March 5, 2009 by Jeanne
See who the judges added to the Top 13 (yes, Top 13!!!) on American Idol tonight after the jump!
Jasmine Murray, Megan Joy Corkrey and Matt Giraud have been added to the finalists.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! American Idol has announced a Top 13 will replace the Top 12 so that Anoop Desai could be added to the finalists! I’m so excited!!!!
That means this is your Top 13:
- Jasmine Murray
- Megan Joy Corkrey
- Matt Giraud
- Anoop Desai
- Alexis Grace
- Michael Sarver
- Danny Cokey
- Lil Rounds
- Jorge Nunez
- Scott MacIntyre
- Allison Iraheta
- Adam Lambert
- Kris Allen
What do you think? Is this a good Top 13? Who is missing? I would have liked to see Mishavonna Henson and Felicia Barton.
I just cant believe that they didn’t give Danny’s best friend a chance. I really thought he could sing during Hollywood Week!
This makes it really interesting with the top 13!
The judges made some great choices tonight.
Good going Anoop Desai.
I’m just happy that complete and utter drama queen (Thank you Simon) and waste of space Tatiana is gone whoo hoo!!! This group seems pretty good, my faves are Danny and Alexis.
Well, everyone I wanted except Ju’not and Alex a chance and gave Von, Jessica, and Tatiana (shrudder) in. Oh, and Scott: I think that Danny’s best friend was one of those speak-singers– he just kinda spoke the songs and he was just so-so. In my opinion, that is… I don’t want to offend you or anything. Go Danny, Anoop, Megan, Adam, Alexis, and Allison!!! Wow, a lot of A’s this season/
Woah, first Jen… freaky. 4 minutes before me, same name, same opinions, same faves… an you say freaky? Wow…
I will miss tatiana (tatis)
So how will the voting work now that they’ve added a 13th? I was expecting 1 to be voted off each week for the next 9 weeks. What happens now?
I really liked Mishovonna. She was really good but my true favorite was Megan Corkrey. She had real potential and she wasnt one of those people who are normal. She is different which makes me really like her. Personally, I think Danny Gokey is going to win the whole thing. Also, I am very glad to see Nick Mitchell (Norman Gentle) gone. Everybody loved him because he was hillarious. But heres the thing, it is a singing contest. Save the comedy for the circus. Also, I was happy to see Tatiana go. She was so annoying to the point I thought she was on drugs. I really dont think Matt should of made it though. There were better singers out there that out shined him. It was sad to see jesse go. She was very forgettable but the was cool and casual. Also, Adam Lambert. He is super fun but he just cant sing. He tottally ruined “I cant get no satisfaction”. Some dissapointments some things I was happy about.
I’m happy some of the hot chicks made it through, although I would have liked to see Kendall Beard (How hot is she?) and make it because they are super hot!
I guess I don’t get it. Meghan is different…so you have to be odd to be good? She moves in a very annoying way that has nothing to do with the rythym of the song..the hip shake and the hands,,ugh. She has bizzare pronunciation of words, and she is, at best, an average singer. I think they proved one thing…just like Simon said: THey cast this show. It has zero to do with talent.
I am so happy they gave anoop dawg a chance. he really deserved it. They picked the right top 12 and yea I say top 12 because I think Jasmine was not nearly as talented as the rest and shouldn’t have made it in. Plus the judges overlooked Kendall the country chick who was amazing for a country singer and Danny’s friend. they both had amazing talent and probably would have been much better then Tatiana the annoying chick and that Jasmine chick. personally I think danny and Lil are going to be the top 2.
I wonder why kendall got shut out of the wildcard. First of all, I hate country music but she was an amazing county singer. This is a singing contest after all. Hello, remember Carrie Underwood is the most successful american idol winner of all time. oh I have to remember the judges pick the wildcard and simon hates country music. what a douche bag he is. at lest he did one thing right. he added anoop dawg to the top 13. It should have been the top 12 if that jasmine chick wasn’t in she is like not even good at all. Kendall should have gotten her spot.
Queue, I like Megan and you are not going to change it. She has an amazing voice and different is great. Like who you like and I will still love meg.
Hannah,
Some people like Adam Lambert’s style and some don’t, but there’s no question the boy can sing.
You may not like how he does it, but anyone who’s ever taken a voice lesson could tell you that if Adam loses AI it won’t be for lack of ability – he’s got the best voice in the competition, hands down. Probably one of the best they’ve ever had on the show.
I am not real happy with AI this year. Those who have left too soon include Danny’s friend, Stevie, Ju’Not and Jesse.
I like Ricky Braddy a lot. It’s sad to see him go.
I don’t like Megan that much.
Dee,
Ok, Adam can sing but I really just dont like the way he does it. He definettaly has a voice I just think he screams a little too much. There are some other voices out there like Lil and Allison who know how to controll their voices. I just think Adam cannt do that as well. But whatever. Everyone on that show can sing, and thats why they are there.
Now that we have our Top 13, i think there’s going to be a double elimination some week (i hope in the first one), or the First finale with a Top 3, what you think?
I also think that the first ones to be eliminated will be Michael, Jasmine and Megan.
And I also predict The Top 5 will be all boys for the first time with: Kris, Anoop, Matt, Danny and Adam on it
I hope you agree, and i think the last girl will be either Allison or Lil, and finish in the Top 6
Personnally, I think some of the reasons some people on the show go so far is because people feel bad for them. Dont get me wrong, all of them can sing very well. I think not many people would love scott macintire if they didnt feel bad for him. Even though Danny Gokey has one of the best voices on the show, he wouldnt be that big of a deal if nobody felt bad for him. Seriously, that all got major pipes I just think some of the voting has to do with other things.
Hannah:
I absolutely agree with you, Anoop, Scott and Danny take advantage because people feel sorry for them for the lost friend, sight and wife respectively.
I want to ask you: Don’t you think this format is unfair? Because very good people like Mishavonna, Ann Marie and Felicia were robbed, and i don’t know but i feel that Jasmine is taking a spot that belongs to someone else, there were better girls than her, and I absolutely think that either her or Michael will be the first to go.
Tony:
Tottaly. It really isnt fair. They can all sing its just like you said, some people got robbed. Ann Marie was one of my favorites. She was very forgettable thoguh. I think that Mishovonna deserves the place instead of Jasmine. Like Simon says, “On this show, there are no second chances” Jasmine messed up “Love song” and people stilled loved her. I am not so sure Michael is the first to go. Even though I wish that, people love him.
I have to say I’m really happy about the 4 people they brought back. They were the four I thought were missing to the top12 !! I’m finally excited about this season ^^
Go Adam, Allison, Jasmine, Megan, Matt and Lil !! Loads of people for now I’ll see who I still like in a few weeks lol
I thought Ricky Braddy was great. He really deserved to be in the top 13. I hop ethat someone gives him a chance in the music industry.
I think that the judges made great decisions!! A top 13…how interesting, but definitly needed since there is SO much talent this year. µy faves are Danny, Lil Rounds and Anoop. OMG I am SO happy that Tatianna didnt make it!!!! LOL
Comment on my comment peeps!!! rotfl mao
