If you want to delete this, that would be fine. Maybe announce this elsewhere?

We were not told the difference in the votes between Danny and Anoop, but I am betting it is very close. I also believe that Anoop may have also gotten more votes than Alexis. I must add that I think Alexis is a great choice for the girls on tour.

I am confident that he'll give an awesome upbeat performance that people can soak up and also replay his Angel of Mine in their head. This way, we'll see him right before the Top 12 show, which will be fantastic instead of going 2 empty weeks without a peek at him. I’m liking Anoop in the wildcard.

What if Kris (whose fanbase is quickly growing), Kai (appeals to Sarver audience) and/or Normand make it through? What if Scott and/or Von is left out of third round? Unless they flounder terribly, I think they will pick Matt and Adam from the wildcard round first. (And they'd have to do just terrible b/c they were fine with giving Michael Sarver a second chance). Of all the guys left, I think they'd take Anoop over Scott, Von, Ricky, Kris but MAYBE (haven't seen them perform) not Adam and Matt. I also think it will only be 7 guys. If Adam and Matt are the two picked next week I think Anoop can rest easy that he's in. But anything can happen. I'm actually excited to hear some girls and I like the girls on tour.

The girls in Group 3 are strong, and the guys aren't as good, imo. Felicia Barton, Arianna Afsar, Kristen McNamara, Lil Rounds, Kendall Beard, Taylor Vaifanua. That's pretty tough competition.

I can't imagine TPTB not liking that possibility. either. Last year I thought at least 70 % of the concert goers were female fans cheering on the guys. Most of the girls were used as potty breaks, refreshment breaks, etc. I am all for 8 guys 4 girls Top 12, and 8 guys 2 girls Top 10 on the AI Tour.
