Tonight the Top 12 girls had their chance to sing for our votes.
Lovey started things off with vocally weak performance of Love Runs Out. It started out too low and it never got high enough to impress.
Adanna did much better with her powerful version of Rather Be. She has a great voice and she knows how to take command of the stage.
Alexis is nice looking country girl, but other than being a pretty blond Latina, there isn't really anything special about her voice as illustrated by her bland rendition of Gunpowder and Lead.
Joey thinks she is so unique with her blue hair and accordion, and while she delivered a different arrangement of Somebody Like You she still came off as a novelty act with an extremely limited vocal range.
Katherine put the entire audience to sleep with a sad reading of Safe and Sound.
Shannon is way too young and completely lacking in stage presence as evidenced by her forgettable version of Who Knew.
Loren is the kind of finalist who should go far on this kind of show. Her voice is big and capable of hitting all of the notes to dramatic songs like Note To God. She is also exceptionally beautiful.
Shi just doesn't have the kind of voice that I want to hear even once much less week after week or on an entire album. Her Umbrella sounded like strained screaming.
Maddie is a really cute country girl with a very good voice to boot. She served up a very entertaining performance of Love Gets Me Every Time.
Sarina-Joi took Mama Knows Best and knocked it out of the park. It was a strong and dynamic performance is every way.
Jax has a certain artistry that is kinda OK, but it's way too serious. I am wondering if she is capable of being light hearted and humorous and still be entertaining...
Tyanna is a good performer and her version of Lips Are Moving sounded just as good as what is getting played right now on the radio.
Loren and Sarina-Joi are leading neck and neck in this race. Tyanna and Maddie are close behind.
My prediction for the girls to be eliminated this week are Lovey, Alexis, Katherine and Shannon.

The Top 12 Boys Perform
Here we are for another season of American Idol! Tonight the Top 12 Boys performed LIVE for your votes for the very first time. They were able to sing any song of their own choosing to try and win us over.
Alex started things off with a 1980's hair metal comedy routine of I Wanna Rock. While he can sing OK, this just didn't seem like he expects to be taken seriously at all.
Michael was next doing a dreary version of How Am I Supposed To Live Without You. It was so flat and sleep inducing it is just mind boggling why on earth he chose this song. It made his voice sound meek and forgettable.
Savion tried to keep things fresh with his attempt at Hey Soul Sister, but he seemed very overwhelmed by the crowd and lacked focus.
Mark was very true to himself performing the 1970's classic, The Weight, but he didn't bring any special or exceptional to his rendition.
Trevor is a cute young teenager with a lot of energy and personality. He was all over the stage working the crowd while he sang Best I Ever Had, but his voice simply wasn't that good.
Clark was the only guy to actually impress me with his vocals. He was able to belt out When A Man Loves A Woman and he actually showed an impressive command of the stage as well.
Rayvon kept things current with his version of Jealous and since it was just merely good it made you want to go listen to the original rather than want to hear him do anything again.
Daniel is another cute young teenage with more energy and personality than talent. His version of I'm Yours was vocally forgettable.
Riley performed Homeboy and he definitely showed he has more to bring to the table in coming weeks. He clearly is a good musician and singer with some impressive stage presence.
Quentin is also someone to watch. Even though I thought his choice of I Put A Spell On You was kinda boring, his clearly has a vocal range that can hopefully be more interesting in the future.
Nick did a solid copy of Thinking Out Loud. He has the looks and the voice to make it further in the competition.
Qaasim ended the night with a performance of Uptown Funk and while he has the showmanship going for him, he just doesn't have a very good voice. His range is weak and limited and I just wanted him to stop.
Four of the guys are going to get cut after this round. I am hopeful that Clark, Riley and Nick will all be coming back and my prediction is that Alex, Michael, Savion and Mark have all performed for their one and only time.
