Eliminated contestants:

 

Todrick Hall sings 'Since You've Been Gone' on American Idol 9, Top 24

Todrick Hall sings 'Since You've Been Gone' on American Idol 9, Top 24

Randy got confused for a bit (uhuh), Kara doesn't want him to go 'that crazy' and Simon thought it was a crazy arrangement that was 'verging on stupid'

I thought it started out cool before it got bad, although I didn't think it was that bad. It was definitely interesting to say the least.

Simon called him 'cute', Kara actually said something that made sense and Ellen thinks he'll get better and better.

I liked it.

Jermaine Sellers sings 'Get Here' on American Idol 9, Top 24

Jermaine Sellers sings 'Get Here' on American Idol 9

Ellen likes his 'look' and revealed to us that her favorite word for idol is 'push', Randy thought 'the look is hot', Kara wants him to stop running and Simon implied that he might be going home tomorrow. 

Jermaine tried to save his ass by doing a public apology on American Idol. Lets hope it works.

I honestly thought it started our great and before I knew it, just like the hills and mountains that he was singing about, his voice went through the same journey, trying to go places that only Adam Lambert has managed to go. Nice try, but really, not very nice.

Tim Urban sings 'Apologise' on American Idol 9, Top 24 Performance

Kara thought the music 'swallowed him up' and 'buried him'. Randy said 'Wrong' three times and Ellen said 'adorable' 4 times.

Oh wow. That was bad. However, judging on the film stills below, Urban hottie definitely has a career in showbiz, just not singing, or maybe he does, because he REALLY IS adorable.

Joe Munoz performs 'You and I Both' on American Idol 9 Top 24 Performance

Joe Munoz performs 'You and I Both' on American Idol 9

Ellen thought he sounded 'really really' good, Randy thought he worked it out, Kara thought vocally he was the best tonight and Simon thought he needed to step out of 'the bubble' to become a star. (the bubble I personally think, being the fact that other then his 3 second feature on previous episodes, Joe Munoz was never EVER given any form of airtime)

He's like a mash between Kris Allen and that forgettable Puerto-Rican guy from last season. Having said that, he's actually pretty charming when he sings. Maybe its just me.

Tyler Grady sings 'American Woman' on American Idol 9, Top 24 Performance

Tyler Grady sings 'American Woman' on American Idol 9

Randy wanted him to bring the 70's into 2010 and Ellen wants him to stop 'posing'. Tyler will hit the shopping malls if he gets through.

It was so crazy bad that I might just like it.

Lee Dewyze sings 'Chasing Cars' on American Idol 9 Top 24 Performance Night

Lee Dewyze sings 'Chasing Cars' on American Idol 9 Top 24

Ellen forgets his name, Randy said 'rock' six times, Kara said 'sweet spot' and 'strip it down' in one critique and Simon kills two 'yakking' birds with one stone by disagreeing with both Randy and Kara.

I REALLY wanted to like it but I didn't. I liked the beginning though, like the VERY beginning.

John Park performs 'God Bless The Child' on American Idol Top 24 Performance Night

John Park performs 'God Bless The Child' on American Idol Top 24

Simon thought the performance left him 'flat', Kara's sleepy, Randy likes the 'runs' and Ellen establishes the fact that American Idol is 'run' by young girls who vote.

I really want to start this off by saying something nice; John's introduction clip is funny. Pitchy aside, his voice REALLY turns me on.

I don't care. He makes me feel like a young girl, the type who would vote and subsequently 'control' American Idol.

Michael Lynche sings 'This Love' on American Idol Top 24 Performance Night

Michael Lynche sings 'This Love' on American Idol

Ellen thought that (like his clothes) he had a lot of personality bursting out of him, Randy showed his sensitive side and Simon admits that there is nothing unique or 'big' about it.

Mike made a bad 'gay' joke before calling Ryan 'brotha'.

If you follow my blog you would know that I was very ready to unleash hate comments about Michael having made it through to the top 24, but after all said and done, at the end of it all, I actually did not hate his performance, which goes to show that it might have even been good. Having said that, I'm still hoping that he gets kicked out tomorrow. Hah.

Alex Lambert performs 'Wonderful world' on American Idol Top 24 Performance Night.

Alex Lambert performs 'Wonderful world' on American Idol Top 24

Simon does not like being called 'Sir', Kara mentioned the word 'thick' right before Ellen talks about her love for bananas.

There were moments in the song when I swore that Alex was humping the air. I otherwise loved his tone and thats about it.

Casey James sings 'Heaven' on American Idol Top 24 Performance

 Casey James sings 'Heaven' on American Idol Top 24

Ellen thinks he is 'gonna get votes like crazy', Randy established that hes straight. Kara lied when she mentioned that she did not care how he looked like and Simon called Kara a 'cougar'. 

Casey was ready to get 'torn-apart'. Uhuh.

It was ok. I kind of liked it. I suppose it had more to do with the song, then the idea of him singing it.

Andrew Garcia performs 'Sugar We're Going Down' on American Idol Top 24 Performance.

Andrew Garcia performs 'Sugar We're Going Down'

Simon thought he had a 'fantastic recording voice' but hes really really disappointed. Kara wanted to see him  'again for many many' weeks, Randy said 'try hard' and Ellen wasn't sure whether he had a girlfriend or a wife.

I'm biased anyways so I'm just going to wing my credibility this time and just say, "I REEAALLY LIKE IT!" (Kara Style) In all honesty though, the arrangement went from 'current' to weird.

Didi Benami sings 'The Way I Am' on American Idol Top 24 Performance Night

'Cry-cry-baby' Didi Benami sings 'The Way I am." by Ingrid Michealson

Randy felt 'sleepy', Simon did not get the 'star factor', Kara needs to eat and Ellen thinks everyone in the top 24 is great. I liked the song so i'm gonna be biased, but maybe it might sound better with just a guitar.

It was ok. I was disappointed, maybe because of all the hype about her, but yeah. It was ok.

Michelle Delamor Sings 'Fallin', by Alicia Keys on American Idol Top 24 Performance Night.

Ellen thought it was effortless, incredible and amazing, Simon didn't think 'Wow' though he thought she looked fantastic. Kara thought 'Commercial' (surprise?) and Randy said 'dope'.

I thought it was good, not withstanding the fact that she was almost never featured before this season. (Apart from her 3 second snippet in the group rounds with Charity Vance and Ashley Rodriguez)

Simon really really likes her anyways, Kara, being hungry and unable to concentrate, thinks Crystal will be here 'next year'.

Coffee house performer or not, I love her.

Randy thinks she was terrible, Ellen apologized, 'Simon thought it was depressing after 15 seconds, Kara said 'beautiful girl'.

I was bored.

Haeley Vaughn sings 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand' on American Idol Top 24 Performance night.

Kara said, "You're coming from here (points to her heart). That's why people want to hear you." (Rolls eyes)

Randy and Ellen were pimping for her and Simon (god bless him) told her she's terrible. Ellen finally added, 

'If it was a mess, it was a hot mess."

I think she got her nose pierced for nothing.

Katelyn Epperly sings Oh Darlin on American Idol Top 24 Performance night.

 

Katelyn Epperly sings Oh Darlin on American Idol Top 24 Performance night.

Simon liked her even though he thought she was 'messy', Kara could tell she has been singing for a long time and she didn't like the red lipstick. Randy liked her 'make up thing', Ellen paid attention.

Kara ended it by calling herself a bitch.

She sounds a lot like Allison Iraheta. Like a blonde boring version.

LILLY SCOTT sings 'FIXING A HOLE' for AMERICAN IDOL TOP 24 PERFORMANCE

Ellen thought she had a great presence, Simon gave 'internet artists' a holler, Kara wants her to stand on the street and busk for money. Ryan thought she had the same 'sway' as Kara and Kara craves for attention from Simon, again.

She was ok. Smokin-hot-silver no more though. It seemed grey to me.

Janell Wheeler sings What About Love on American Idol Top 24 Performance Night.

Janell Wheeler sings 'What About Love' from heart on American Idol Top 24 Performance Night.

Randy had 'vibes' from her. Ellen liked her moves, and her. Simon thought she gave a 100 percent but only managed to deliver 65 percent of it. 

She actually made a 'Heart' song sound really 'lightweight'. I dunno. Her long legs did not do it for me this time.
