Idol Envy: Top 16 pt. 3 - "So Long Farewell" It's Elimination Night


Tonight the game changes, the Top 12 will be revealed and the true stars will begin to shine.

Group 1: Didi Benami, Katelyn Epperly, Siobhan Magnus, and Paige Miles
And the first two ladies to join this years Top 12 are Didi and Siobhan (YES!!!!)
Leaving Paige and Katelyn, we know one is moving on. Based on the last three weeks I would guess Katelyn is the third girl going through tonight, I guessed wrong. Paige makes it into the Top 12 and Katelyn will sing her swan song.
Yes, Katelyn's performance last night was weak, very safe, and not her best, but vocally I thought she did a much better job than Paige. This competition is known for their shockers. Let's see how the first group of guys fair.

Group 2: Tim Urban, Todrick Hall, Lee Dewyze, and Casey James
Casey and Tim (yay, I get dreamy eyes for another week) are the first set of guys to enter the Top 12.
Thus, leaving Todrick and Lee center stage. Of the two, Todrick has been choosing big songs and not delivering on them. Last night he did a better job, but I feel he just isn't gonna make it through, this time I am right.

Group 3: Crystal Bowersox, Lacey Brown, Michael Lynche, and Aaron Kelly
Crystal is the next girl to enter the top 12 (this was a no brainer). She's followed by another obvious choice, Michael Lynche. Lacey Brown is brought to the center stage and told she too has made the top 12. Aaron Kelly takes Lacey's place at the center of the stage. Aaron had a rocky performance last night, but America sees the potential in him and votes him through to the top 12.

Group 4: Alex Lambert and Andrew Garcia/Katie Stevens and Lilly Scott
The first two brought to the center of the stage are Alex and Andrew. I really would have preferred to see two other contestants at this moment. Alex's has shown improvement each week and gave a solid performance last night. Andrew hit a pinnacle during Hollywood week, which we haven't seen him repeat since, but he has a great voice. So who did America chose? Andrew Garcia. I am so gonna miss Alex, I love his voice, dorkiness, and even his stupid mullet.

Next up, Katie Stevens and Lilly Scott get brought center. Last night Katie's performance was not good, on the upside she chose a young song it just was not the right young song. Katie took the judge's previous critiques and applied them to her performance, but the payoff just wasn't there. Lilly, on the other hand did a much better job, in retrospective her performance of I Fall to Pieces may not have been the right song at this stage of the competition. So who stays? Lilly who has star potential or Katie the young girl with the mature voice. My choice would be Lilly, America did not agree with me.

This years Top 12 has been chosen. I'm sad to see Alex and Lilly go, but I have to remind myself that in the end there is only one winner. And with this show, sometimes losing can be the best thing for your career.

~ ENVY OUT!
