America Picks 3 More "Idols" for Top 12

Last night's Idol results show revealed three more picks for the top 12. Gaining the top girl's spot was Allison, who was also my top pick. Kris Allen was awarded the next spot over Megan Corkery, even though dialidol.com bet on that spot going to either Matt Giraud or Jesse Langseth. Kris definitely did well enough to surpass the other males - Matt G, Matt B, Kai, and Nick/Norman - but I was almost certain this round would see two girls advance.

The third spot was a giveaway, with Adam winning the third spot over Nick/Norman, presumably winning the highest amount of votes of all the singers, same as Danny. There seems to be a fair amount of love/hate for these two, whose fans already seem to be forming a rivalry between them. You know which camp I'm in thus far in the competition, but it's only round 1- I can't wait to see what they'll bring to the big stage. Just a note to all you Adam haters out there - you may not like his hairstyle, his clothes, or his singing style, but you can't deny his vocal talent or the fact that he brings something a little different, dare I say unexpected to the traditionally one-note (pun intended) Idol stage.

As for the wild card round, I think that Megan, Jesse, and Matt G (Matt based on past performances alone) should be given a second chance. Who would you send to the WC round? Are you happy with last night's picks? Are you ecstatic that this is the last you'll see of Norman Gentle's sweat bands and desperate performances?

I don't like the new format. It is too easy for the singers to get bounced for song choice or nerves or what ever... As for second chances, I agree with your choices for the wild card round but I think Mishavonna also deserves another shot.
