Comments on: More on the Confusing Wild Card Round: Anoop Makes It? Plus, Will the Kids Perform the Same Songs? http://www.mjsbigblog.com/more-on-the-confusing-wild-card-round.htm American Idol - I Love This Cheesy Show Fri, 10 Feb 2012 06:45:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Duke http://www.mjsbigblog.com/more-on-the-confusing-wild-card-round.htm/comment-page-3/#comment-194291 Duke Tue, 24 Feb 2009 20:40:29 +0000 http://mjsbigblog.com/more-on-the-confusing-wild-card-round.htm#comment-194291 I'm gunna BET that the kids will NOT be singing the same song. Not only will that be totally anti-climatic, but the producers are smarter than that because if they were to sing the same song, the judgement (unless the contestant totally bombs) will probably be based on their first performances- not cool. And ratings wouldnt be nearly as good. Having said that, anyone think Casey will get a spot? :lol_tb: I’m gunna BET that the kids will NOT be singing the same song.

I think they will say so and so goes through because they got the next highest vote. It will be dragged out for an hour like an elimination show.

Will it be a live show (wondered about that since we won't be voting and only the judges will make their decisions) ?? If it is a live show and Anoop makes the Wildcard I expect him to get very emotional as that is the anniversary date of the murder of his friend from UNC (lots of memorial stuff going on in Chapel Hill that day).

( And I bet Lil will have the pimp spot too) With almost no screen time, its imposibble for her to at least had the third higher votes getter unless she pull out a Latoya.

All Ryan said was that 20,000 votes separated him and Michael. How do we know that someone else wasn't just 10,000 short of Michael? I don't remember Ryan saying he was 4th.

I believe someone mentioned the difference between Michael's votes and Anoop's was .08%. IMO, he was the THIRD highest vote getter. <em><strong> In addition, Anoop's Troup are gathering new fans every day; TPTB are well aware of his popularity.</strong></em> I may be in the minority, but I have no problem with them singing the same song. The contestants can view their performance and figure out what to do to improve. This will show growth in their development and why they belong in the TOP 12.. The twist may be a TOP 13 with two leaving the first week of competition, but that seems too easy. Nigel would have loved seeing Adam perform. There have been too many dull performances thus far.

That would make sense if the band doesn't have time for new arrangement and that would be a better idea than singing the same stupid song again. Also, what if they bring back Emily Hughes? I think they need strong girls, and they need more diversity other than r&b/soul music. After David Cook winning, I was thinking there would be more rock! Hey!
