The Top 12 Revealed

Four finalists are going to be eliminated tonight. The Top 10 vote getters from last week will perform first.then the judges will add their wild card choices leaving the remaining four to be sent packing.

Sarina-Joi Crowe was the first to get the good news. She performed Love Runs Out which was good, but didn't really showcase just how exceptional her voice is.

Rayvon Owen sang Wide Awake and truly elevated the lyrics and the vocals to a new level. It was very good.

Daniel Seavey is much better at being a cute kid than he is at singing. His performance of Straight Up was completely lacking in talent.

Maddie Walker is a bright eyed and ambitious country girl. She delivered a solid interpretation of Suitcase.

Tyanna Jones exudes confidence and showmanship on stage. She has a great voice and she knows it. Her rendition of Wings was fresh, fun and fantastic.

Nick Fradiani is a good looking man with a good voice. His version of In Your Eyes was just that - good.

Jax knows that she has a tendency to suck the life out of songs with her long and drawn out interpretations. She tried to bring the beat back to her performance of I Want To Hold Your Hand, but it was still pretty flat.

Qaasim Middleton is a big phoney. He runs around the stage with all kinds of energy and he throws in a few simple dance moves but none of that hides the fact that he can't sing. Honestly, he has a terrible voice. I never want to hear him butcher Sir Duke, or any other song, again.

Joey Cook is really pushing the limits of her quirky personality. If she was really so special and unique she wouldn't give the same boring performance every week. Tonight's King of Spain was the exact same schtick we have already seen from her.

Questin Alexander was the first of the judge's wild card selections. He delivered a very emotional and impressive version of Royals.

Adanna Duru was the second of the judge's wild card selections and her very entertaining rendition of You and I proved that they made a good choice.

I am happy to report that I correctly predicted that Mark, Adam and Alexis would be eliminated this week. But I am very shocked and disappointed to learn that the lovely and talented Loren is no longer in the competition. She was one of my favorites to make it all the way.

And now my prediction for this week's bottom three. I am going to sound like a broken record every week until we are rid of these three: Daniel, Qaasim and Joey need to go. I don't care which one goes first, but just to make a decision, I think Daniel will be the next to be eliminated.
