We are finally through the auditions and pre-show show. Now we have the final thirteen ready to sing their little hearts out for your votes, and soon we will crown a new winner of American Idol, Season 8. I have to say, off the bat, the gratuitous intro for the judges and Ryan was quite ridiculous. The question is, how is this going to work? Will it be a thirteen week show, or are they going to drop two in one week? Well, Simon explains right away, that tomorrow, the bottom two will be going home. As for tonight, the theme artist is Michael Jackson. Not an easy artist to cover, so this will be an interesting night.

We had a fun night of good and bad singing. Tonight, we lose two contestants. This season introduces a twist, a new rule as they have been saying. What is the rule you may ask? Well, until they hit the top 5, the judges get one save. So they can veto one eliminated contestant, and that contestant gets another chance, and the next week two will be eliminated. I think this is awesome, because I was just reviewing my Year in Review that I did at the end of Season 7, and I made a list of things I thought they could change to make it a little more interesting, and one of the things I said was:

Twenty four have sung so far, and six were chosen by you. Tonight, we hear the last twelve sing to earn a spot, and tomorrow only three of them will go through by American vote. Finally, Thursday we will have the Wild Card night. From what I understand of how the Wild Card works, the judges will decide those three spots to be filled. How they will do that, I don't know, we'll see Thursday. Until then, let's focus on tonight performers.
