Today marks the top 36: the ritual episode with a chair and an elevator. Except…wait! There’s a giant spiral staircase instead of an elevator. And there’s still a chair, but it’s like…throne-ish. It’s a "judges’ mansion" theme. Oh my…this could be interesting.
Anyway, there’s not much for me to rate, so I’ll just be recapping who got in and out in case you missed someone. I might throw in an opinion here or there if I can, especially because they’re introducing a "sing-off" section. First up…
Anoop Desai ~ yes
Von Smith ~ yesCody Sheldon ~ singing for the judges? Okaaay…
Alex Wagner-Trugman ~ he sang too, but he got in while Cody had to go. I liked Cody. I won’t hold that against him though.
Adam Lambert ~ yes!
Taylor Vaifanua ~ yes
Arianna Afsar ~ yes
Jasmine Murray ~ yes
Casey Carlson ~ yes
Megan Corkrey ~ yes
Mishavonna Henson ~ yes
Stevie Wright ~ yes
Joanna Pacitti ~ yes
Kendall Beard ~ yes
TK Hash ~ no
Chris Chatman ~ no
Reggi Beasley ~ no
Jenn Korbee ~ sing-off, and she did really well.
Kristin McNamera ~ …but so did she. She’s in.
Alexis Grace ~ (my favorite, so far, I think) yes!!!
Scott Macntyre ~ yes!
Lil Rounds ~ yes
Felicia Barton ~ no
Ashley Hollister ~ no
Devon Baldwin ~ no
CR: FOX
Frankie Jordan ~ had to sing on the spot. Wait, they’re making her come back later.Jesse Langseth ~ sang too, in my opinion, better than Frankie. (Even though Simon said it was horrible song.)
Jesse and Frankie ~ who’s in…Jesse!
Shera Lawrence ~ no
Derik Lavers ~ no
Danny Gorkey ~ yes
Jamar Rogers ~ …no? what? …dude. That was unexpected.
Ricky Braddy ~ yes
Matt Giraud ~ yes
Ju’not Joyner ~ yes
Jorge Nunez ~ yes
Brent Keith ~ yes
Stephen Fowler ~ yes
Nick Mitchell/Norman Gentle ~ through! I am pumped for this guy, we have a comic in the top 36!
Jackie Tohn ~ yes
Tatiana del Toro ~ the theory-breaker. Let’s see, it’s a…yes? Oh, man…she has a nice voice, but I can’t stand her personality.
Jackie Midkiff ~ another who has to sing.
Nathaniel Marshall ~ had to sing as well, but he ended up making it through, while Jackie did not.
Jeanine Vails ~ yes
Kai Kalama ~ yes
Kris Allen ~ yes
Matt Breitzke ~ had to sing
Michael Sarver ~ had to sing also, but made it.
Fortunately, Matt did also. Both of them are there.
here’s your top 36, girlies. Now we get to discuss our favorites and our least favorites, who should have gotten in and who shouldn’t. My personally favorite is Alexis Grace. I’m also rather fond of Nick and/or Norman, the comedian, but I’m not sure how long they’ll let him ride without really stepping up his vocals. And I’m wondering what is going on with Tatiana. Maybe some of you like her? I think “Vote for the Worst” syndrome might actually get a hold of her once the voting starts. She’s totally going to annoy so many people.
