Top 13 for Idol

I'm posting a couple of cards tomorrow - I promise!!

It was a crazy night on “American Idol.” Somehow in two hours they managed to cut 14 contestants, make six sing, bring back three and premiere Jennifer Lopez’s new video.  After naming the top ten, the judges, on the spot (yeah right… as if the entire night wasn’t rehearsed), picked six contestants America did not vote through to the top ten and made them sing again.

The top ten that America voted for are:

• Scotty McCreery 
• Jacob Lusk
• Casey Abrams
• Paul McDonald
• James Durbin 
• Pia Toscano 
• Lauren Alaina
• Karen Rodriguez
• Thia Megia
• Haley Reinhart 

The judges had six contestants sing for their life.  The were:

• Ashton Jones
• Stefano Langone
• Kendra Chantelle
• Jovany Barreto
• Naima Adedapo
• Robbie Rosen

Ashton, Stefano and Naima made it through so now we have a top 13!

I’m bummed that Lauren Turner, Robbie and Tim Halperin are gone.  I just hope that Scotty can show off his talent on other genres than country.  Don't get me wrong - country is great, but all of America doesn't like it.  If he can, I think he will be a top contender along with Pia.
