Blige

--- Quote ---Then on Thursday, March 5, Fox will air a special "Wild Card" performance episode that will feature each semifinalist group's highest remaining votegetter who didn't already get to automatically advance to the finals will get a second chance to perform along with several additional semifinalists that the judges will select.

"They [will be able to] make that fourth show up to probably about nine or ten people, we haven't quite decided yet," Warwick explained.

Many good singers from Group 3!!! Now i understand tory's worries! :funny: (And tory, FELICIA BARTON IS HOT!!)

TexasLady:
I agree, for sure Scott McIntyre and Lil Rounds. I just don't know about the third one to be chosen. I liked Felicia's song she performed it well. I also liked Jorge. I just don't know!

I agree with your wild cards:
 
1. Felicia Barton
2. Kristen McNamara
3. Nathaniel Marshall
4. Junot Joyner
and Jorge if he doesn't make it through tonight. Loved his singing, and why shouldn't he be able to talk with an accent, it's who he is!

To recap the first six through to the final twelve:

Danny Gokey
Alexis Grace
Michael Sarver

Allison Iraheta
Adam Lambert
Kris Allen

4 guys and 2 girls. Will AI want to balance it out with the wildcards?

The guys are definitely strong this season. I'm pretty sure more guys will make it through and will not be surprise that they will be only at most 5 girls in the Top 12. (So different from Season 3).. Season 3 was FLOODED with girls! :funny:

TexasLady:
You're right Joab. The guys are really strong this year and all 4 judges predict a guy to win and I can see why.  :tup:
