"Bring on the Wildcard"

So last night was just as predictable as every other Results Show has been... Lil, Jorge & Scott joined the Top 12... at least we got a little diversity!

- Lil is 100% LaToya London... but with a weaker range.
- Jorge is 100% Clay Aiken (same song choice and everything)... but less pale.
- Scott is like 65% Aiken and 35% Archie... with a weaker vocal & a cooler impairment (sorry Archie paralyzed vocal cords just doesn't carry the same weight as blindness)
* I'm telling you this is American Idol: The New Class (ya know like Saved By the Bell) we're watching this year... same characters different faces!

Other random observations?
- Ryan totally suited up for the occasion.. I like it.
- Idol used Cook's "A Daily AntheM" again... awesome!
- I'm calling "LIP SYNCH" on last night's group song.
- CryBaby Nate still didn't cry... if he's not gonna live up to his nickname everyweek I'm glad he's gone!
- Kara is completely worthless and makes me so appreciative of Paula... (wow... did I really just type that?)
- I'd like to personally thank Alex Wagner-Trugman for his awesomeness and for getting "I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues" stuck in my head... still... 2 days later!
- AND Ryan's new nickname might need to be Captian Obvious! ie: to Ju'Not and Jorge... "one of you is through... and one of you is... not" gee Ryan ya think?
** sidebar: like Asia'h Epperson before him... I'm glad Ju'Not didn't make it through, because his name's so gosh darn annoying to type.

On to the real fun of the evening... WILD CARD PICKS!
- Randy announces Von Smith first, Simon tells him to wear a hat! Fabulous advice Simon, really.
- Kara gives the gift that just keeps on sucking... Jasmine Murray. Ridiculous!
- Paula names Ricky Braddy... another one of the best voice that probably won't make the top 12.
- Simon names would be/could be/should be "package artist" Megan Corkery.
- Randy brings the crazy back with Tatiana del Toro... Simon mocking her was quite possibly the funniest thing I've ever seen.
- Kara continues to be useless calling Matt Giraud the "bluesyest" contestant ever! And he's pretty cocky for a dude who made me hate Coldplay even more that I already did.
- Paula must have drawn the right straw because she's getting to name the cool picks... Jesse Langseth deserves the spot over Megan any day.
- and when Simon finally tells me I've been waiting to hear for 3 weeks all I can chant to myself is "Anoop's so cute, he's so cute..." (Ps. Anoop & Braddy seem to be friends! Aw.. I like it!)

So tonight this 8 can either sing a new song or try their previous one again... here's hoping for all new stuff!
My dream three? Anoop, Braddy & Jesse
Probably three? Matt G., Anoop & Megan

But whichever way it turns out... tonight will probably be the best of the last three weeks... for the first time all season.. I'm a bit excited!
